Feb 2014 Vegas Trip
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 12:37 pm
Back from my Vegas trip last week. The combination of Valentine's Day last Friday, and President's Day on Monday, in addition to Chinese New Year, made for a busy weekend in Vegas.
My trip got off to a shaky start, with my planned flight connection to Vegas last Wednesday in Atlanta being cancelled due to their ice storm. I re-booked to a flight from Tampa to Minneapolis, then connecting to Vegas, making for a longer day and later arrival.
The weather was beautiful, playing golf on Thursday and Friday in mid-70 degree weather. Cascata and Shadow Creek are always terrific golf experiences. I also had a chance to meet Vman96 at Mirage, there with his girlfriend. I wore my VP.Com hat so he could locate me. (you need to slide the pic to the right to see my friend VMan)

Bellagio did its usual wonderful decorations in their atrium for the season, this one for the Chinese Year of the Horse.
---
---
While in Vegas, I saw The Eagles in concert. Great show, with the group playing 3 HOURS ! They were not allowing any pics, but I snuck this one in without the flash.
---
---
The gaming results were mixed for me this trip. I won money at each table play session that I did, but in spite of some good handpays, lost overall at VP and slot play. Here are some highlights...
Playing on Mirage FreePlay..
---
---
A Caesars Five Star DoublePay, on a redeal even..
---
---
Another Caesars Five Star hit..
---
---
And this one, close to a $64K payoff, missing the dealt RF by one card on the Caesars Five Star DoublePay, but at least drawing the correct card for the RF..
---
---
Played at Bellagio, both DreamCard and Good Times Pay multi-line games...
---
---
---
---

Next trip will be in March to The Beau Rivage in Biloxi for their St Paddys Golf Event, which is always fun...
