Saw Gary at the airport with Carlo when I was flying home with Mum.
Flight prices are definitely much more expensive nowadays, but you can manage to blag some value if flexible.
I got Econ-Delight out & Prem back for a grand when I booked early this year.
Generally you're looking a grand min nowadays, unless you go via Dublin.
I'd fly out sat on the floor, but at the end of the trip I always like to have premium back if possible, and it's invariably the much cheaper leg to fly premium.

A few things irked me a bit this year, and that might have gone hand in hand with the last few months. I tip very liberally in Vegas, and it's a running joke amongst most of the KK lot whenever we get a bill. Getting a computer shoved in your boat everytime you buy something and it asking you to tip 15/18/20%, was even starting to rub me the wrong way I'll prob leave it until if/when mum wants to go again, and will likely just go around any UFC cards I want to see, rather than the WSOP. I prefer the weather at Xmas, too. Downtown was fine from the few trips I went out driving about. Strip much the same, and the crowds were wild most of June. Vegas is just doing what Vegas does, and operating as a business. I can't blame them for it, but I can choose to spend my money elsewhere. People are in there spending wildly outside of gambling, so its focus is on that more than ever.

She's definitely happier now she's home, and the 2nd week once I moved down to the Nugget with her was better than her first. The Nugget was 'their place', and I think we all underestimated how tough she'd find it without him there, even though we both were. Don't get me wrong, we had the odd day where she had a great time, and forgot about things which was good. They were understandably a rarity over the 2 weeks, though. I'm probably done until she wants to go back, or at least until I'm ok leaving her in the house alone for more than a day or two. Just a play it by ear thing for the foreseeable, and not like it's going anywhere. Maybe it'll be for the best, as it was even starting to irk me a little with all the squeezing we're seeing as customers at present

Weirdest Vegas trip, ever. Wasn't supposed to be home until 14th, but mum was struggling out there so changed flights to come home with her on the 7th, and then changed them again to fly home yesterday. My regular cab driver had a touch, as he got my UFC ticket Hardly been online other than for work, but will try and have a catch up on the thread at some point. Looks like a few blondes have had some runs, and hopefully a few more to come in the main

Chaos on the streets, and chaos in the cardroom! I might have to see if I can find one of these bowl Big-O comps to rofl around in and annoy some old folk Good luck in the comp tomorrow, and with the wire Packing and Heathrow bound tomorrow afternoon. Just had murders sorting out my scooter, because I had let the old man book it on his card so he got the miles. Then I see they don't charge until the day, and I obviously cancelled the 6 weeks ago. Had her on the phone trying to explain we needed to cancel his, but keep mine. However, if they tried charging the card, they'd collect £0. She needed to take my details so I could pay for my scooter now, and just cance his booking. Lovely girl, but still took 1/2 hour to sort out on the phone. Thank goodness for Skype!

I watched one of Matusow's WSOP VLogs last night & he was wailing on about a bad beat from 6 or 7 years ago. Villain "had no right to be in the Tourney, had no Idea" da de da. Could not help but think he's an absolute dead-ringer for Marky147. Click to see full-size image. |
loool Matusow would be raging if he ever saw that post He should be flattered His beard is shit, and he can't drive a scooter to save his life!

Made the dinner break. Got 137,500. Think average is close to 200k. Was pretty card dead for the last 2 hours.
Wazuzu for dinner? GLGL! Would love to, but am in Paris and not sure I have the time. 2 trips down the strip on a weekend and was a 90 minute wait yesterday. Dusted $150 there the other day after 2xWynn bust outs. Was very good. Ah, WSOP today. My bad. It's definitely my preferred choice of the 2 casual asian restaurants at Wynncore. Wanted to do Mizumi this year, but they've closed it for a renovation. FML! Hopefully see the stack has swelled when I wake up, mate. GL!
