Las Vegas

We all know the old saying – what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! So obviously I can’t reveal too much about the last few days which I spent there. We stayed in the Planet Hollywood which was quite nice. A discreet $20 tip to the check-in clerk got us a room upgrade. Sleeping was kept to a minimum each day and only occurred a couple of hours each side of noon.

Poker was certainly the main attraction for me. I wanted to sink my teeth into all those fishy tourists I hear so much about. Overall I played three long sessions of $1/$2 NL and had a great time! I played pretty well for most of it but I can clearly remember a few mistakes I made that cost me a few shillings. I won’t bore you all with the hand details.

Our flight to Vegas from Vancouver was last Sunday. Superbowl Sunday!! I’ve been watching some NFL this season for the first time and was really getting into it. I had totally forgotten about the Superbowl when booking the flights. I managed to catch the first half at home and then the last quarter at the airport. There was a crowd of people around a TV set watching it and there was a great atmosphere as the NY Giants held on to beat the not quite perfect Patriots.

Las Vegas is a unique city. So very, very decadent! Every single thing there is to do with money or sex. Naturally I loved every second and can’t wait to go back!
