Got into a Lyft in Vegas back in 2019. It was late, probably 1am ish, and had a decent hike from the Nugget back to the Embassy Suites (off strip, across from the Hard Rock). I selected the “I will share this ride” option to save a few $. The driver seems like a cool dude, so I joke with him “If we are picking up another rider, I hope it’s a hot chick” he looks at his phone but as far as I can tell it’s just GPS instructions back to my hotel, and says “Sorry dude, but we’re picking up a Derek, so not likely.”
He drives around the corner, I don’t think he’s checking his app or anything, and picks up the most obvious hooker ever. She gets in the front seat, never tells him where she’s going, and I don’t think his app showed any new directions or anything. She makes small talk with the driver and me a little bit on the road, and eventually asks me if I want to hang out with her. I tell her I’m good, and that’s pretty much the end of it as I eventually get to my hotel. I have no idea if this was a legitimate ride share and I misread the whole thing, or if ride share drivers are working with Vegas sex workers. If so, brilliant, and my bad for giving the wrong impression and wasting this girls time. My bad guys. If it’s any consolation, if I was going to hire a sex worker, she’d be the type I’d go for. Tall, mixed race, tatted. It’s like the guy somehow knew my type.
Many Uber drivers won’t pick up another person or location because you can then claim you didn’t get a ride and get a refund. It’s a common scam people pull on drivers.
Big black says he’s gunning for me after I felted him twice, both times running it twice.
First time, I had 8776ss in the SB and flopped the underboat with a straight flush gutter on a TT7 board and he had JT62ss in a single raised pot. An older woman led out for something like 100 into 125, he called, I check-jammed effectively all-in. The woman folded and he called with trips and a weak flush draw.
Second hand, I flatted with AAK5ss in the SB. I flatted. Board comes Q32r. Checked around. The turn is the T:club:. I check. Preflop raiser bets pot. Black guy calls. I check-jam with an over, the nut flush draw, and two gutters, one to the nuts. Preflop raiser folds and black guy calls with a bottom gutshot and a weak flush draw. He thinks he won the top with a flush until I show him the bad news.
He’s from Miami and he told me he’s coming to get me.
Black guy got up and came back mid-deal when he would have been the button. The dealer apologized, saying she would have dealt him in if he had said something. He told her it’s not a big deal because the button means nothing in this game.
@NotBruceZ , I should have mentioned this when you were staying at the gold coast because it’s close by, but take a lunch trip to Shang for Chinese noodles. The play is the Shang beef noodle soup with shaven noodles.
Instead of Lotus I think we might just bar hop downtown. Nacho Daddy looks delicious and is right next to Banger Brewing. Then just bar hop / casino crawl along Fremont the rest of the night.
