The next afternoon we headed to the Mirage for pre-show dinner and came upon a $10 table. Still above my method bankroll I again put the other two days allocation together and ran a few minutes, again with my trusty companion, OldFart, standing by. After a steady grind downwards I found the secret. OldFart left to catch up with the group in the restaurant.DO NOT let OF or Lilith near you when gambling!!! I walked away with $70sum of my stash in 10 minutes.

After witnessing the mind blowing show, "Love", we returned for drinks and a long chat session (it's what we do best ) in the opulent lobby of the Trump. As the night wore on the kibitzing and other activities of the day took their toll by midnight, so I left for Circus-Circus where Aqua and I were staying. The driver left me off at a different door and low-and-behold, ……..my path took me through the pits where there were $5 min tables. I had the remnants of my gambling money and could run a few cycles my way. After an hour and a half I had $17 more than I came to town with and knew this was not going to gold strike visit, so I packed it in after the few short skirmishes and something better than a loss for my renewed contact with Vegas.
