Made it to the Bay Area – spent time with family and (naturally) doing envy passes on the SF Bay in front of Pier 39 for all the tourists on the Quixote sailing ship. While F&O had just done the same thing last month, and had originally intended another route this trip, it turns out…
What day is it and where are F&O?
Okay, here is a quick update for our loyal readers: In Reno/Sparks, NV, all powered up with plenty of G, Flynn and Ollie began thinking about the logistics of step 2 of their trip – off to Coarsegold to visit family and friends, go on a dinner train ride, try a SUP for the first…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 11
Golly, gee whiz. Not much to report of interest other than Flynn ended up sitting at the Aria for 8 hours or so, winning 5 hands (he kept track), and losing some more clams. If you want to read the blow-by-blow, follow the Twitter account, cause he was so bored & frustrated, he began tweeting…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 10
Tuesday, the slowest day on the strip and in the poker rooms. There was no hurry to get out and get going because there were no games, except a few outlying places like South Point and the dreaded Orleans. Not in the mood to saddle up the horse, he just wandered over to the Aria…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 8
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 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 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…
F & O Play at Aria and More…
Okay, so it went like this: On the morning of day 2 of the Vegas portion of the trip, despite very much enjoying the hotel, the poker, and the weather, Flynn began to wonder. Wonder about all sorts of stuff, but mostly about how prudent was it really to stay in town for a week?…
When a Good Fish Goes Bad
Part 1 ~ The story: Flynn had the rare opportunity to benefit from the really bad, really drunk, heavily bankrolled fish at the Aria the other night. It was truly a dream situation. Off the bat DrunkFish is aggro. No one knows him, he is a tourist, big guy, mid aged, Native American we thinks.…
More LV Poker Room Reviews & Trip Reports
Bellagio Poker: Both Flynn and Ollie decided to swing by the Bellagio room to see how the 1/3 games were looking. The appearance was about the same as the playing experience ~ discombobulated. The Bellagio was in the midst of replacing the carpet (not downsizing), so they had ¾ of the room shoved to ¼…
