Booked the Vista Suite at Mandalay Bay for the last 3 nights of my trip at a discount rate . Wiiiiiiii
How much? $180 a night instead of $340. One of the last nights before I came over to LA I won around $600 in a 1/2 game at the MGM and decided to live it up for my last couple of days.  Looks great on the website. Enjoy |

I'm out of here tomorrow. Managed to do pretty much sweet FA on my last full day in Vegas. Didn't wake up till 1.30pm and it was 5pm before I ventured out of my room.
At 11pm I finally got myself sat down in a cash game and managed to pick up $400 after one rivered straight vs KK, one flopped full house with KJ and one 'please please please fold' bluff with the nut low of 45 on a T239J board.
Been a fun trip - the final scores on the doors were +$838 for cash and -$2520 for tournaments (with two near misses).
The Venetian deepstacks really are awesome and I would thoroughly recommend anyone who has any idea of how to play a tournament to give them a go.

N1 Nicky, stick it all on casino war if you ask me. Found a decent bar on my last day in Vegas called the Yard House In the Town Square shopping centre, $10 taxi ride from MGM. Reckons it has the biggest selection of draft beers in the world. Can't believe that but it had a cracking choice and was a nice change from the Casinos. I know Dave has been missing his Boddingtons. http://townsquarelasvegas.com/dining.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=14&sobi2Id=115 |

Oh yeah, Yardhouse is awesome. There's a good club around there too, forgot the name. Evans has gg-ed the ME. Jones grinding between Nenad Medic and Steve Jelinek with 22k. I'm off to play cash.

Omaha game in the V is pretty incred. Playing the nightly 120 before going with Nick Wright for some steaks.
269 players in the main event with 148k up top. Gl Jones...

I was waiting for the duece bus to arrive downtown this afternoon as I was about to make my way to the V to rail the boys and eat some Chinese food at my favourite Asia Noodles when i saw a grizzled old black guy who was obviously down on his luck as he was sitting on one of those stone benches near the bus-stop and asking for spare change in a gravelly tone that Louis Armstrong would have been proud of. Everybody was ignoring him but I had 50c in my pocket and quietly slipped it into his hand and then joined the back of the queue.
The bus arrived and I got my $7 ready in my hand with the $5 bill on top to buy my all day ticket and the old black guy was still sitting on the bench, as I went past him he enquired in the same gravelly tone almost sotto-voce "got a spare five?".
Just a quiet day for me today although I'm about to play some cash at The Nugget and have a few glasses of wine so minor fireworks are not totally out of the question as I think Andreas is still around. Coming home tomorrow evening on the BA flight which leaves here at 8.30pm and I will be bringing a couple of Cantor's finest corned beef sandwiches to sustain me rather than subject myself to the inedible muck that BA calls food.
I've had a really great time here even though it was a solo trip this time but I've just about had enough and as always will be pleased to get back to my cosy little flat and sleep in my own bed; it won't be long now..
