MAN what a fun trip!! Too many details to talk about, you know "what happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" !!! LOL



Birthday weekend was Great!! Fishing was OK, but Vegas was a BLAST!!!



- Caught 1 hybrid on Friday night spooning, have to thank Dan J for teaching me how. Caught one decent (maybe 2lb) bass on a small spinner bait at the neighboorhood pond on Sat AM.

- Arrived in Vega 10am Sun at the hotel with mom, rooms ready, off to look around.

- Saw every hotel/casino I wanted to, LOTS of new cool stuff to look at. Best interior was Paris, HUGE ceilings and GREAT art work!!!

- Rode the NY NY Rollercoaster! i'm a big kid!

- Ate lunch on sunday at the Monte Carlo brew pub, great beer and food!

- Played all the games/slots I wanted. tried some new ones like Carabean stud poker (lost $40 but it was fun!!!). Did not play Texas Holdem, most of the casino's that had $100 or $50 buy-ins had DAYS wait for players.

- Ate like a king for free in the "diamond" lounges at Harrahs and Rio where mom is a member!

- Highlight of the trip, beside spending time with Mom, was 7.5 HOURS at one Blackjack table!!! started 6:15pm on Monday at the Casino Royale, only place with a $2 table. Played till 2AM Tues morning!!! started with $20 figured i'd loose it in an hour or so. Left at 2AM with $100 (up $80) and went through 4 dealers, more people then I can count coming/going at the table, 1 broken shuffling shoe, and I could have stayed/played till my plane left!!! LOL UNBELIEVABLE!!! I even TRIED to loose by betting $5, $10, $20 a hand then i'd WIN again!!! LOL



Met the family for dinner at 4:30pm but ONLY beka showed up!! Her sister told beka 'you and mike have a nice birthday dinner, i'll watch the boys'!! Got home about 6pm and the kids/Suzie had a surprise party for me in the dining room! Balloon,s homemade cards/gifts from all the kids, a Fish shaped Chocolate cake made with Imperial STOUT!!!! Great birthday weekend!!

Dan - I was fishing the mouth of a cove on Allatoona and my graphs went BONKERS with HUGE schools of baitfish and the occational topwater blowup! I through flukes and top waters without a blowup. I didn't have my U-rigs so I trolled some rattletraps and cranks with no bite (was figuring they were stripers) then I remember how you taught me to spoon them up when we were on Lanier last year. caught one and lost 2 more on the FlexIt Spoon.

I love the Casino Royale. What a dive!!! But I always seem to win there. I am off to Vegas tomorrow. Hope you left some money there for me to win! Happy Birthday by the way!
 
Teri - I is a DIVE, and what was good for me was all the other casino's when you order a drink a the table give you a Bottle of Beer or a FULL mixed drink! Casino Royale only gave out 8 once glasses of beer and 1/2 full (4 oz) mixed drinks like MudSlides! Good as it took SOO LONG for a Cocktail waitress to return, I didn't get as drunk as I could have !!!! LOL I also enjoyed O'Sheas for the lower table/Craps minimums and they server GUNIESS!!!!



Have a safe trip and good luck!!!

Trep,

Glad to hear you had a good time.

Do we call you King Blackjack now?

I guess $80.00 isn't enough to get that new GLASS boat, though!

Keep on trying!!

I've never been to Vegas, I just go to Tunica, MS every few months. It's good for gambling, but NO sights to see.

Oh well, it's fun anyway!

Happy Birthday again!

Tom - I WISH it was King Blackjack!!! Now if i'd have sat down at a $100 table, and did the same thing that would be GREAT! But my luck the first bet i'd be gone!!! LOL



Been to Tunica once (Beka took me there for my 32nd birthday as a surprise for a long weekend), nice place to gamble you're right, but NOTHING to see!!!!



Trep
 
Happy B-day and welcome back.



$80 in winnings??? Only adds up to about 10 bux an hour, Trep...you could flip burgers for that!!!

BWAAHAAHAAAA
 
Neeley - I know!!! That's what I thought when it was all over!!! I was up to like $60 after 2 hours, should have hit the pool and then a snack and bed!!! But heck, I HAD to try!!!!



What I wanted to do at 2am but was TOO tired and had a little to drink, was take that $100 and hit a $50 min table and see if in 2 hands I could double it!!! IF it had been earlier I would have!!
