Done my official count. 138.
45 totally mint and about another 15 close enough to it.
Now I've got to make sure I get a complete rack of mint chips

Day 2

So after getting back from the gym and eating breakfast, I drove down to the Rio and finalized my registration for tomorrow. That out of the way I decided to drive to the crown and anchor British pub on East Tropicana Ave to watch Arsenal v Chelsea. 15 mins in I realised that the terrible way in which arsenal are run has left me feeling numb towards them, so I left. Sad, when I've been a passionate supporter for the last 25 years. They ended up losing 4-1 so leaving was a good decision.

My next move was to get confused at the petrol station, as I didn't realise that you had to pay first. Weird.

Following on from that I headed to Silver Sevens full of enthusiasm and confidence that my plans to get some 1s and 2s would be successful. My enthusiasm lasted for about 2 ninutes, as there were only 2 tables open, with no 2s in sight and the 1s didn't look great either. The cashier said they couldn't give me any chups, so I left. What a dump that place was :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I sat down at Harrah's for a few hours to put in my first poker session. I was up about $200 for a while, but dumped off $150 to a rivered backdoor flush when I had pocket aces. Kinda frustrating and I nearly folded the river, but the price was too good to fold.

They refused to sell me a rack of 1s at the cage, so my harvesting attempts there are slower than expected. Planet Hollywood also refused to sell me a rack. Paris is going well though, this is what I have so far.

I cleaned them btw. 25 mint Paris is decent though, I'm happy with that.

Oh and I stopped off at in n out burgers and had the double cheese. The burger tasted pretty great to be fair, but as well as being a coffee snob, I'm also a burger snob, and i've had burgers from at least 3 hipster burger joints in Perth that are definitely better. I enjoyed the flavour of the patties, but they were smaller than I prefer. The cheese was great and I thought the buns were ok too. I kinda feel like they taste like what McDonald's should taste like in an ideal world.

Oh and the chips were shit :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I'm now back to the room at 8pm, like the old man I am. I'm still feeling exhausted, and to be fajr I have spent 35 hours in the air since last Tuesday night. i've been on 4 continents in those 4 days. I want to be nice and fresh for my big 50 flight tomorrow.

All in all a great day and i'm loving Vegas so far.

harrahs are one of the nicer $1 could def put nice color set around them GL
 
Desperate for a good coffee, ive made my way to Eataly. No pressure @B.C. lol

They really do take the piss in Vegas though with prices. $6.39 for a large coffee, and they have the cheek to ask for a tip at the register. My whole breakfast was only $9.99 with a coffee.

Its busy, so that's a good sign. Let's see what's its like in 5 minutes when they make it.

$6 for a coffee?! Someone better follow you around all day with a French press refilling your cup every time it gets less than half full.

Tell me about it, I'd not normally pay that, but I'm desperate.

And it's not a bad coffee, not great, but it will have to do. Better than the rest of the ones I've tried
 
Just tried to get a rack of new $1s from the cashier with the offer of a $30 tip. She wanted it, i could see it in her eyes lol but she said come back when her supervisor was about to approve it.

Got 10 fresh 1s from a table in the meantime

As you all know, I busted last night in 581st and cashed for 1024th.

But that doesn't mean the trip updates are done. 3 Vegas days left and then 8 more days with the wife (3 of which are back in Vegas), so the updates are going to keep coming.

I was feeling down, but I had a bath and a chat to the wife and my spirits have picked up again. Plus I just counted my cash and i've been here for 4 days and my stash of cash is $1000usd more than when I arrived. I originally budgeted $630usd for spending in 7 days, but I find myself with $500 spending money left for my 3 days on top of my bankroll. I'm definitely going shopping today.

I'm also thinking it's time that I hit up the magical candy shop of chips that is @Spinettis Gaming

show us your whole harvesting collection when you get a chance.
 
Its not huge, but my focus is mostly on THC and only mint.

I'm at 100 mint Bally's
50 mint Paris and another 100 reasonable
And I'm in Mandalay now and should have a mint rack by the time I leave. The poker cage is sifting for me whilst I play lol

The area where they are won't sort them for me, sounds like they won't be mint.

Not sure I can be bothered

Buy a rack for $500 (or $400 in they are oversized with 80 to a rack). Sort them yourself, keeping mint chips. Repeat.
