VPC Went Vegas 2014: Day 7. Redrock, Sushi, Comedy & Clubbin’

I wake up hung-over as ****. It’s 10AM. Of course I find some sort of rhythm on the last day. After a shower I need breakfast but I first need chopstick. My lips are nearly bleeding from drought. I buy chop stick at the gift shop and go to Casino Royale for a subway breakfast when I realize I left the chop stick at the gift shop counter…

Baars is taking care of his passport business in LA and scheduled to be back around 1PM but he’ll most likely crash after that since he pulled an all-nighter. Hugo wants to go to a place he hasn’t been before and Iebus wants to play a other poker game than hold’em. That leaves New Orleans and Red Rock casino. My Bravo app shows PLO High / Low running at both places and we go with Red Rock Casino. Little did we know it was at worlds end…

When the taxi meter hits forty bucks I start wondering what we were thinking but we arrive soon after and get blown away by the beauty of this resort. If it wasn’t for it’s ****ty location I would go ahead and say this is the best casino in Vegas. We hit the poker room where Iebus finds his funny game. Bozzie grinds the sports book and after about an hour I join him since I don’t feel like more poker. We’ve been playing quite a bit this week – which was definitely a goal – but I’m done and start checking out this mega resort a bit more with Bozzie.

We get to the bowling lanes and want to throw a few balls but the attendant tells us he has no lanes available. I tell him we suspected as much because of all the action going on. There are 60 lanes. 59 lanes are not occupied. You serious, mate? Apparently there is a competition tonight and all 60 lanes are reserved. Whatever.

With not much else to do I jump back into the poker game. Hugo is nurturing close to a 1K stack so that seems to go very well. Iebus is up in a game he’s currently googling the rules of so all is well. During my game my new watch get ruined. Some sour grinder out of the blue asks “is that a Mickey Mouse watch”? Whut? No it’s not. You retard. Why? ‘With the face and ears and all’. And then I see it. For **** sake. I’m rocking a Mickey Mouse watch. You basterd. Good thing I stack this a-hole ten minutes later so he basically paid for the watch and that helps when I look at it now.

We agreed to leave at six but I see Hugo packing up his ~ $900,- stack (at 1/2) at 17:30 so I asks if he wants to leave but Hugo didn’t notice the time and sits down to play again. I tell him to snap quit because this last half hour is jinxed now. Hugo laughs at that but obviously doesn’t need a rack 30 minutes later….

Back in Mirage we prepare for our last night in Town. We want to go to the LA Comedy Club at 21:30 and eat Sushi first. I had my first real sushi dinner the night before Vegas and absolutely loved it. I scrolled trough the Sushi topic and decided on Koi in Planet Hollywood. Not that it was the best option but it’s 8PM and Koi is close to the LA Comedy Club, also Bozzie and Baars are no Sushi fans and Koi offers other food as well.

I’m obviously no expert but the sushi at Koi was very nice, especially the spider roll was awesome. Great place if you want to try some sushi and not overspend. We bought tickets for the comedy club at a booth on the strip. The general admission was ~ 20 bucks but we went for the all you can drink VIP package (~ 50,-)

The LA Comedy Club is noting more than a bunch of chairs at the second floor of Bally’s. To profit max form the all you can drink package we start pounding on the Vodka Orange juice buckets. I squeeze in four of those monsters during the show. The first two comedians are what you expect for a 20 bucks admission; lolbad. The last two guys are saving the day. Brandon Hahn and Kevin Shea are obviously more experienced and Shea even performed on Jimmy Kimmels Saturday Night Live. It was well worth the money.

After the comedy we take a cab towards Venetian. I plan on playing poker there until we have to leave for the airport in the morning once the Clubbin’ is done. The Rockhouse that used to be our local pub while staying at Imperial is moved to The V. We check the place out and throw together some money for drinks. Bozzie only chips in a twenty because, well, he’s to old for this **** and wants to hit the sack. Where busting his balls and he finally mans up and goes for the full buy-in. Only problem now is that Bozzie has a mission to burn the drink moniez asap so he can still go to bed ‘early’. Hugo solves the problem by ordering Bozzie two bottles each round.

It’s not to busy in The Rockhouse but we’re power drinking and it’s a good time. It’s obvious Tequila has to be a part of this last night so shots are ordered. Baars is still recovering from his shot last night as this one doesn’t go down to easy as you can see in epic movie below. Mine went down real smooth….

Normally I hate the toilet employees at clubs but this night the toilet is run by a dude who really makes a party at the toilet and I’m pretty sure he makes a decent living of it as the tip box is stuffed to the brim.

After the tequila’s and power drinking Bozzie is out cold. I guess he wasn’t joking all week. We leave the Rockhouse around 03:30 and stumble back into the Venetian. Bozzie fell asleep against a wall and is of to bed. Baars, Hugo and Iebus are going for Black Jack and Roulette and find my way towards the poker room.

A shout from the dealer wakes me up around 5AM and I realize it’s time to go. I cash out and see Baars walking into the poker room. Baars is happy because finally a black jack session went well. Baars was at 950 and wanted to cash out 1k. He bet 50 and lost. No problem. He then bet 100 and lost. Still no biggie. He then bet 200 and lost. Hmm. To solve this problem Baars just bet the last 600 at once and……won. Easy game.

While taking a piss we experience a true ‘Katana moment’ at Venetian restrooms. A dude is out cold on the ****ter. We make sure it isn’t Bozzie and then let security handle the situation. After a few burgers at McDonalds it’s 6AM but our flight leaves at 09:30 so we still have 1,5 hours to kill. I pack my bags and say goodbye to Iebus how has an earlier flight since he booked later then the rest. Sleeping is no option so I take an hour long shower to sober up.
