ok poker fans, we last left off with an $80 win at
penn national and 24 hours later united flight 1529 is landing in
las vegas where we'll kick off our 2017 poker vacation!!
we'll be staying eleven nights at
bally's on this trip before flying back to dulles and wrapping things up at historic
Charles town.
in addition to poker caesars entertainment has challenged us to earn 5400 (much needed) tier credits by playing slots and table games at all nine of their vegas properties. this program is called
vegas quest for rewards and special "badges" can be earned by playing 25 tier credits on slots and or tables at a casino in a single gaming day.
we land about 9:00 and things go wrong almost immediately as before I know it my cab is out on the freeway.
yes, I've been what's called LONG HAULED.
keep the 86 cents jerkoff.
inside the hotel I check-in to yet another nice room at bally's and head downstairs to start out on our quest for rewards. I begin with blackjack where I get down almost $250 before rallying all the way back for a $56 win!!
i check my player's card in a slot machine and find I've earned a whopping 228 tier credits..... far exceeding the 25 needed to earn my bally's table badge.
over on the slots though things don't go my way at a three reel "cash wheel" machine. i drop $47 in 25 tier credits of play which will earn me my bally's slots badge and bally's property badge; which is an extra 200 tier credit badge when a player gets both the table and slots badge for a particular property.
no poker tonight. instead i go out on the strip to walk around and take in the lights and exciting atmosphere.
great to be back in las vegas!!
quest +9 (+9)
