So as we were driving along Fort Apache Rd i spotted a sign for a ReMax Realtors. This is the company that sold my parents house in New York and my mum had always spoken highly of the service they provided and the way they conducted business. Realtors are the american equivolent of estate agents but thats as close as the similarities go.
We walk into the reception and we tell the receptionist what it is that we are looking to do. He takes us through to the conference room and gets us both drinks while he arranges for an agent to come and see us. We really fell on our feet walking into this place. A lovely lady called Christina came in to see us a former commercial pilot from San Francisco. This lady knows everything about Vegas and the housing market, every area like the back of her hand. We talk for about 30 mins about what we are looking for then she starts showing us houses on the giant plasma screen on the wall. She searches through the database putting in every criteria that we are looking for then printing out the details of any possibles that we might want to go and see. Her business partner comes in and joins us and as its getting late we agree to leave it for today but we will be back the following day at 10am to start looking.
We go out to dinner and discuss the day, having seen a few areas of vegas and look over the houses on the database we had a much clearer idea of what we were looking for. Im in bed by 10pm again still amazes me never had a vegas trip quite like this before so much for the ciy that never sleeps.
Tuesday morning and im up at 6am again. People who have only ever been to Vegas during the summer will be shocked by just how cold it was when I walked out of the casino and down the strip. There was a sharp wind and a temp of 1 degree. I regretted my decision to use the bridge to cross the road rather than walking down to the traffic lights. So Tuesday morning at 6am and there is no 2-5 nlh game for me in the Venetian so i move onto the Mirage again no game. I move on again next door to CeasersPalace no game so i decide to try the Bellagio. I have never been a fan of the place but there is always a game running there its just a matter of gettigna sit in a game.
I enter the Bellagio cardroom and i have never seen it so empty there were only 2 games running in the whole room. The place is always full and was quite a shock to the system to see so many empty tables. I walk over to the brush ( a cardroom member of staff who controls the seating in cash games). Both games were full a 2-5 nlh game and a 15-30 limit game. Im not a fan of limit but without much choice i put my name on both lists. The seat in the 15-30 game comes up first so i take it. I sit down with $500 this was prob an average stack for the table I look around the table a couple of old timers a couple of locals ok stay away from them then I notice the 2 players on my right. As i say im not a limit player but these guys were clueless on how to bet. The amount of times the dealer had to tell them both how much they could bet had gone beyond funny for the dealer. I decided to target the two of them play tight against the other players on the table just try to learn as much as possible in my first time in a limit game and hit and run as soon as I could. After about 30 mins im $640 up and i have cashed in and im out the door. I zip up my jacket and commence my walk back to the TI.
