played from 730pm to 1100pm. Hit traffic at the spaghetti bowl coming in and took an hour to get playing. Not a fan of the country bar by the lion cage but I hear that isnt the long term fix. Location sucks, its loud, but the play is poor so it's worth it to me. 3 locals 6 tourists rotating through overplaying top pairs and failing to defend their good hands a ripe for the pickings crowd. 1 want to be hot shot hit hte table ear buds in and hat on firing $15 raises pre flop every other hand at a 1/2 NL game. Worked a couple times but then the tourists started calling him and he couldnt get them out of hands he had to show a couple marginal hands then the 2 or 3 real players at the table ate him up. Hopefully the new location is up to snuff. All in all the strip on the weekend is far better for winning than Santa Fe or Red Rock which are closer to my house. Walked out up 500, couldn't take the cowboy bar music any more. Gonna buy some headphones, hate being that guy.

    I am guessing he report took place no later this past weekend. The rodeo ended on the weekend. Vegas is slow right now.

  2. Lion cage, country bar...leads me to believe it was the MGM.
