Rolled in last night a little after midnight. I was exhausted but wanted to play a little bit so I headed down and scouted out the UX machines. Found some good multipliers left on a bar top at the .5 level so I dropped a $20 in. A while later and more beers than I can recall I cashed out $50.

I took the $30 I was up to the craps table just to test the waters. Two rolls later the $30 is gone and I'm wondering on. Tried another UX machine and lost $20. Located another .5 UX bar top with multipliers left. Dropped $5 in and made a small hit. Cashed out $10 after playing for a few. Took the $10 to a slot machine that I hit last trip and played it through. Called it a night at $25 down.

Now I'm awake with a huge headache wondering if another beer at 10 in the morning will help???

I would recommend the beer @ 10:00 AM ( if I drank beer )
It would prolly help a little, but it is a two sided coin.
If you follow it with another couple dozen, you may be worse shape tomorrow morning ;-)

I really hope you're playing the full 5 coin when vulturing. I seriously get irritated when I see that someone vultured quarters or higher with 1 coin (or really anything less than 5 coins). It's very plus EV so you should always play it at 5 coins.

Hope the trip gets positive today!! Keep the updates coming =).

Yes always five coin. I'd love to hit a royal while vulturing!! I got in to big of a hurry last night and didn't change from 10 coin to 5. I hit a couple of hands for multipliers so I had to "vulture" my own game lol. I changed to 5 coin played the multipliers and ran.

That definitely happens from time to time =P. Accidentally hit max bet because that's what I'm used to hitting on VP plays... Always just shrug and figure it's another round of vulturing!

I did this recently on a $1 spin poker machine. I'm not a big fan of spin poker, but this was the only machine with a decent DW44 paytable at the $1 level. So I was just playing the 1 line.

Mrs. Joeman calls, and while I'm talking to her, accidentally hit Max Bet -- 9 lines x $5! D'oh! Cards came up total garbage. :-P

On the bright side, at least it wasn't a 100-play machine!

I bought in for $100 at Bac. Played a couple hours and cashed out 101.75. Lost another $20 in a slot machine so I'm down $45.00 for the trip. I was up at $50 at one point playing Bac but things turned as they typically do lol.

I'm thinking about playing some BJ. I'm just not feeling it this trip. Came to the room for a little rest and to check my phone. Fixing to head back down and see what else I can get into.

When I'm down on a Vegas trip I just down more liquor to get me back to even. I feel like $100 worth of free liquor covers $45 of losses, so drink up!

Lost another $25 at craps. They are currently running a show here at GS. I had comped tickets. Great floor seats five rows back. Good show. I took some pictures I may post later if I can figure out how to again. Fixing to eat a comped buffet then one more craps table run for my 100 to 1000 quest.

Headed to the cramp table. Going to play big and try to hit a lucky streak. 100 to 1000 here I come. I'll update when I'm finished. Hopefully it will be a while before I get to post again.

I did the same thing on a 50 line .25. I was playing 5 lines and accidentally hit max. Got dealt garbage but got enough trips and 2 pair to make it nto too horrible.

Well the 100 to 1000 challenge got whipped out!! I've played for about three hours though but never got above $150. No matter how hard I try I just can't make myself put the big bets out there. Hard ways where hitting all night. One guy was playing 50 on each hardway and got several hits. I guess I'm destined to low roll. Good news is after all that time I still have my $100 to try again lol.

Pls,
Give me the $100 and I will tell you about how much fun you missed out on whilst trying for $1000.
I will be honest.
If I win the $1000 it's yours.
If I lose the $100..... Well that was yours too. ;-)
