2 days until Vegas


I can't believe its almost here. 2 more days and then its a week in Vegas. Really looking forward to it. Been scrambling around doing a lot of last minute things like buying a long distance card so I can call home without getting ripped off by the hotel. Haven't started packing yet (tomorrow). I was going to take the laptop with me but a week away from the computer will be a good thing. Plan on playing some poker, 3 or 4 tournaments and hopefully some cash game action too. Its always harder when your spouse is not a poker player to fit it all in but I have to say my wife is incredibly understanding. Not sure if we will take in any shows but will decide when we get down there. We have a couple friends (both poker players) meeting us near the end of our week who I will play a tournament with and also another couple when we first get there for drinks. Am I excited or what? It's been over a year since the last visit.
I am planning on writing a journal while I am there so I can post it all back here when we return.

Talked to a guy who just got back from there and it seems the cab drivers are up to there old tricks of taking people the long way to their hotels. He got charged 28 bucks from the airport to Harrahs. Its about a 15 buck trip. I stay at the Flamingo and what I do is give the driver 20 bucks before he turns the meter on and tell him that I know the fair is around 13 and the rest is his tip. They are more than happy that way.

Wish me luck.
