Vegas Vacation with AOS
Alot of places in town tell the girls that if they hook on the side they will lost their job. Mermaids is one of the few places in town that is well known as meaning it.Quote: djatcYou must be very friendly, Mermaids girls never talk to me, much less ask me if I want beads.

Quote: TomspurEnough about the gambling. Have you tried slotzilla yet? How is the food downtown or have you not eaten yet? Lol.
1--what is slotzilla?
2--I've eaten a few protein bars and energy drinks
No appetite when I'm losing

Slotzilla is the zip line down the fremont canopy. I hear it is a blast, not sure if it is what you like or not.
I understand about the appetite but a man cannot function properly on just protein bars and energy drinks.......:)
I had split 3 3
Got 7 doubled for 18
Second three got 10 for 13
If he hits the 12 dealer breaks
I say yes
No hit 12 guy says NEVER
third guy listens to "no hit 12 guy"
We all would've won if he had played it right
I left the table I couldn't deal with it
That guys ridiculous play and horrific advice annoyed me too much
Cost me 1k swing
(And yes I know over one billion hands it's meaningless I am venting though)
Trip now -3k
Quote: aceofspadesI don't think women in Vegas, who are not looking to get paid, are that forward -- especially towards me
I tend to disagree.
I would say that I was hit on pretty aggressively on one occasion, and semi-aggressively on one occasion.
The person who hit on me aggressively (verbally speaking) was a very attractive African-American woman about my age, great smile, who I saw on the Deuce bus with her friends going Downtown. They were visitors, I could tell, because they didn't know how to get anywhere. The bus was packed, so I was helping people find all of their stops, she called me a, "Sexy tour guide." I don't know why. I wasn't even wearing a button-up, just a T-Shirt and Khaki shorts. Anyway, she went into having never been married and said we could have a, "Vegas-style wedding, get an annulment tomorrow, but enjoy the benefits of being a married couple until then."
The person who hit on me semi-aggressively was the morning I was leaving at the bar at Four Queens, she was Puerto Rican, though she probably had about five-seven years on me. She was attractive enough, though, I suppose. She kept complimenting my smile. In fairness, she was pretty soused.
If I were not still legally married, I might have engaged the African-American woman in sexual congress. She was pretty attractive.
Anyway, you're probably a better looking guy than I am according to most people, are definitely built better, and doubtlessly dress better...so if women find themselves interested in me out there, on occasion, why not in you?
Quote: djatcYou must be very friendly, Mermaids girls never talk to me, much less ask me if I want beads.
They talk to me all the time, always asking me to take some beads and put a dollar in the, 'tip jar,' by which, they mean their cleavage.

I just don't buy it that women in Vegas hit on men without an ulterior motive...at least not when it comes to me (but your story does indeed sound legit)

She asked if she could touch my chest so I. Told her she could for $1 and laughed
The look on her face of surprise was priceless

I tend to completely agree with you and it is true that there are many women out there who are in Vegas to have a good time. Some gamble, some eat, some go to clubs and some are there to have sex with strangers. It is Vegas after all. It DOES happen.
i do have a concern about how sterile your explanation is of what you would like to do with the African-American lady :). Why not say, I would have had sex with her had I not still been legally married :)
You are clearly a very proper young man but sometimes, just sometimes the nice guys finish last!!! Get out there and have some fun young Mission :)

I concur although I will not allow myself any other fun (of any kind) until I am back to even...it is my own self-imposed punishment

You already are even, Ace. It's an arbitrary distinction to measure your results from the start of the trip. If you measure them from right this moment, you are even.

So then nobody ever has a winning or losing session as whatever amount of money they have can always be deemed "even"
Quote: aceofspadesSo then nobody ever has a winning or losing session as whatever amount of money they have is always even
That's a very healthy way of looking at gambling. Always evaluate the next bet without regard to your "session result."
Quote: Mike Caro
You should never stay in a game hoping to get even, because you already are even. Your bankroll is always as large as it is when the cards are shuffled.
This attitude will save you the fate of many poker players who destroy their bankrolls chasing an elusive and meaningless goal. You don’t need to book a win tonight. You just need to make your best decisions time after time. That’s where the money is.
Whether you win or lose for a particular session should not be important to you. In the long run, you will earn or lose money in accordance with the quality of your decisions. Nothing more, nothing less. And you are always exactly even when then next hand begins.

Life is your session, I believe you're still ahead, are you not?

I would think so, pretty funny!

In fairness, we wouldn't have been strangers, she'd have been my wife, albeit temporarily.

Thank you for the compliment, but I'm thirty, so I'm not young at all. Besides, I'm still not entirely sure that I would have so engaged, there's a thought process and a bit of a subjective equation:
Level of Attractiveness/5 > Concern About STD's = Go Ahead
It was pretty close, she was dressed properly, given the weather, so I don't think she was particularly lascivious, generally speaking. I think she just found me very attractive, for whatever reason.

Imagine if everyone found exactly the same thing attractive.....:)
Same things with dogs. Some women like purebreds, some prefer mutts.
Got another 75bucks lol

Does probability of STDs correlate to whether they are dressed lasciviously?
Quote: aceofspadesDoes probability of STDs correlate to whether they are dressed lasciviously?
Sometimes, depending on the context.
Dealer went 6, 10...5
I then lost the next 7 hands
After all was said and done through 3 shuffles...I had regained another 550
Trip is -2450
Quote: CroupierStay strong Ace, one good shoe is all you need.
Thanks I'm taking a little break then will get even tonight
Quote: Dicenor33It's nice in AC right now. Weather is warm and many vacationers stay at the beach. It might be the reason why casinos don't make any money. It's too painful to think of someone sitting inside the smoke filled room, and playing games with the no chance of winning. Go outside Ace, the world will be the same regardless of your wins and loses. It will be the same after all of us gone, cherish the moment, blackjack can wait.
My ego is too big lol
I just toured Fremont street
There is some punk rock festival in town so the people watching is exceptional
I told him it is a composition dependent hit
He said he was barred from the El Cortez 10 years ago and he knows all there is to know about blackjack and card counting as his doctoral thesis was on the mathematics of card counting
He then said the Wizard of Odds agrees with him
I told him to have a good night
Trip is now -2k
Trip is -1500
Quote: aceofspadesJust picked up another 500 followed by a "disagreement" with a pit boss who informed me I should not have hit my 10,2 v 4
I told him it is a composition dependent hit
Ace, what are you doing? Just tell the Pit Boss you felt lucky. Always let them think they are right.
Got 14 15 16
Dealer has 3 5 3 3 3
Then lost 4 doubles

Quote: tringlomaneWhat's your base unit again. ace?
100
Trip is once again -1500
Quote: djatcBTW ace how much do you think you've lost/gained with H17?
Hurt a couple of times but other than that barely noticeable
Played a couple of shuffles picked up another 800
Trip is -700
Quote: djatcBTW ace how much do you think you've lost/gained with H17?
H17 adds 0.22% to the house edge. That's an extra 22 cents lost for every $100 bet. The 0.22% decreases as the count rises so when you have the big money out you will lose less than that. Clearly H17 is the least of the problems here.
If Golden Nugget must be played, Speed Count may be more suited to the 0.48% house edge six deck game rather than the double deck. Aces may be re split on that one making the house edge very close to the double deck. Does anyone know the penetration on these games?
It ever occur to you that you would have less to vent about if you didn't play with ploppies? Get thee to a high roller room's tables: best rules, best dealers.... best players. Best protein bars and Evening Drinks too.Quote: aceofspadesI am venting though)
Quote: FleaStiffIt ever occur to you that you would have less to vent about if you didn't play with ploppies? Get thee to a high roller room's tables: best rules, best dealers.... best players. Best protein bars and Evening Drinks too.
This was the high limit room
This guy was seen later pissing off the entire high limit pit when his poppy mistakes cost him and he took it out on the dealer...not classy
Okay,,,, Fleastiff hereby amends his advice to read: Get thee to a classy high roller room. No ploppies, no drunks, protein bars, Evening Drinks and Evening Gowns half on and half off the ladies. Why play at the level of the Hell Cortez with drunks and felons?Quote: aceofspadesThis was the high limit room
