We left Tuscany in the morning and arrived downtown about 12. I was bloody tired since staying up all night seemed like a good idea at the time. Luckily they let us check in early, so we dropped our stuff off and got a taxi to walmart. We shopped for about an hour, on the way out we were waiting for the taxi and saw 2 cars nearly collide trying to steal each others parking spot (it was a good spot). The guy jumped out and started abusing the women in the other car and then sulked off. It was pretty funny.
On the way back we had this crazy taxi driver who asked us if they have walmarts in london. He was having a bad day for some reason and we all had to squish into the back seat of the taxi to make room for his Mcdonalds which took the front seat. It was a fun and entertaining trip back.
When we got back I had a snooze and then me and Andy had another live session, this time at the Golden Nugget, one of the old school casinos. It was an uncapped game, which means you can buy in for any amount. Andy bought in for $300 and I bought in for $200. There were several players with over $1000 in front of them at the table. The game didnt seem that good at first, except there was this one huge fish who was playing every hand and raising around 80% of them pre flop. I can only remember 2 biggish hands I played, the first was AQ in a multiway pot where i flopped Q33 and won around $120, and another hand where I had AK and flopped 2 pair and won about $170.
Andy had one really big hand where he played played brilliantly in a pot against the fish at the table, he made a full house vs the fishes straight and won a pot of about $700. We made friends with 2 guys at the table that were very good players who play online. They had lived in Hawaii but have moved to LA and were in Vegas for a few nights on their days off work. We will probably see them there again tonight.
We both finished up with wins just shy of $250, giving us combined winnings over around $1000 for the trip, which is an excellent return for just 3 live sessions.
After we quit the game around 3am we went to the local maccas and got a feed. The "Large" size here really is...large. We got some photos of the flashy casino lights and then came home, watched a few episodes of Curb your enthusiasm and then went to bed. When we were at the wall mart we bought a sleeping bag/air mattress for Andy since we only have the 2 beds in the room. He was originally going to sleep on this fold out bed which the staff brought up, but after we discovered it was hilariously uncomfortable (well i thought it was hilarious) we thought we better buy a mattress. I woke around 7am this morning to see a very frustrated and tired Andy sleeping on the floor on top of a deflated air mattress explaining that we needed some special pump to actually blow the thing up. Oops.
