Vegas Day 6

We got up early and decided to walk down to the Venetian and Treasure Island. I love the inside of the Venetian and always make a point of going there but I like so many others can not stand the smell in there. Its something they are pumping in the air. I really wanted to play in their poker room but after a few minutes I always have to get out of there. I keep hoping someone there will grab a brain and realize that some people can't stand the smell. They must have had some complaints you would think??

We headed over to Treasure Island. Played a few slots there and walked by the Poker Room which was completely dead but it was only 11 AM.
Walked back to the hotel had a couple hours at the pool and decided to head over to watch Big Elvis at Bills. We have seen him a couple times and its always an entertaining free hour. We sat with a couple from Pittsburgh and got in a great discussion about the American Medical system. Being from Canada they were quizzing us about our system. Boy did they have some wrong information. Our system isn't perfect but every Canadian is covered, can go to any hospital or medical clinic and get treated. It costs us very little. We were floored that they paid like 800 a month and had a 2500 dollar deductible. It seems they have been getting ads that our system is horrible. That is so untrue and I guess there are factions in the U.S. that don't want a reasonably priced system that covers everyone.

After watching Big Elvis decided to take the Deuce downtown. We had never taken the Deuce before having always taken a cab down. It was fine,relaxing and cheap. We wandered around downtown. I was really impressed with the Golden Nugget and would stay there if I ever decided to stay off the Strip. We ate dinner at Tony Romas. Food was okay but again terrible service and the waiters tip reflected the level of service we got. He never once came back after we got our meals to ask if we wanted anything or how things were. He wasn't even friendly when we were ordering.

We took the Deuce back to the strip and had the funniest bus driver I have ever met. She was talking on the speaker the whole ride. She had the whole bus laughing. Telling people what to do and if they didn't she was going to stop and have a Conversation with them. She was telling the ladies who were standing to snuggle in close to the guys. It went on and on. By the time we got back to our hotel my sides were hurting from laughing so much.

Played a tournament at Osheas again. Not a lot of interesting hands. I think there were 15 in the tournament. When were down to 5 I got dealt KQ. Flop comes KJ6 rainbow. Being somewhat short stacked I pushed. He had called. Had J9?? of course he caught his J on the river and I was out in 5th.

We walked over to Bill's and listened to the Karaoke. A lady got up and did a tribute to Patrick Swayze who had just died. She sang a couple songs from the movie Ghost and was it was really entertaining.

Headed back to the hotel and looking forward to playing tomorrow at Caesars Hotel where they have a great noon tournament.
