Sunday: There were no travels involved for Flynn today so the magic carpet stayed in the parking garage: the plan was to play at the Aria for as long as the bankroll would endure. Uneventful, yet highly recommended. Flynn was seated at a new table (again, his fav), facing the TV so he could watch…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 7
The Chronicle apologizes in advance for the short and uneventful nature of this post. As a matter of fact, there is no a whole lot of upside to the day in general. Mind you, dear readers, nothing tragic happened. Any day in LV is better than a day in rain and gray. The worst part…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 6
(Friday, the 8th) After yesterday’s rant about the Orleans room management, Flynn and Ollie were looking forward to spending some time in a classier joint. Before they could do that, however, they had to venture out to a store with food and stock up on supplies for the remainder of the week. Off they went,…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 5
F&O were determined to do a photo shoot on this Thursday. So, up and out of the room at the ungodly houur of 1130. They wanted a montage of pix of all the iconic LV sights. They drove to the Welcome sign, the line was too long. They went to the new arch (which is…
LV 01/21 ~ Episode 4
Wednesday (our friendly reminder to self). F&O are having a difficult time remembering exactly what they did. Yeah: When they finally left the temporary nest, they ventured out to the remote areas of the desert to look at housing options for the future. (FYI, Bunkerville is off the list.) Didn’t purchase anything, but thought about…
LV 1/21 , Episode 3
We shall call this the day of the views. After a leisurely morning with plenty of sleep the night before, Flynn and Ollie still ran slightly late to meet a friend at the Red Rock Casino. This person moved to the area in the past few years, so F&O wanted to pick his brain about…
LV 01/21 , Episode 2
Monday: (we only mention this to remind ourselves, as it is so easy to lose track of days when one is a drunk, poker playing degenerate). After a leisurely morning (okay, to afternoon) in the room, recovering from the night before, Flynn headed over to the Bellagio via the shortcut, which took him through the…
LV 01/21 , Episode 1
Flynn & Ollie touched down in LV on a Sunday afternoon. It was not raining, it was not cold, and it was not gray. Mission accomplished. An hour later, a hefty tip in place, we were ensconced in the hotel room with a fabulous view of the the fountains, the strip, the north valley and…
The Poker Drama – GG issue
The Chronicle’s editors have been unusually quiet recently about the world of poker and cozen. However, having some time on their hands, and giving great thought to the topic (reading Twitter), it is time to tackle the @DanBilzerian / GG issue. Should GG have signed him as an ambassador? Short answer, yes. We know this…
Stones Postle Kuraitis Brill
Way back when, the Chronicle wrote about the allegations against Stones Gambling Hall , Justin K, and Mike P. by Veronica B. (and others, eventually). Our conclusion at that time was to wait and see what a neutral party (the court) had to say. The court spoke: “We aren’t going to play this game”. The…
