I've been writing Las Vegas trip reports for quite a while now, and it wasn't always easy to figure out what was where or read back through a trip... well, be frustrated no longer! It's now easier than slipping a twenty dollar bill into a video poker machine and watching it go up in smoke to read all the thrilling and degenerate content on this site!
Here's the chronological index of all the trip reports posted here on Las Vegas the Royal Flusher Way. Enjoy!

![]() The Purple Chip Trip Another trip full of surprises, with the goal of winning my first ever $500 purple chip. Bally's, Luxor, and the California see savvy action and degenerate decisions. And, I play the Downtown Deuces for what turns out to be the last time. |

Oct/Nov 2017 |
The Lost Weekend Trip "I'm sitting here in Las Vegas. My ears are ringing. I have a little bit of a dry cough. My hand is a tad bit shaky as it reaches for a cardboard cup now half full of luke-warm tap water coffee from Mr. Takeout." What could be more appropriate than an out-of-the-blue weekend trip to Vegas? |

The HalloWynn Trip Are the costumes packed? Yes they are! Royal Flusher and Quad Queen return to Las Vegas to gamble, party, and frolic in carefully arranged faux fur. We hit no less than five different Sin City properties - one of 'em twice |

"In one of his worst transgressions, Angelo stopped at an intersection - where there was no stop sign. And in what was probably his worst transgression, at the next intersection, he ran the stop sign. Nobody coming, or I could have been a goner." |

May 2015 |
Newd Year Trip Report "Kenny, that had to be better than my day. The highlight was looking out the window in minus 20 and watching a dog crap on my front yard. Yeah you definitely had a better day." "Well..." said Kenny, and after a pause, "...I don't know. What kind of dog?" |
January 2015 |
No Kickers Trip Report As my recording states, "It was a great day, and a great trip, the most successful trip we've ever had in every respect. Great fun, most winning dollarses, most royals, by far the record... we did it. We beat them. We beat them fair and square, we beat the crap out of them. We got the money, we got the goods, we got all the shit, they gave us the shit for free. Act like you don't need the shit and they give you the shit for free." I think most of a bottle of champagne was in effect, there. |

Kenny and LuLU Trip Report "Vegas in summer… how bad could it be anyway?" This is the all-new trip report recounting the exciting, thrilling, and oft-times tragic events of my trip to Vegas in July 2014 with Kenny Blankenship and his wife LuLU (who insists it be spelled that way). Whether it was a 103 degree cat-fight in Tacos El Gordo, or the infamous Wynn Ice Swan Rant that made the difference, this was a Vegas trip like no other. |

Las Vegas Single-o Doing Sin City Single-o is a great experience. It gives a guy room to breathe, you know? Like switching from briefs to boxers. I had a great time on my own, and now you can have a great time reading about it, on your own. Enjoy! |

Ooh Las Vegas Trip Report The Las Vegas landing ritual is to listen to the Cowboy Junkies' ethereal version of “Ooh Las Vegas” as we coast into the valley. It's perfect for that personal, reflective time when the engines are throttled back on descent and the plane goes quiet as people start to think about how much money they are probably going to lose in the next 3 to 4 days. |

Will Gamble 4 Food This trip report dates from 2009 and is the first trip report I published here on Las Vegas, the Royal Flusher Way. Inside you'll find the savvy, such as being dealt some great hands, and the degenerate, such as my incredibly long quadless streak. |

Special Guest Trip Report!
Mr Flusher,
ReplyDeleteRecently I stumbled over your trip report on the LV message board. Quickly I found myself reading another or previous report. Couple thing strike me - - have you given any though to adding some humor to your reports and second, how on god's green earth does one stay in LV for 2 F------ weeks? Good lord man, you and queen are super human?
Seriously, your reports are a gas and your degenerate way reminds me of me (I'm around 100 trips in past 28 years or so and gambling issue with VP) since forever I also have a queen but she is a plain queen no quad in the name and actually, not a lucky queen either. This may explain my frequent solo trips.
Admittedly, I'l a strip guy but recently more time downtown has crossed my small mind. After reading of your travels, downtown sounds evern better.
Keep up the good work in LV flushman and all the worse to you (akin to break a leg).....
Love your reports
Frank (frankie two skirts) Nic...
