Lt Dan, Ned, & Bart Vegas live on Fremont St 1/6 -1/9

We coming for the final week of regular season NFL & the college National Championship game. We coming. Previous trips suggest we won’t leave downtown, we’ll play copious amounts of blackjack, hopefully a nice amount of craps, some VP, drunk AF the entire time, great chance for an all nighter or two, and definitely betting/watching football. Stops at Hogs & Heifers, Underground, bar hoppin container Park, and possibly Jerry’s Nugget. I’m looking forward to the Sand Dollar cuz I’m normally a mid-week traveler and the mid-week live music went away after the first couple times I visited the SD. We’re staying at The D. I got Mon & Tues comped, LtD scored the Black Friday deal, Ned’s probably sleeping with his homeless girlfriend a block or two off Fremont. We coming…I’m bringing my luggage with me and it’s Samsonite Light….we coming….

 

We’re missing a couple characters this trip, but let me introduce you to the characters in the show (basically three 40 somethings acting like it’s our 21st birthday).

Lt Dan - Husker & 49er fan, certified degenerate, calls his Sunday morning ritual to his local Hard Rock casino “church”. He’s our key to mastering the art of throwing dice. Last time I saw him in Vegas (2018) I swear he drank three (or more) of everything and one all nighter at the Golden Gate he didn’t get up to piss for at least 6 hours….must’ve been on a heater, and you NEVER walk away when you’re on a heater!

Ned - Husker & Chiefs fan, certified degenerate, addicted to sports gambling, Captain Morgan/Dr Pepper, weed, & dumb life decisions. Last time I saw him in Vegas he was smoking weed with the feather ladies on Fremont St. He’s been known to get kicked out of the Golden Gate and he loves blackjack at the El Cortez.

Yours truly, Bart Vegas - Husker fan, 22nd time in Vegas, 4th in the last 53 weeks. Addicted to Busch Light, blackjack, Captain Morgan, & reading Vegas trip reports. Aspiring craps player, impromptu Vegas trip extender, & blackjack tournament player.

 

Ned showed up on time to my house, so on our way to the airport. 20 mins down the road he realized he didn’t have his phone. We turned around and found it in my alley, took a piss, & got more beer. Then we get to the airport just in time for one drink and to board and ole Ned hadn’t checked in. This guy can fuck up a wet dream.

 

A54 got me a front row aisle seat with no one in the middle. #winning

 

+20 at the D. -120 at the ElCortez.
Ned’s down approx 300, Lt Dan went to his room for money (cuz he went belly up) and now he’s on Fremont st with a python around his neck. What the fuck is going on?

 

He lives up by you in Dakota Dunes.

 

This has been a shit show. From the start Lt Dan said he didn’t want to sit at a table the whole time. Guess what. I’ve got more hrs at a table than I do sleep. Party you pussies!

 

I don’t know where to start. My trip report is a total failure. Except for 2 naps I’ve been shit faces since Saturday. The D, Golden Gate, circa, El Cortez, Fremont St, that’s it. Here’s some pictures. PS. I’m still shit faced this fine Monday morning.

 

That’s Ned in bed, no he’s not dead

 

Back home it’s snowing and Sat the high will be -2. This Cornhusker is putting his shorts on and going on a bar hopping day.

 

I’m heading out. If you see a bone white Swede with his legs out and a Husker shirt and booze breath, it might be me. I’m happy to report I at least had this in my pocket this morning.

 

I’m also 3 for 3 on sports bets thanks to the Jack Rabbits, Texans, & Bills so I’m putting them winnings on the Huskies tonight

 

GG cocktail lady “I feel like I’ve seen you before?”
Me “ya, I did some low grade porn”

 

The gambling has been brutal. I’m showered, packed, & ready to start the day with some rum & cokes. Go big or go home.

5 Morgan's in the first hour at the Vue bar. Good Morgan!
