Vegas Day 4

Got up and walked over to the Victorian Room at Bill's for breakfast. Food was okay again but service was not good. This we found in about half the places we ate ( more on that later) We decided to head down to the adult pool at the Flamingo. We used it a lot on our last trip. Very relaxing as its not crowded. A lot of the hotels have these so called adult pools now. They charge the guys an entry fee (10 bucks) and ladies are free. Spent a couple hours there reading and working on a tan. As you probably know tops are optional in these pools for the ladies and a great many take advantage of this. I grew up in Vancouver which has a clothing optional beach called Wreck Beach and I spent a lot of time there with friends in my late teens and early twenties so its no big deal to me. Nice to see standards are relaxing as people in Europe have been doing this for years. I know some people might not agree but then of course they don't have to go in. It's all about choice.

We decided to head over to Sams Town having never been there before. We took the shuttle from Harrahs and arrived there hungry so we decided to go to their buffet. The buffet while not great was okay and the price was right. We wandered around the hotel,played a few slots, checked out the poker room which only had one table running . Looked like mostly older locals so probably not much money to be made there. While I liked the hotel I certainly don't think I would stay there as there is not much around that area. I prefer the Strip. Still nice to visit though.

Got back to the hotel and decided to play 1-2 at the Flamingo. Won a hand early when dealt K10 and the flop came K78. I bet and everyone folded. A few hands later I got dealt A7. I limped in with 3 others.Flop comes A97 rainbow. Nice flop. I bet twenty.Everyone folded except old guy who raised me to 50. That's when alarm bells should have gone off. Does he have A9??. I called like an idiot. Turn was a 6. He pushed all in. I had about 50 dollars left and stupidly I called. Yep he had A9. The river was a J and that was my buy in. I thought about rebuying but I always like sticking to a plan. If I get felted that's it. Sure I could have come back but some nights its just better to walk away.

Found the wife and headed over to the Mirage and had a late night bite to eat at Carnegie's again. Great food. Poker on the night down 100 dollars. Still up 177 for the trip.
