My head hits the pillow a 23:00. I wake up again at 01:00, take a piss, see that Hugo busted the Caesars event as well, pop a sleeping pill and wake up at 04:00, take a piss, pop a sleeping pill and wake up again at 07:00. Easy game. My sleeping pills help you fall asleep and don’t make you sleep longer so you can take 20 of them and not die. I think. I had only five pills left from the last trip so I don’t triple barrel this morning and just hit the shower.
The ATM at Casino Royale spits out cash without any trouble so I’m well funded now and of to the Venetian for some earlier morning pokers. Early morning poker is often epic since at least half the table is still hanging around from the night before. Today is no different. Three guys can’t keep their eyes open and are discussing whether or not they should go to bed because some Handegg match starts at noon. An Asian dude joins the table and out of the blue starts telling about the three girls he took to his room last night. One of the sleepy guys wakes up and asks; “Did they blow you?”. Asian dude; “Nah, they wanted $ 300 for that”. An understanding head-nod follows from sleepy head. The fact that all this gets discusses as if it’s the most common conversation in the world makes me love this town even more. A true Only in Vegas moment.
If I understand correctly today are the semifinals for the Superbowl match. Now, no one in the Netherlands gives a rats ass about American Sports except for Bozzie. Bozzie follows the NBA , NHL and what not and managed to gather some following with that in our home town. Since you can bet on these games Iebus automatically likes them so Bozzie and Iebus plan on hitting the Sport books today.
Baars maxed out his credit card in a single day and found out he can only get $ 300,- a day from his checking’s account. That kind of money lasts Baars approximately two hours in Vegas. On a good day, that is. So Baars’s plans for the day are getting in touch with his bank and getting cash back on credit card.
Around nine Hugo joins me at The Venetian and we hang around in the cash games till eleven when we hit Earl of Sandwich again on our way towards Aria. Against my somewhat autistic nature I order a different sandwich which is again awesome. We buy-in to the Aria $ 125,- 1PM tourney and hit the slot machines to kill the half hour that is left until the start.
Every seat in the Aria Poker room has it’s own USB port so I can charge my phone while missing all possible flops with AQ. A charged phone and about six corona’s is all I manage to squeeze out of this tourney. I had to make some big – correct – folds this tourney and although this is the best ~ $ 100,- tourney on the strip they are not designed to make a lot of big folds. I can’t remember my bust hand form this tourney which pretty remarkable since I basically never forget any hands I play. Probably some ill timed 3 high shove.
Hugo is struggling with his 20 bb stack so it can’t be long until he’s joins me at the slot machines for some more cheap Corona grinding. It takes him about half an hour to bust but when we want to leave Iebus and Bozzie come strolling in so we hang around the slots for a couple of hours and grind Corona’s.
I saw online that Planet Hollywood had some sort of Pool Hall in their casino so we go there to shoot a couple of racks. Baars is up and running again and we send him towards PH but unfortunately we stumble over a roulette table in the Aria that doesn’t take our money within 30 seconds so Baars has to wait for bit.
We find Baars at the PH black jack tables and grab dinner at Gorden Ramsey’s Burgr restaurant which was decent mostly because of the hot waitresses. We grab dinner means Hugo, Bozzie, Iebus and I. Baars was not losing at his usual rate so couldn’t leave the BJ tables and joins us pretty much when we’re fished. That doesn’t stop him from ordering though….
DB’s Pong and Pool sounds like a Pool Hall but it’s basically looks like a homeless shelter gone out of business. There are two pool tables in the back that look like they fell of a truck at maximum speed. You can’t even make some of the shots because the table is too close to the wall but who cares about all that when the waitress is a solid 9+? Nobody.
We order a couple of Corona buckets and shoot pool for about an hour before we stroll back towards Mirage. It’s 11PM and again it’s more than clear the Las Vegas nightlife has nothing to fair form the VPC this evening. We have the Casino Crawl planned for tomorrow so that requires a lot of energy. Baars hits the Black Jack, Hugo, Iebus and Bozzie hit the poker room and hit my pillow for a power nap.
In bed at 23:15. Wide awake at 00:30. Just as planned. I freshen up and join Hugo and Iebus in the poker room. Iebus is up big and even Hugo seems to be winning tonight. Bozzie went to bed and Baars? Well Baars found out one can loose more than only money in Las Vegas. More on that tomorrow. I sit down in the 1/2 game and start drinking some sort of Vodka Lime that my neighbor seems to enjoy. Their quite tasty and I start chugging those back till about 4 in the morning when the game breaks. Bedtime.
