Prairiebreeze’s Vegas Cannonball (Hit and) Run IV – December 7-11, 2025
Welcome to Prairiebreeze’s Vegas Cannonball (Hit and) Run IV.
They never made a Cannonball Run 4 – and the world is a bet
So we took the tram to Aria, after my friend busted the $1,100 Limit O8 event at Wynn.
I didn't win a hand and I probably shouldn't have played given how tired I was feeling. -$300 there.
Found the walking path back to Vdara then Bellagio and walked back to Flamingo as that Tram doesn't run... after MIDNIGHT? WTF?
Putzed around inside Flamingo for half an hour and called it a night. Pretty tired and the sleep schedule is off.

It's Tuesday, Day 3... feeling better today, so let's go get it!
There are cowboys. Infinite cowboys. And cowgirls. 😀
It’s a bit quieter is some spots. Bellagio was a morgue last night after MNF ended.
Well that lasted 20 minutes.
Guy 5 bet jammed with 66 in level ONE when the only have I ever have is AA.
Flop 764.
LOL
So I texted the HH to my buddy who’s playing a 600 at Venetian. His response:
Rebuy as many times as you have to.
Oh, and you’re a fish.
Busted just as reg closed.
Moved to Venetian. Buddy is in the final 30, 21 get paid, 11k up top.
My game is WILD. So I got wild and got a full double with this:
Opponent had J9cc.
Well…
I just scooped one with AAK2 on
A9772
AK239
They have otherwise been a waste of $6. But 1 for 8 to scoop is fun!
So we ended up at Harrah's playing craps after I wolfed down one of the most forgettable meals I've had in a while from Chicken Guy. Yawn.
Caught a decent roll playing small and won $252.
Moved down to Flamingo, Played craps there, lost $191. Never really got much going.
Buddy was pokered out so headed back up the strip. I crossed the street into Horseshoe, and had the most fun you can have until 4am losing $21 in a 1/3 game. Met two great guys from Texas and a local with Jesus hair, and as I was already 4-5 Coronas deep by this time, we were a bit loud but having a blast. From the **** Zamboni driver who looked like his soul was leaving him in real time, to joking about getting someone's high hand bonus paid out in whites to ribbing on of the Texas guys for drinking 6 hot chocolates in 2 hours, it was a ton of fun, and even though the game was pretty bland (was never up or down more than $50), it was memorable. Find a Spooky Link machine that looked primed, and won another $125 playing it.
4 hours of sleep. Let's get after it. Today is our last day and tomorrow's flight is early, so let's get rolling!

Plan was Venetian for a few hours then see how my buddy is doing in the 600 PLO at Aria.
Got one outed to get scooped in a bomb pot so really NOT the start we were looking for.
Discovered that the cheapest Starbucks in the strip is at… Venetian? Do THEY know this? About 2-3 bucks cheaper across the board.

Ouch, HH?
The Starbucks next to the Sphere-walkway I assume?
The Starbucks at the entrance just past the gondolas if you're walking north. And ZERO lines every time I walked past it at random times of day.
I have 66xx against A2xx and the top board was 622 on the flop. We pot, he re-pots, I jam, he calls. Turns brings his case 2 instantly.
I've been everywhere today and am still a bit drunk so more to come as I travel home in the morning. Fun day.

Reminds me of the hidden Starbucks at Aria that practically nobody knows exists. I always laugh when I go upstairs and go by the main Starbucks and then go to the other one near the poker room/convention centre and there is 0 people there pretty much always
