Target number 183

Using the numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 (in any order), can you write a mathematical expression (e.g. 8*5*(3+2)-1-1) with a result equal to 183?

You may use any of the four basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) as well as parenthesis. Some additional rules:

1. You are not required to use all six numbers.
2. You may NOT join numbers (e.g. 1, 8, 3 to make 183).
3. Please use the following symbols for operators (+, -, *, /).
4. You may only use a number as many times as it appears above.
5. Can't get the target? Submit your best answer (result closest to 183).
