And totally exhausted.
A week in Vegas is more than one person can stand, but I tried :)
I have to tell ya, I played poker in the new Ballys card room and I was almost ready to quit my job and move to Vegas and just play poker for a living. 8)
These people there are, well let's just say if you can't make $$$$ playing against them then you may want to consider taking up bingo ;) Nice tables, great dealers and excellent floor managers.
(although being dealt 4 8's when two raising maniacs at the table both had Ace high boats helped ;) )
I also played at Excalibur and the players there are closely related to the players at Ballys. :)
Just not as nice of a set up and the dealers at Ex appear to all come from the same nursing home. I think I only saw 1 dealer who wasn't a long time subscriber to AARP ;)
Hey, 1 dealer was so 'mature' and had some mobility issues, he 'scored' a curved line on the felt with a chip and said if you wanted to play you had to place your bets across the line so he could reach them and another used a stick to drag the chips and slapped it down if a mistake was made :shock:
I planned on playing at Mandalay Bay but a 'business meeting' at the Island Bar ran long so I missed the start of the tourney :(
Anyway, good to be home. I got a cool freebie from my friends and sponsors and as soon as I get settled and get through what is a little over 5000 emails I will figure out a way to give them out.
