- Once again, this was a "Room at Venetian/Room at Harrah's" combo trip. Mike got a $200 slot credit for his reservation at Venetian and a $750 gift card for Dillard's at Harrah's.
- I was even able to take advantage of a $25 slot credit offer I had received for the Venetian. The offer indicated that I had to be a registered guest at the hotel, but the woman at the players club desk made a phone call and was able to approve the offer because Mike had listed me as an occupant of the room on his reservation.
- I cashed out for $41.50 on my free slot play; Mike cashed out for $106.25.
- At Flamingo, we were able to play craps and watch the go-go dancers in a special party gaming area.
- While playing craps at Encore, the dealer accidentally paid me $50 on my $10 pass line bet. The mistake probably occurred because Mike was betting $50 on the line. Still, we were the only two players at the table with a full crew working. I waited a bit before picking up the payoff, figuring someone would catch it. No one did.
- During that same craps session, two very drunk, very skanky women stepped up to the table next to Mike. It was around 9:00 in the morning, and they said they'd been up all night. They reeked, they were vulgar, they were loud, and they were annoying. But the dice were hot, so we put up with them for a while. Once the table cooled, we got out of there as fast as we could.
- Friday night we ate dinner at Carnevino, Mario Batali's Italian steakhouse at Palazzo. Mike and I split a porterhouse steak called "La Fiorentina." It was the best steak I've ever had. It better have been. Price tag: $140.
- Gambling-wise, the trip was one of my best. I didn't post my biggest win, but with only a few exceptions, all craps sessions were winners.
- The only craps hand that even came close to being a monster was one of our last at Caesars Palace. A shooter rolled a bunch of 4s and 10s, followed by a bunch of 6s and 8s. I made about $800 on him, playing pretty conservatively.
