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 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 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 New Poker – Yay or Nay?
Las Vegas finally hit the target date: June 4th. 3 or 4 poker rooms in Las Vegas have opened. Yipee, we are back! Just kidding! We are not back. There are two types of players going to live games right now: short-handed specialists and the local grinders. Flynn and Ollie are not back. Flynn 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?…
Suprise! F&O back in Vegas
Flynn and Ollie have spent the past 10 days in the sunny state of Florida. They had a fabulous time, and if the editors of the Chronicle ever got their act together, they may finish the travel articles about it. But, now for the important stuff: Las Vegas: poker updates and so forth. Prior to…
