Since this was a week long trip, I am not completely sure of the order of events any more.
All I know for sure is I stayed at Imperial Palace, and didn't sleep much.

Friday May 30th.

First Stop of poker 1/2 NL at Riviera for about 3.5 hours. Room wasn't great, wasn't horrible either. Ran into a few interesting hands and heard about another interesting hand from a neighboring table. I don't recall exactly how much I had in front of me or how long into the play it was, but I haven't been getting crazy (as per usual), and have been getting into a hand with normally the best hand. I pick up JJ, and re-raise an early position raise of about $15-$20 to $50. Original raiser agonizes over my reraise and folds his QQ face up. Sweet! Nothing like being a 4 to 1 dog & winning preflop. Later, I paid for that play when there was a stradle and I have KK and there's a bunch of limpers and I pop it to $30. I get re-raised all in by a guy who just rebought for $60. Folds around to me, and I instantly call, and he asks if I have AA, and I show him KK, and he flops a Q. I hear later that the other two K's are folded, and I'm drawing dead. JJ won from behind, and so did QQ, but in different ways. I end up losing my entire $200 buy in just before it's time for me to go to the next place. Oh yes, the hand from the neighboring table. A guy in the SB folded QQ pre-flop in an UNRAISED pot because he lost with QQ twice the previous night. Are you kidding me? Not spending $1 to not see a flop with a premium hand? What are you playing this game for if you can't handle premium pairs getting cracked? Anyway, off to the next stop.

Next Stop: Sahara for the 7pm $45+$20 rebuy event. This room is exactly how everyone else describes it, I've read it all before, and I can't disagree with anything. Ever said about it. Anyway, there was NOTHING here for me in the way of cards, if I'm remembering correctly, this time I was SO card dead, that even if I folded pre-flop, I still missed the flop. *shrug* Decided after that tournament to take a walk and got down to Harrah's after I walked of my cards. I've always had good luck here, and the dealers are generally pretty fun to deal with.

Harrah's: Bought in for $300 and don't have any memorable hands (at least not right now), but cashed out at 3:30am up $250. I did see someone chase and make a 5 high Straigh flush on the river with 3 diamonds on the board needing the river to hit perfectly. Another guy made his flush on the turn, so this guy was drawing to exactly one out, and hit it for the high hand jackpot. I think that's the only 1 outer I saw hit the entire trip.

Day 1 totals:
Riviera -$200
Sahara -$65
Harrah's +$250
Daily Total: -$15

Sat, May 31: Not as much poker this time. Played the 11am & 7pm Sahara tourneys, lost both at $65 each. There was what turned out to be a snipe hunt along the way. My brother didn't have a watch and his phone wasn't keeping a charge, and can't wear a wrist watch, so we went looking for a digital pocket watch. Sound easy? Try it on the strip sometime. Never saw one in 4-5 hours of searching, finally found something acceptable, and there's the reason I didn't play as much poker as the rest of the days. Oh yes, in the 7pm event I had TT, flopped top set on a T98 board which got me & 2 others all in after the flop, I hit QUADS on the turn and the AJo (WTF?!?) and the AA were gonzo.
I made it to 14th (paid 10), and my buddy made it to 7th.

Day 2 totals:
Sahara -$130
Daily Total: -$130
Running Total: -$145

Sun, June 1

Start the day off at Imperial Palace, play 2/4 limit for about an hour trying to decide what we were going to do for the rest of the day (me, my brother, and my buddy). Nothing terribly interesting in the way of this first session, lost $29. Went to MGM to play for a little bit, and lost $7 in 2 hours before we went to check out the WSOP. The room was nice, but I didn't care for the marble rails, no real interesting hands here, but wasn't there long enough to have any. My companions thought the WSOP was awesome, but didn't need to stick around very long. We left the Rio and hoofed it over to the Orleans to catch comedian Steven Wright, the show was cheap ($33ea), good, and the room was AWESOME. I wish there was that much room on the plane. We were in the very last row, and it was plenty close enough to see everything going on.
Afterwards, we thought we'd walk back and somehow it took us WAY too long to get back to the room, couldn't figure out how to get to where we wanted to go, and ended up getting back to the strip eventually. As we were getting back near the IP, my buddy mentioned that he wanted to check out the mixed game at the IP. I was like... really, he wants to play that game?!? Cool, I wanted to too, but I didn't think he'd be interested (I knew my brother wouldn't be), so I didn't mention it, but he heard about it from the sign on the wall, and I had read about it on this board. So we get on the list, and then we sat down somewhere after 11 and stayed until the game broke up at 7:30am! We set a new record for the IP at this one. I lost a lot of money in the 3/6 exotic mixed games that I didn't understand completely, but had a blast with the "what are the rules again?!?" atmosphere. Then we moved over to 2/4 limit to try to play the AA & KK cracked game. Finished up $25 in that portion of the night/day.
Saw a couple of Quads hit for wheel spins. The few AVPers I met were pretty cool to play with at the mixed games, even though they took my money. :)

Day 3 totals:

Day 4: No Poker, went to watch the Wings lose game 5, and then went to bed early so I could get up in the middle of the night to play poker, got up at 3:30am, and by the time I went out, the usual haunts were dead, Back to bed I went.

Day 5:
Went to IP for Aces & Kings cracked -$47, then over to Bills Gambling Hall for same thing +170. I don't know what happened in the middle of the day here, but then I went to the Sahara for the 7pm & 11pm tourneys -$130. After which I walked back to Harrah's and sat there waiting for a seat for half an hour, at which time I nearly decided to leave, and just then, the greatest seat I've ever sat in opened up. I bought in for $300 and went on a sick card rush where I got AA twice in 3 hands shorthanded, and got paid off on both hands, I was up to nearly $550 when the table broke up, and we went to the last table in the room. This table was pretty profitable too. I sat down, and waited, & waited, and was trying to trap one guy and he kept getting out of my way, and I kept busting people other than the guy I was after in the first place. I even got my money in bad 88 v JJ and broke his buddy when I turned an 8 after a preflop all in on my part. Ended up cashing out for $892 in just 3 hours.

At this last session at Harrah's, I sat with a few of the players from the previous night, and someone I thought I had played with the prior year. I'm in Seat 10, he is in seat 8. In seat 1 is the guy I tried to bust the previous night, and in seat 9 is another guy who had close to $1000 on the table when I left with my $900 the night before. Seat 8 & I have been pretty friendly all night, and I haven't been making any moves or showing anything really stupid, except for when I tried to bust seat 1 because he was short stacked & I gave him NO respect for having a hand, and actually believed my Jc9c might be the best hand (that's how he played the night before). Anyway, I had said a lot about not winning any pots, and then I picked up a huge $3 pot when I raised pre-flop to 15 with something like AhJh, and everyone folded. Seat 8 has been getting NO respect all night for his raises, and stradles when he gets a chance, and does a lot of betting, but is capable of admitting when he's behind. He was quite often raising to $12-15 and getting 4 to 7 callers, and would often call with very questionable holdings and showing down a winner with something like bottom pair, or top pair no kicker. He mentions about 3 mins prior to this hand that one of these times, he's going to get AA, and we're all going to call. Standard play for him comes out where he raises to 15, and everyone folds, and there he shows his AA. We thought that was pretty funny. So later on, I pick up AA UTG, and make it $7 (since $15 from me made everyone go away, and my buddy from the previous night will call with ATC for $7), then I get a re-raise (sweet) from seat 6 who hasn't been there but maybe 45 mins so he hasn't seen me do anything really (I've been that card dead) and he makes it 22, Seats 8 & 9 call, making it now a $76 pot and I've got black rockets! I repop it to $75, Seat one thinks, and folds, Seat 8 thinks and asks me if I have JJ, and calls, seats 8 & 9 fold immediately putting me on AA or KK since I haven't done anything in hours. Flop comes JJ5, and I ask him if he still thinks I have JJ. I push in not wanting to give him to catch a set if he hasn't already gotten there, and he folds AhKh, and I show him my rockets. Seat 9 mentions that he believed his 99 were no good as soon as I repopped it. I little while later, I mention that me & seat 8 have been pretty friendly all night, and we have been pretty much staying out of each other's pots, but this time, he's straddling, I pick up AcTs or AsTc (doesn't matter, I just know they were both black & offsuit). I call his stradle, as do about 4-7 others. It gets back to him, and he repops it to $19, I call as do 2-4 others. Pot is now about $80-$100. Flop comes Jd7d6s. Seat 8 leads out with $45. I've seen this play so many times out of him, I've decided at best he has J8o (just by seeing what he's been showing off, and I might be able to push him off a hand since he's gotten out of my way once). I decide to see if he's really got anything and repop it to $120. Folds back around to Seat 8 and he goes into the tank, but not after immediately asking me how much I have left behind, which turns out to be $205. Of course, if he pushes, I'm mucking as fast as I can, but he thinks about it for about 1 minute or 2, then finally folds, and I get about $150 for a stone cold bluff! Later we discuss the hand. And he says he had QQ. I actually believe that since we were friendly, and since it took him a while to fold the hand. He said if I only had $100 or so left, he'd push, but the extra $100 made it too much. He also said he hadn't seen me do something like that all night, and figured me for having either a set of 6s, 7's or 2pair, definitely not a draw. Another thing that was playing with him was the fact that I just got done saying we've been buddies all night, and now I'm being kind of a jerk. Sweet, I guess it helps being friendly with someone as much as it does being a jerk. :) Turns out he's a local, and I asked him all kinds of things about moving out there. He was pretty cool about me bluffing him off of the hand.

Hopefully that helps someone out. Maybe I'll see some of you at the tables next year.
