Parlay x6 back to Las Vegas: Aria 1 br Panoramic Penthouse 8/4 - 8/8

Heading to Las Vegas yet again today. My latest foray https://vegasfanatics.com/index.php...penthouse-at-mgm-grand-detroit-7-30-8-4.9400/

Has given me the means and opportunity to continue cranking the antics into visiting Aria, the last remaining MGM property that has scored a win against me this year.

I'll be staying at the Aria from today until the 8th, when I move over to the Cosmopolitan to take over their 4 bedroom Boulevard penthouse for a while.

I've cashed out 74.5k of my win from Detroit, and have used the MGM backoffice transmittal system to load my MGM Aria front money account with 2M, giving me upgraded limits of 50k per hand, and 100k aggregate across the table per deal. I have the blackhat security conference this week, hosted over at Mandalay Bay, and will be attending a number of the parties/newtorking/investor events throughout this week and next.
Let the games continue.

 

I never do side bets but they are also upped

+72k after tipping 2k to dealers, who turned it into 6k (!)
Vegas dealers are super aggressive. this one was like 2x 500 please (once i described the way i play it for them)
that won.
next hand both 500's got smoked.
then 1x 1k (!)
and that thing sat there for 4 wins in a row including a double (which I "dealer marker 1k" assisted)

 

Aria.
Rim 100
Initially choppy, got better, worse, better.
Up 6, Bet 2x 10. One hand's a double, Win 30.
Up 36
-1 for Dealer tip time +1.5
Rim down
FM +106
Net +130 since I got off the plane yesterday. Slower, but that's ok. This month will be a marathon not a sprint.

Now getting ready to go down to Mandalay Bay to register for Blackhat.
What does that mean? Wallet is now stripped down to only my ID, some cash, and players card. Bluetooth turned off. Wifi turned off, and will probably be on airplane mode when I'm in Mandalay Bay.

They gave us backpacks so security knows who to be wary of

Bluetooth is notoriously easy to hack/brute force

Got to +30
-1 for dealer tip time, result +1.6
FM +29.

5/5
Rim 100
Started off with 2x 2k and run into dealer blackjack.
Some choppiness in the next few hands, until I get sick of getting pushed around and bet 20.
Win, Lose. Lose. ugh.
2x 25, and then get a split hand - needing another 100 to the rim.
Dealer bust and the +75 punts me into profit by 25.
Another 25 and we're good to go.
Rim down to 0 and I'm sitting on 50 net.
-1 dealer tip try. they go 3x 0.3, and get their 3x 19's squished by house hand 20.
Dealer 0.1 try - dead.
I feel bad, so...
-1 dealer tip try - second shot on goal.
Now 2x 0.5. Win one lose one, but in my way of playing this, they get the 0.5 and then the other 0.5 is alone.
Last hand - 16 hard vs dealer A. I wave off the insurance, but was getting ready to hit when the dealer flips over the hidden card, 6, soft 17 and stand, wins vs 16...
I would've surrendered it , but yeah, dealer was too quick on assuming my no-insurance was a stand on the hand.
So
+48, dealer tip time +0.5. yeesh.

Trip net +207.

 

6/6
Rim 100
Started off choppy again, then down , down down slightly.
A multiple hand loss - with splits and doubles - didn't hurt badly because the base bet was only 2k.
And then I swing with a 23k bet that connects, and now I'm up 11k.
Bet the 11, it's a double - and lands. +33
Rim down.
-1 dealer tip try - and they try with 1x 0.3 to start, and a few hands later only have +0.3 to show for the whole 1k.
+32, dealer tip time +0.3. Again, ugh.
FM + 32.

Trip FM net: +239.

 

7/7
Rim 100
Started off getting slowly decimated. Briefly made it back to even, but then again, chipped away, chipped away, chipped away...
Losing 4 out of every 5 hands kinda thing, and betting my usual bare minimum kinda thing (2k-ish)
And then I don't have enough 1k's to make 2 bets of 2k. Just 87k onhand, and 2x 1k's onhand.
Remainder is 1 stack of 7 5k's, and another stack of 10 5k's.
I take the shorter stack and push it to the circle. 35k up.
Dealer - no more bets - and starts to deal. 3, 7. Dealer showing a 7...
Double!
An additional 35k slides into place. 8 for 18.
Dealer flips over a 7, Pulls an A, Pulls a face. Paid out
Rim down
-1 Dealer tip. Converted into +1.
FM +56

Trip FM Net: 295k.
