So I guess you have to drop twenty grrrr (20K) or more for the Palazzo to call you up with a free 4 night stay with show tickets and $200 gaming credits. I didn't drop the twenty grrr but my buddy did last year when he went with his girl....and so our other friend and I went with him to enjoy the weekend. We used three of the four nights.
End up playing $1-2 at Venetian the first night and was up $30 bucks or so after an hour. I was tired and the table was tight so I went to bed.
Next morning I wanted to make the Monte Carlo early morning tourney...walked the strip and ended up playing MGM $1-2 NLHE cash game. I bought short just because I didn't feel like paying the $5 ATM fee....that was a huuge mistake because I missed out on a GIGANTIC pot (over $500). I didn’t call a pre-flop raise with 4-4 when I was getting a good price. I would've definitley called if I bought in with a $200 stack. Ended up running my short buy into the ground and was pissed because I really wanted to play in a $3-6 HORSE rotation game they had just started.

Went to eat at the ESPN zone and played the next session at Venetian and dominated. It was a brand new game consisting of some Deepstack Donkament bust outs that were terrible. Some dude was complaining about his A-A which got busted by J-10. I wanted to choke that fewl and say, "it's a donkament!!!" You have to be a donk to win.
I took a hit early in the session when I went head up with one of the locals. He flopped top two and I had TPTK. He elected to exercise pot control
(gave me some respect I guess) as I kept firing away and finally shut it down on the river. He surprisingly checked. I guess he thought I had a set. My big hand was when I scored by hitting nut flush on the river. I was all in on the turn and the pot was three way. Thank god the spade came, but I had outs with 2 overs and a gut shot. ***Literally as I was raking in the pot of about $350, my buddy texts me and says he hit the jackpot at Palazzo. I call for a rack and get the F&*K outta there.
5 grr was the jackpot. My buddy that hit it was playing the $200 gaming credit and had run it down to $9 when he hit. He felt obligated to give some $$ to my other buddy since he was the one that got the complimentary suite, show tickets, gaming credits. To my surprise they DIDN'T do a 50/50. My buddy that hit the jackpot kept 3 grr and gave 2 grr to Mr. Comp. I still can't believe that.

I headed to Venetian again to play $1-2 NLHE. I made a huuuge lay down early with TPTK. Guy showed one card (top pair)...he said he had two pair on the flop which I sort of believe, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had A-J as well. Stayed focused after that and scored a decent pot against a local by slow playing A-K pre-flop when I had TPTK, on flop, and on turn, and then firing out fast on the river when a K fell. He paid me off. Then picked up back to back Aces and dominated with them. I left after about an hour with a full rack!!!

My last session at Venetian is when I lost my $180 buy in. I played bad, was tired, and should've left but was stubborn. And then I got felted.

My last two sessions were at Planet Hollywood. Boy do I love this place. I min raise UTG with 4-5 of clubs and get all kinds of callers. Flop comes 3-6-8 rainbow. A bet of $15 was made by opponent and a call by another opponent was made. I was thinking of shoving and trying to win pot right there, but I figured I would let a card come off so I flat call. Turn was a 2 giving me the straight. Guy bets $30...I think for 5 seconds and say All-In. Guy insta calls. I say, "straight," and turn my holdings over. He says, "ewww" and mucks. He said he had top pair?
???wtf
I play my button and then rack up my chips as my table at PF Changs was ready. It looked real bad, but I really did have to go eat.

Last session at PH I made $80. I got lucky that my opponent had Q-Q when I held KK. I missed a river bet when she checked but I didn’t want her moving in on me with a pair showing on board so I elected to do the safe thing and check. Table broke up due to tourney so I headed to the Wynn to buy some gifts and enjoy the buffet. This was the best part of the trip. I've had all the badass meals in Vegas...Daniel Bouloud, Bobby Flay, Wynn room service, and other places but the Wynn Buffet was The Shit!!!!
I finished up $455 from poker and had a full belly and some great gifts for friends/family. I Hopped back on the plane and headed back to TX. Gotta love direct flights! Good luck to all when venture out to LV.
