My wifes seminar was at the Tuscany so we decided we didn't want to take a cab a few times a day and stayed there on Fri and Sat. Don't stay at Tuscany it smelled sooooooo bad and was very over priced.

DAY ONE
About 2am I couldn't sleep so I went down and put my name on the 1/2 NL game. I watched the game, it was a loose loose, crazy game.

While I was waiting I saw a professor from UNLV call 200 cold pre flop with 9c7c and ended up knocking the other guy out that had KK when he flopped a trips and then filled up on the river.

Anyway, I was tired but having fun. It was a wild game with surprisingly alot of cash on the table. One of the dealers rotated in and he was very good with a deck of cards. He was also very flashy. When he got a tip he would tap his chip on the table and then throw it up onto his shoulder and let it slide down into his pocket.

One hand two players did a showdown with both black aces. When the other player tipped the guy threw it up on his shoulder and let it slide down. With his other hand he flipped the two aces together and flicked them back into his chip tray seperate from the other cards. He then brought the deck close to the aces and shuffled, spread the deck out a bit so it was messy and then grabbed the aces, spread them out two and slid them onto the bottom of the deck with cards inbetween them. At this point I was staring at the deck watching..watching and he started to cut the deck many times. I lost what was going on and couldn't follow anything else.
The next hand a regular there got those two black aces. Now, I played a few more hands and then left. I didn't say anything because I don't want to accuse anyone of something that they didn't do and because I couldn't follow what the guy was doing. I was suspicious enough that I would have liked to stand there and watch more but I was to tired. All in all I won't play there again. I also don't want to accuse anyone of anything and ruin some guys job/image if I wasn't positive. Would you guys have done anything different?

DAY TWO: CEASERS PALACE
Played here for about 12 hours. Was down just a bit. It was a good game, not crazy and not too tight. Had fun, I didn't realize there was no max on the 2/5 game until some guy sat down with 500 in chips and 7k behind in bills.

DAY THREE: MANDALAY BAY - BEST STORY
Got there about 8:30 and there was a full table, within 30 min there was only 3 of us on the 2/4 table. A drunk guy that had been up all night came over to make 4. He was showing his bluffs and going all in every 3 hands. I was waiting when him and another fella got into a huge pot. There was about 500 in the pot and the drunk guy had another 1000 in front while the other guy had about 350 left. The river hits and the drunk guy goes all in. The other fella hems and haws for a while and then turns his hole cards over showing a weak ace that was paired with another ace on the board. He tells the drunk guy while considering, "Ya know, I really feel like this is the best hand." The drunk guy laughs and says, "Well, you were right my friend" and turns over his 34o. The guy with the aces sits there a second, looks at his cards then looks at the other guys cards and says, "Okay, then I CALL" - The drunk guy was stunned, the dealer counts out his chips and tells the drunk guy he owes another 350 and pushes the 850 toward the non drunk fella.
At this point the drunk guy got so mad and beligerent they had to call 4 security guards to take him out. I was pleading with the guy to relax and just play poker it was a mistake and we just want to play. (Only because I was sure he would be broke in 30 min) No dice, they had to haul him away because he was swearing at the guy, saying he had no honor he shouldn't accept that pot, it was a mistake he won....etc...

DAY THREE: MANDALAY BAY
Played for a few hours while waiting for my plane. I was up for the trip and on my very last hand I flopped a King high flush ended up in the pot with all my chips and two others. One fella had the ACE high flush and I lost one buy in for the trip.


Summary:
I can't wait to go back. Mandalay Bay rooms were awesome, Mandalay poker was good. Tuscany poker = bad. Tuscany rooms = very bad.
Ceasers poker = good.

I'll play venetian and mgm grand next time.

Thanks everyone.
