Fav Hotel (as in style/place etc)?

Never saw the Rooms, but Venetian is nice and apparently the rooms are heavenn

Fav Poker room?

Venetian i guess, played most of my torns there and are well ran and v good structures

Fav waitresss outfits?

[  ] caesars.
Seriosuly tho, some of the waitresses at Venetian are incred.

Did anyone have an 'earl of sandwich' at plant hollywood?
I didnt..

Fav drinking venue?
The pool.

Most expensive cab?
Mine! as reported earlier in thread, when i got lost, had no phone and no idea where the house was.

EDIT: 8 of us got in 2 taxis to Lake Mead which cost like $150 each there and like $100 back each, $500ish total. Worth it though!
Biggest tip?
No idea, but Rooks did pay $20 for a $2 note.

Trip high?
Errr the few days we had off from poker relaxing probably. Lake Mead, mine Rooks and Jones day of doing random stuff was very good too.
+ when Trigg had a decent score early in the trip, everyone was buzzing etc.
Trip low?
Getting stacks in loads of torns and just not running good in the crucial pots/flips when it really mattered.

Best food venue?
ROOKS BBQ Ltd obv... or the steakhouse at Binions that me, BrummieBoy, Benj and Rooks went to. Thought my steak was heaven.

US women - yes or no?
obv yes.

would you ....... rush back/just go back for poker/never go back again? (choose 1)
Id 100% love to go back 2mo, if i had the $$. I wouldn't go again with the small amount of £ i had. Just couldn't enjoy yourself/do what you want on limited $.

and finally - non poker flips - winner or loser ?

Winner

Although flipping and not getting a room in the 2nd house and just having a matress in the lounge was horrible.

Haha, ty sir.

[Royal Flush]

Trip low?

the cocaine comedown

Which one?

[Micko]

the cocaine comedown

Which one?

Cocaine? Naughty shrewdies!!

[Horneris]

Who won on the trip? Who lost?

Trigg, Tommy (for then, will do it all back now) won and the rest of us lost. I went with $4,000 personal money, made about $4,500 cash from tourns inc my freeroll tourn, so that = $8,500 and i came back with air, no idea where it all went.

Who was most different to how you thought they'd be pre-trip and why?

Middy! I thought he would do brilliantly but he did absolutely shite!

Who surprised you the most and how?

Rich. I knew he liked his sleep but that was ridicolous, he spent like 18 hours a day in bed.

Who was the most annoying?

TommyC. Hes one of my best mates but hes the only person i know who could start an argument with himself in an empty room.

Who was a legend?

Rooks, was just consistently very com.

What would you have done differently?

Played more World Series events. Didnt really have the chance to play a couple of the ones i wanted to as we ran out of money, but should have done more to secure staking pre-trip.

Earl Of Sandwich

A sandwich is much more than just meat between two slices of bread. The extensive menu at Earl of Sandwich pays tribute to the art of sandwiches with fresh-baked, artisan bread and the finest ingredients at this delightfully upscale sandwich shop.

the bread is amazing - toasted to perfection - The Earl's Club - Roasted Turkey, Smoked Bacon, Swiss Cheese, Lettuce, Roma Tomato & Sandwich Sauce

in short it is a ham and cheese toasty - but not as we know it!

if you are in vegas at the moment - try one today! For a quick bite or a lunch time sandwich you will not be disappointed! They are all freshly made to order so you can add or subtract ingredients at will

[Marky147]

[cod meharly]

havent got time to answer all these questions at the moment because im limited to 15 mins of internet in my new hotel! We got deducted 500 from our 2k deposit for over leaving the heater on in the spa which used all the propane,leaving both houses in a state and generally getting ripped off! but theres nothing i can do about it tbf so gg us lot. il sort out getting money off u guys later.

got a nice call from rex 2 days ago it went like this "i need you out of the hoiuse in 1 hour because i have people moving in today" .......pretty tough when all my clothes are at home all over the floor and im sat iun treasure island eating a pizza! the douche double booked the house so we got a complimentary hotel from him for the night and were staying there for another 3 nights after that...its called blue green 36. its actually really nice and close to the strip.

got absoloutely bolloxed last night in o'sheas playing beer pong with barbara and tommy. nearlly had a fight with this fat american douche who was just looking for trouble! managed to fade it though which was probably for the best!

so its july 4th weekend and everythings gna be busy/expensive but its my gf's last few nights in vegas so were gna go out again and probably get wrecked. Tommys got an ear infection from lake mead(gg) so hes using alcahol as a pain killer!

back on the hard grind from monday onwards so il keep everyone posted....and il answer all those questions.

p.s best shrewdie updater = rooks....legend = jones

[Horneris]

i also have an ear infection from Lake Mead.

gg me and TC, hopefully we both die, in a way.

The Blue Green sounds like a classy establishment, enjoy and gogogo!
