After returning from Australia I had to go to Las Vegas for a soccer tournament. There was no time to recover from jetlag and these weekends tend to involve a lot of drinking and not much sleep. This means my decision to stay an extra day or two to play some poker was probably not the smartest but I wanted to experience the Las Vegas card rooms.
I played in the Tropicana, the MGM, the Bellagio and the Mirage. On my last visit to Las Vegas I had played in the Luxor and the Venetian so I figured I was getting a good rounded experience. The Bellagio is like the gold standard for poker rooms according to all the reviews I read and I enjoyed playing there. I did not win any tournaments and the furthest I got was 2 players outside the bubble at the Mirage. I also played some 4-8 limit games at Bellagio where I held my own for an hour or so before eventually losing about $60.
I love going to Vegas but I have what professional poker players call a leak. I like to play CRAPS and I almost always lose money on the CRAPS table. Its something I'm going to have to think about as I continue my poker journey. If I am serious about poker I will be visiting many casinos and cannot afford to throw away my limited bankroll playing other games.
