That cheap fukk probably has coin operated toilets.
$0.25/sheet.

What do you set the odds that he'd meet me for a beer this week?

**Jayvegas420** · 06-25-14, 12:07 AM

That's a shame.

**gauchojake** · 06-25-14, 12:25 AM

Jay seriously, that is such a ghetto walk. I've done some fukkin ghetto walks but I'd be a little nervous doing that. I saw so many crackheads last week just a block off the strip it was brutal. Anyways, good luck. No trolling. Have fun and hopefully you have an epic time and win some cash.

Even better, the house is all yours Jay

But yeah, save some damn $ for a taxi. I didn't even know you could walk to the airport, I almost had to but had some money wired just for a taxi after losing it all.

Hope that doesn't happen to you pal.

Well, I would take no for the max on that one.

**gauchojake** · 06-25-14, 12:41 AM

Ok so I was in Vegas last week and I saw Jay's post about walking everywhere. I'm a guy who will literally walk anywhere within reason. I live in LA and have been to Vegas more times than I can count and thought to myself that it was a long walk through a super shitty neighborhood. When I was on my way home, I paid particular attention because I saw jays thread update and thought about the "what if I had to" situation. Never. Never ever ever ever. I lived in Venice in the ghetto in the 90's and wouldn't walk that. Just sayin. Jay is way more gangster than I would have suspected.

**Jayvegas420** · 06-25-14, 03:38 AM

No bad neighbourhoods between the air port & the strip.
Maybe I'm just being naive or take for granted how safely we are able to travel in Canada without the risk of being shot. But if you keep you head down and walk fast, you're usually OK. Just pretend like you're in yard!

**unluckysob** · 06-25-14, 09:32 AM

JAY---Walking from airport does not look like a bad walk to south end of strip---website on this [google]----BUT bad people know you have cash arriving---where is the $150. a week room?? vegas on the cheap, I like this---GOOD LUCK.

Vegas is not that rough. Most poster on here are just afraid of blacks and mexicans anytime they see a black man they assume "bad area"

My best advice to anybody who does not have street smarts is DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH ANYONE

if you make eye contact you are asking for trouble. If you don't make eye contact nobody will bother you. It just like with dogs don't make eye contact with a rottweiler they see it as you challenging them.

Keep your head up and don't make eye contact. If you walk with your head down then people will see you as an easy and unsuspecting target.

Perps can smell fear if you will. If somebody try you , you can't show fear. You gotta be crazier than they are. If somebody pull a gun on me i will call their bluff. I say shoot me mother fukker. If not , put your gun down pussy.

Some great advice here.....

**Jayvegas420** · 06-25-14, 10:21 AM

Slob, a lot of those "bad people" are here at SBR. In fact some of them have already posted in this thread

The apartment is on Harmon. If anyone wants to come by and check the place out its The Harbour Island Apartments. I'm not so worried about some of the bad people in Vegas. They'd have to content with me, armed guards & possibly the Metro before they got a dome off me.
I've actually had a gun pulled on me. I was walking with my attorney & a mugger emerged from an alley, pointed a gun at us & said, 'Gimme all your cash."I turned to my attorney, handed him all my cash & said," Here's that $200 I owe you!".

That's just a joke Bear.

Boeing.....thanks for visiting the thread, take care & God Bless.

**jjgold** · 06-25-14, 11:17 AM

**Jayvegas420** · 06-26-14, 10:59 AM

Flying out of Toronto so, I've decided to make a quick stop with my buddy Miller at The Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry Ontario.

I am going to stick to BJ 3/2 $10 min.
Buying in for $50.

Sorry for the poor linkage etiquette.

**Jayvegas420** · 06-29-14, 10:21 AM

After my last post, my phone stopped taking charges. So I had no phone at all, then on the way to the airport I plugged my phone in to Millers car and wouldn't you know it, it began to charge. Got off the plane at McCarran, and my us roaming wasn't working. So I managed to convince the sports book manager here at Monte Carlo to give me the password for wifi and I'm trying to look in to why T Mobile isn't working for me. Once I get all these minor details worked out I'll post some of the videos I took at Casino Niagara and some of the new videos I took here today in Vegas.

Stay tuned. We are experiencing technical difficulties.

**ChiLLx** · 06-29-14, 12:51 PM

I read the first post in this thread and laugh every time

After the Blue Heron Miller & I decided we'd go to the Falls view Casino in Niagara Falls.
Fallsview: http://youtu.be/hR66ilyev50
We stayed at a hotel called The Universal for $65. The pool was a quarter full with brown water & we received 5 channels on a Zenith from the 90's but, the room didn't smell & there were no bugs. I've stayed in worse. Overall I'd give it a 4.5 out of 10.
I played blackjack & roulette the 1st night & was up as much as $450 but, found my self down $410 with about 4 hours until my flight to Vegas. This was due to a bad beat at $2-$5 NL...
I was the puck & dealt KdKh, the chip lead at the table bet 120 preflop, which was $60 shy of my entire stack so, obviously I shoved. There was one other caller who had about $170 behind her. The flop came 763 (rainbow) & the chiplead put her all in as well. She rolled over queens & chip lead rolled 77. His set held up. After regrouping I decided that if I am going to get back to even I'd have to up the stakes so, I took $50 to a $25 blackjack table & my dealer's favourote number was 24 because she busted 7 out of 16 hands & in less than 15 minutes I had $300. Plus an extra $100 I stashed away, just in case. So, the profits basically covered the room, food, a full tank in Miller's car & a great night at The Sundowner! Phone was busted so no pics, sorry!
Miller found himself down quite a bit more than me but, he was also able to make a last minute run to get back to very close to even. I think if miller has any advice for our fellow gamblers it would be. "Stay away from the Star Wars slot machine!"

I left Pearson Airport at 8:30 am & had a 3 hour lay over at LAX. I saw a celebrity but I can't remember her name. She's Ray Donovan's assistant who looks like Katy Perry or Zoey Deschanel. I would have asked her for a quick pic but, when I saw her, TSA was searching my body & luggage. This frequently happens to me. Not the "star sighting" but, the "random" TSA searches. I was starving by this point & the least expensive place I could find to eat was this place called The Counter.

I arrived at McCarran shortly after 2 pm. This is my favorite escalator ride.

McCarran arrival: http://youtu.be/2qwYetjVO3s

I checked into The Harbor Island Apartments at 4:00 & the girl who checked me in was the same girl from last year. Her name is Esha & she always treats me well. She informed me that the prices had risen since my last visit but, gave me the old price. $149, no tax, no deposit. I love that woman!

Gotta head out today & try to gather info about the Aria Classic & Phamous Poker Series, to make sure I don't run into a time conflict.

The walk from my apartment to the strip is always an interesting one. This time wasn't too crazy but I saw Elvis ridding a scooter.

Here's my typical walk to the strip.

Walk to strip: http://youtu.be/zLP52cd6Ar4

I walked from the Monte Carlo to the City Square Mall to resolve my phone issues because the concierge told me there was a T-Mobile outlet there. Well, there wasn't so i walked the 3.5 miles again, back to the Monte Carlo & Taylor, the concierge, took pitty on me & allowed me to use the casino phone to call back to Canada. Long story short, my wife was able to contact my Dad & he somehow resolved the issue! Don't ask me how but, either way.....I'm back online.

After returning from the mall I was seated next to one of my favourite poker players & admired author ....Al Shoonmaker. It was really neat to read his article in this month's Card Player Magazine while sitting next to him in seat #2! I didn't win a lot but, more importantly, I didn't lose & earned over 6 hours towards the $13,000.00 free roll next week. Al said (I can call him "Al" because we're kinda tight now lol) that they now pay the top 38 players and there's usually less than 100 runners. Waitress in the poker room was incredible. When the waitresses works that hard it's difficult to stay under 15 drinks in a 6 hour session !

I'll be back later with some more updates.

Has anyone else ever seen this bar?
Rediculous.

If I'm gonna win some sports bets Manny, I'm gonna need an "Ash-Lock".
I'd never pass up an opportunity to hook up with the I famous JJ Gold!

Swifty & Ant, thanks for the kind words.

Chill, thanks for visiting the thread.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 06-30-14, 12:47 PM

**opie1988** · 06-30-14, 12:56 PM

This is as awesome as last years thread! Love it!!!

Good luck, Jay!

**jjgold** · 06-30-14, 01:12 PM

Jay how are you going to be in Vegas??

**Jayvegas420** · 06-30-14, 01:29 PM

Unless Im up few thousand on Saturday the 12th of July, I'll be flying back.
Opie, let me know when it's safe to lay $100 on the rangers!
When are you gonna make your way here Corbin?

D2D, sorry I won't be here in August, I'd love to hook up for a few Canadians with you. You're still one of my favorite posters here at SBR, nothing but class!

Thanks for checking in boys.

I'll post a video of today's sports book tickets when I get a chance.

**jjgold** · 06-30-14, 01:43 PM

Good chance I'll be there next Thursday

I need to change with his professional gambling career

MR VEGAS

**High3rEl3m3nt** · 06-30-14, 04:01 PM

Maybe Fishhed can help this guy find some +EV plays.

GL Jay.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 06-30-14, 05:24 PM

I don't know how you play anything for 7 hours and be up $20....lol. I love it though.

You trap me in a casino for 7 hours playing blackjack or something and I am going to be up $3k or down $5k....there is no in between.

And if you tipped out $13 ON 14 ryes....please don't tell me that you skipped the tip on #14 because you no longer needed her to come back!! Lol....that would be killer.

**jjgold** · 06-30-14, 06:06 PM

Jay is a hard-core Vegas guy
Table games are just too fast for me

This kid should just get a job and move to Vegas

**Libanese** · 06-30-14, 06:36 PM

You can stay at a fleabag all furnished suite place and pay weekly.

You can play basic strategy in BJ or 6 & 8 in craps.

You can get rated daily and eat free meals and free drinks.

Your life would be crappy and the people you meet will be nefarious at best.

It really wouldn't be fun but it can be done.
