Recon Mission part 4

So we spent the next 2 days being driven around Summerlin the area of Vegas that we had decided upon. Kim took us to lunch picked up the tab for two days and must of shown us 30+ houses. The level of service was just amazing there is no way any estate agent in the UK could of been as good to us as what Kim was. At the start of the day we found a near perfect house for us to rent in what we were looking for.(pictured) 12 miles from the strip in a beautiful part of time. The house is fully furnished 4 bed 2100 sq feet. Its costing me $2100 p/m inc utilities. I find this to be an amazing price and i should have no problem making this per month in the cash games. So the next problem was to get the lease signed in time before we left we only had a few days left to get approved and pay the deposit before we had to get on the flight back. Being from the UK they couldnt do a credit check on us so it was a bit of a struggle to prove funds, but after a bit of running around and going back and forth we got it all down by the Saturday morning. Only 48 hours before we flew home. It was a great relief to have the house sorted we start renting from Feb 4th even though we dont arrive back out in Vegas until 13th Feb. We pick the keys up in the afternoon of the 13th our flights due to land at about 2pm. So a quick trip to the supermarket that night and we will be good to go for the next few months.

That night quite excited by all that we had done through the day we went out to see the Blue Man Group at the Venetian. We had seen it before on a previous tripand Nancy and I are big fans. This is a show that I highly recommend to anyone if they are planning to see a show while in Vegas.

Also in the last few days of the trip we got bank accounts set up at Bank of America so when my house sale goes through ill be able to wire money over and i can establish a credit history.
Ill be using them for a mortgage when we have found something to buy. My parents have a accounts with them as well so if i need to get my dad to cosign my mortgage as i havent got a credit history in the states it will be easier as we are with the same bank.

Coming though the end of the week i managed to play a few hours here and a few hours there. I played Ceasers and found the game to be very soft. I havent played in this cardroom very often in the past im not sure why but i decided to try it out one morning. There is no cap in the game and there were a few players sitting in the game with around $10k. There was some pretty sick action and 2 guys on the table decided to go off and play each other heads up. The banter went back and forth until they got there own game they had $20k on the table between the 2 of them somehow they keep the blinds at $2-$5. 30 mins into the HU battle and a $6k swing to the younger of the 2 guys, chairs went flying back jackets were flung to the floor and the banter had become threats. Security were on the scene in an instance both players were removed from the room. The table with chairs on the floor and $20k in chips and $100 bills sat empty for about 20 mins before a floor man came over counted both stacks had it checked by a manager and then took all the money away to the cage. Im not sure how much ill play in Ceasers in the future, the action is good and there is plenty of money on offer but it comes at a risk. I think there is equally easy money to obtain in other rooms in Vegas than here. I would be playing here until I have full access to my bankroll. The swings in this room could be huge.

I also played the MGM over the weekend. I hear stories from all over about how good this cardroom is and how bad the players are. I have now logged 5 or 6 sessions in the MGM and havent come out winning once. Im sure this is just a blip and things will be good there in the long run. The room is between the sportsbook and a club/bar. It can get very loud in the room and a lot of the players drink a lot while playing. The tables there very tight and have a marble ring in the table which doesnt leave much space. On the plus side i think they have the best chips in town. I think this will be a room that I will play in over the weekends from time to time a bit of a reserve room for me.

My house is out by the Red Rock Casino I hear that a lot of rich local folk play the room so i plan to make that 1 of my 2 primary rooms to play in. Obviously as time goes on and my knowledge of as a local and a regular in these games. My other primary venue will be the Venetian i love this room and i had 14/15 winning session in this room for the trip. My secondary sites will be the MGM, Ceasers (in time) the Mirage (when they have a game), Palms. The more time i have the more i will venture out to other rooms to check out the action.
