Trip Report 9/10 to 9/16 Wynn, Bellagio etc.
This was my first trip to Vegas since I started
playing poker seriously. I checked into the MGM on monday night but wanted to play at the Wynn. They had a 8/16 mixed game going but that broke when I got there. Ended up playing 4/8 hold'em for a bit. The next two days I played the 10/20 O8B. The compitition was tough. Same faces every morning. As for the Wynn; very nice room, tables/chairs and staff. They also set me up with a room for thursday night. On wednesday night I was back at the Wynn. My sleep schedule for the week was 2pm to 8pm. They had a dozen names up but weren't too eager to open up another omaha table. So it was off to the Bellagio for some 8/16 hold'em. I read the thread where everyone trashes the Bellagio. Yes the felt was dirty, the tables were bunched together and the chairs wouldn't roll but the action was great and so were the dealers. In the four sessions that I played at the Bellagio ( two 8/16 & two 15/30 ) the games were soft and hardly any pre flop chops. The wednesday night 8/16 game broke at 4:30am and I walked back to the MGM. Bad Idea. The area infront of Ballys was filled with gangbangers and hookers. The gangbangers followed me to the end of Paris. Luckily for me there was a group of construction workers that crossed the street at that point. Early saturday morning after a night of partying with my friends that flew out from Boston for a bachelor party I took a chance at the 15/30 game at the Bellagio. It was my most profitable session cashing out 3+ racks. Because the room was practically empty most of us would get up and try out chairs. All in all I had a good time. The cocktail waitresses at the Wynn and the Venetian (no poker just blackjack) were the hottest. But there was a tall one with long light brown hair that worked the graveyard at the Bellagio that caught my eye. Some other obervations. I wanted to at least play one tournament at the MGM but was late for registration. On the board spread 2/4, 3/6 & 4/8 hold'em. When I brought this up and asked why they don't just spread 3/6 & 6/12 ( the use grey $3 chips for the drop boxes ) the floorman just shrugged. The Planet Hollywood room looked nice. When they ever get done with the construction I could see it being a popular room. We stayed at the Rio for the weekend they were spreading a 4/8 O8B game. Stelios |
