Vegas Day 2

We got up early and went down to the front desk and got a room change. Much better room than before but we have to admit the Flamingo is really starting to show it's age. Next trip we might try somewhere else. I do love the location and the pool though.

We met friends for lunch at Margaritaville. Had a great lunch and then they offered to take us out for some sight seeing as they had car. We never rent a car so we were game for it. They took us out into the desert to a place called Good Springs. It's a semi ghost town. Just a few houses and a saloon called the Pioneer. This is the bar where Clark Gable sat and got drunk while they searched in the Las Vegas hills for the plane that had crashed carrying Carol Lombard. They had a small room where the had a wall of incredible pictures of Gable. Really interesting. The bar itself is really small. Four tables but the pitcher of beer was cold and tasted great.

We then drove back to where they were staying which was at Southpoint. I was really impressed. First time there. Really nice hotel and their room was really spacious.
Took a tour of the casino and liked the way it was setup and the poker room looked comfortable and they had 2 tables going. Might even stay there sometime.

They drove us back to the strip and dropped us off. We had a quick dinner and then I decided to head over to Osheas for some 1-2. Why Osheas?? Well it was Friday night and that place always has lots of drunks playing. Sure enough. I got seated right away and realized I was the only sober person at the table. Beer and drinks were flowing. I got seated next to an attractive retired lady from Arizona who preceded to tell me her life story in between drinks. Pretty funny.

I got hot right away. I had pocket 4's and hit trips and won a decent pot. This would be the only time I liked pocket 4's on this trip (more on that later). I had pocket Aces, Kings, and even 7-9 off suit which hit trip 9's. Seemed every pot I played I won. Not huge pots but my original buy in of 100 bucks was really growing.

Arizona lady had pocket Aces cracked when she pushed all in and got called by AJd who caught his flush on the river. It didn't even phase her as she bought in again.
She kept up chatting away to me and told me the guy in seat 2 had asked her to dinner and she wasn't sure she wanted to go. I agreed with her it might not be a good choice. That got her laughing. A few minutes later Arizona lady decides she's hungry and guy in seat 2 gets up and away they go for dinner leaving their chips on the table. He grabs her hand as they are heading out the door which brought on lots of discussion as to what kind of dinner they were going to get. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt. What a fun table. I played for another hour and a bit and maintained my profit and decided to leave when 2 sober aggressive young guys joined the table. Meanwhile Miss Arizona still hadn't come back which was still a topic of discussion as people were waiting for seats. I made a profit of 107 dollars and had a fun night.
