The Def Leopard/Journey concert was a good time. The seats were high up but centered so we saw everything, even though they looked like ants. But that’s ok since it was crazy loud and I didn’t need men sweating on me. The girlfriend loves 80s rock and knew all the songs and I knew like 4 combined. It’s not gonna hold a candle to the Lindsey Stirling/Evanescence concerts next month but nothing can.
Totally decided to give up Thursday’s at Foxwoods. We used to get plo8 going on the regular and now there’s no shot. There’s no more high hand that day for NL either. The only value is my points expire at midnight Thursday but I’ll get the 9pm bus one way or another. I’m ok working the bare minimum at the civilian job as long as I get in the better poker days and see the girlfriend enough. Speaking of that we are getting couples massage and seeing Criss Angel there end of the month, Fox gave us free tickets.
I’m a really big wrestling fan, and it’s actually somewhat kept me from Vegas for a few years. I used to meet up with this wrestling observer convention to watch UFC in July(International Fight Week) but they cancelled that and now meet there on Summerslam weekend. I live in NYC and actually go to NXT and Summerslam so I don’t go, plus going alone to Vegas sucks. It’s also EXPENSIVE. I don’t like paying Uber, rooms, food, everything just so I can play poker. I don’t pay any of that in Foxwoods. You’re legit down 1k at the end of a week if you add all that up.
actually living in vegas costs less. i paid $402 a week plus gas to bill potts repeatedly when i stayed at a motel 15 miles from foxwoods. for about 550 total a week. now in vegas my costs are about $150 a week less than that.
ReplyDeleteI guess it’s all about establishing yourself with free rooms, lounge trips for food etc. but with Vegas you still get owned with cab rides and heat no matter what
DeleteYou can still do Las Vegas for less if you carefully plan things. The best part is having your choice of so many different rooms to play.
ReplyDeleteI mean that part is nice, but you need more reasons to go. An event or friends for example. I have a BIG issue spending a still sizable chunk of cash if the sole goal is to win cash.
DeleteI have enough miles for free flights to Vegas, comped rooms at many places, free promos galore and still won't go because can't get anyone to go with me to share the time with. I go to east coast casinos alone plenty. My gf won't go to Vegas because of the smoke. One of my gambling buddies I went to Vegas with twice before say's he ain't never going back to Vegas now that AC will have sportsbooks.

ReplyDeleteI have tickets Aug 17 in Tampa. Can't wait.
That’s awesome. Evanescence is good but I’m a huge fan of Lindsey.
