So yesterday.

We was up around 11am and deciding what to do was tough. We have a number of things we want to do in Vegas, such as, shooting, go karting and grand canyon etc. I found the karting website and we decided to go there, so we jumped in a cab and went to the karting place (google pole position raceway vegas). It was just opposite the Palms and when we got there we could see we was going to have fun.

It was all indoor and sounded good when we walked in. The karts looked cool and were electric, but zoomed around the track faster than you need! We had 3 races and it was a great laugh, the no bumping rules obviously were not followed and in the first race Shieldsy came off with the hump because I bumped him trying to get through. In the next Noly did the dirty and actually spun me on the hairpin bend, and later in that race Rosy tried the same but I somehow managed to hold him off 3 times. You get to choose your own racing name to go up on the bigscreen and whilst me Noly and Rosy just chose the obvious, Shieldsy wanted to be know as the SpeedScrote!

The way they do the results is just the fastest lap time over your 12 laps per race. So it really doesn't matter if you don't overtake anyway. The results were :

1st race

1st Rosy     Best : 25.72    Avg : 26.65
2nd Noly     Best : 26.31    Avg : 26.90
3rd Rookie   Best : 26.41    Avg : 27.41
4th Shieldsy Best : 26.66   Avg : 28.65

2nd race

1st Noly      Best : 25.09   Avg : 26.23
2nd Shieldsy    Best : 25.78 Avg : 27.40
3rd Rookie   Best : 26.12    Avg : 27.04
4th Rosy     Best : 26.62    Avg : 27.24


3rd race

1st Noly         Best : 24.64     Avg : 25.32
2nd Rosy        Best : 25.03     Avg : 26.17
3rd Rookie      Best : 25.24     Avg : 25.72
4th Shieldsy    Best : 25.94    Avg : 26.88



Noly's last time was pretty awesome and it put him 5th in the best times of that week.

Once we finished the karting we decided to have a game of billiards in the arcade they had there. We then moved onto the other games, such as the basketball one that you see in most arcades and then we saw the American Football one. The object was to throw the mini balls into the holes, but we decided to make our own little games up and ran a few plays. They are tough to describe, so we got some videos to help you feel like you were there..........

So once we had finished pissing about with the footballs we jumped in a cab and headed back to the strip and went to visit Luxor for the first time. We wandered round and found their poker room and asked if there were any seats and they was just about to open a $1/$2 table. So we all jumped on there, just for a bit of fun and to kill a few hours. We all sat with $200 and had a laugh. The best thing about it is that the drinks are free whilst playing, all you have to do is give like a $1 tip for every Vodka Redbull you have etc.

Obviously we all got a little drunk whilst playing, and I ran pretty good. I staked Shieldsy in the game but he never had no luck when he ran flush into flush and then lost his remainder with AK v 9T. Rosy was the next to be stacked soon after, he made a good call on the turn of a K T 3 3 board with KJ and lost to his opponents flush draw which got there. He decided to go for a wander and when he returned he was happily showing off his shoes which he had just got shined! Next to follow was Noly, who lost his chips to me on a 3 6 7 board my 67 beating his JJ.

I won a number of pot's off one guy though, completely owning him, and then a big one occured where he wanted to stack off with K8 on a 4 6 6 8 board. He raised pre and my 56 was good enough to call with, he then bet flop and I flat it once more, he bet $50 on the turn and I was having a think when he says.. "I'll show you if you pass". My eyes must have turned into $ signs then because its just so obvious he has a hand he is happy with. I made it $75 more and he snaps it and then when he checks the J river to me I put him in for his other $180 and he calls again. He is pictured below.

I came off the table with $1120 and got the odd $20 up to $100 on craps so I cashed in $1200. A nice $800 profit after my and Shieldsys buyin. We left the Luxor and wandered outside to jump in a cab, and get a bite to eat at the Riviera.
