Vegas Day 12

Monday 5th February.

Last full day so decided to take a look at the Casino's I hadn't taken a look at yet. Therefore took a look around the Las Vegas Hilton, then visited Mirage and the Wynn. Impressed with the Wynn and it had a very nice poker room, lots of middle age women dripping with gold playing Limit Holdem. If i'd have seen this earlier in the week I would have had a play here.
Ended up back at the Luxor and played $1/2 NL holdem as they were playing the high hand bonus. Finished $80 up and had no decent bonus hands. Took my profit and went to Luxor's Steakhouse, bit pricier than I expected but was a lovely meal. Had Lobster and Cran Bisque followed my a huge Fillet Mignon washed down with a couple of glasses of champagne.
Went back and packed suitcase and then decided to have a go on the Casino tables.
Played a game called bonus poker but it only gave you two to one for your money, only way of winning on this is doing a hit and run, therefore went for it on one hand $75 blind, looked at my cards AQ offsuit, nice starting hand however no match for the dealers 28 offsuit. Was going to have a go at Roulette but decided to give up and go to bed. Found there was a high hand in the morning but you had to be there by 06.00am. Asked for a wake up call at 05.30 but after three hours sleep didn't fancy getting up. Forced myself to the poker room and got the last seat in a $2/4 Limit game, got to the top of the leaderboard with AAAJJ and managed to stay there til 09.00 when it finished so picked up the $500 bonus on the last day. Nice way to bring an end to my Vegas experience.
