Highlights of this trip in random order:
- My quad 6s over villain’s Aces full at Hard Rock
- AR-15 on full auto (damn that clip went by fast)
- MP-5 on full auto (need more bullets)
- Benelli shotgun on full auto (joking, but I shot and pumped as fast as I could)
- Gambling with the guys at Hard Rock (check out the high limit tables)
- The last RehabRX pool party of the season at Hard Rock (got in free with a trick ;)
- 1/2NLHE with Paris & Benji, Nikki & David at you guessed it… Hard Rock
- Up ~300 after shooting in craps (I rarely shoot)
I know the ladies had alot of fun too, doing their ‘thang’ also. Thanks to everyone who made it out to Vegas for us, it was a fun time.

Knocked out towards the middle of the tournament. My stack was about 7BB and the table was loose as hell. Pushed with pocket 9s and unfortunately met a slow roller who limped with pocket As. Gotta try again next week! :)

I played at Binion’s poker room on a recent trip to Vegas. The downtown casino was the location for some scenes in the recent movie Lucky You starring Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore.
The Vegas trip was really fantastic. Several hundred extra value meals were lost and a great many more were won. The best day by far was winning BIG at the craps table. CK would say having her picture taken with Wilmer Valderrama was the highlight of that day (flurry!). A close second for me was being dealt a spade royal flush in the Luxor poker room and easily winning the 150 dollar hourly high hand jackpot. Woo! Overall the best gambling fun was had inside the Mandalay Bay casino. The blackjack was great there, and so was the poker room. I didn’t get to visit the Peppermint Patty ;) – maybe we’ll try that again next time.
Bellagio and Venetian had nice poker rooms. I played in the Bellagio’s “poker sweat shop”; the heat from all the bodies and the constant background noise of chip shuffling was the first thing I noticed. The Bellagio also served some really pretty Strawberry Julius. Mandalay Bay was my favorite room though. Nice and clean and well run. At the aged Binion’s poker room I got in on some of the tightest and well played rounds of poker. Binion’s also gets the distinction of the only casino with a dealer that would openly discuss (guess) my live hand. Luxor has an easy going jackpot in their poker room with hourly payouts to the highest hand. Unfortunately, I would have gotten close to a grand if I hit my monster hand at some other room, like Mandalay. All in all, I would go back to Mandalay Bay over and over again.
This was the best Vegas trip yet. I have other fun stories to tell too (ask me about grumpy Phil Ivey). We had lots of fun with our friends J & H and I personally can’t wait to go back again soon.
