- Although we stayed at The Venetian, we also got a room at Harrah's. Here's why: When we were first planning the trip, Mike got an offer in the mail from The Venetian offering him a free room for two nights, $100 worth of food, and $500 in match play chips. So he went ahead and made the reservations. Then a little while later, he got an offer from Harrah's for a free room and a $750 gift certificate to Nordstrom! So, he made those reservations as well. (We used the room at Harrah's for toilet needs.)
- We had a huge session of craps that first night. I was up around $1,100, Mike around $2,000. It would turn out to be the only winning session of the trip, and we both ended up losing.
- When Mike cashed out after a craps session at Harrah's, the cashier inadvertently gave him $500 too much.
- During a hand of Texas Hold 'em Bonus Poker at The Venetian, Mike forgot to put money on the bonus bet. It was the first time he'd forgotten while playing at that table. He realized it after the cards had been dealt, and although he hadn't look at his cards, the dealer would not allow him to make the bet. Mike picked up his cards and looked down at ace-king suited. It would have paid 30 to 1, and Mike had been putting $10 down on the bonus bet on previous hands.
