Good luck out there Doobs.

I hear that it's a flat rate for taxis to the strip now so long-hauling not really a thing anymore

Ah that makes sense.  I looked up half way there and it said $29, and was thinking it seemed a lot for not far.  It then didn't change and was thinking was it a set rate.  Think it used to be about $20 or $40 if long hauled, so with cost of living $29 isn't bad if only to get rid of the awkward arguments.

Yep, flat rate dependent on zone. I think there are 3 zones, south, mid and north.

Guess 29 is after tax, though might just have misheard? 

Koval and the strip are both snarled up this week, so went to the right on that picture past some stadium. 

In other news there is a great big sphere in the view from my window, which is a new venue at the Venetian.

Don't know what clicked in 8 game, but have cashed 4/8 tournaments since I binked the SCOOP and limit O8 is likely one of my strongest games in that. 

congrats and good luck in vegas.

Guessing the stadium was the Thomas and Mack Center? The MSG sphere is a giant black hole of a money pit from what I hear.

I think there is a fuel surcharge at the moment for the cabs - $2 if my memory is true. Read it on another Vegas forum. Would explain your $29 fare.

GL in the O8 today!

Good luck Doobs win the lot please x

[Doobs]

I wish someone had told me how much fun limit omaha 8 or better is live.   One old bloke is clearly massively tilted each time I win a hand.  Think I am supposed to be playing A2 or something.  Somebody else sat down and tried to pot it.  He has done the same thing about 5 more times ...

Road works on strip are just North of Paris right now, so it is a good trip in from the Wynn.

Also am up, but nobody is massively down.

Ohhh, tempting. They have a a limit 08 at the Aria when I'm there, I think. Might have a go at that, for something different.

Don't think I'll be heading down strip much when I'm staying at Wynn, even on the scooter.

Good luck, mate!

It is ok.  Have added about 50% to my stack.  Worst has probably lost 50%.  Everyone bar tilt man is talking and friendly.  Who wants to play hold em with robots?

Spoke to soon.  Chatty player got moved, pro joined.  Then another pro joined.  Both spent the last half hour bitching at the dealer's speed.  Nobody talking anymore, dealer flustered so went slower.  Now a bit below starting and blinds are much bigger.  Would love to stack them both, but need to run better again.

Made it to the last level of the night then busto in grim circumstances.

Wynn rooms have been refurbed and I think they are nicer now.

[RED-DOG]

Does this remind anyone of a giraffe from the Simpsons?
