    You're in Vegas again?
    Yeah, I'm here once or twice a month for work. Most of my visits I come and go the same day. Whenever I'm here over night, I try to hit up a 1/2 sit and go.
    So far this year, I'm up about $350!
    I've had the best luck at the Stratosphere. Very loose tables with lots of silly big bluffs.
    Tonight, I was pecking away and hit J's. Flop was J, K, A. Short stack went all in, and drained another. Was worried about the straight, but other guy wasn't too aggressive. Was up $120, got smoked on a low % river. Up $85 or so, I tossed the deal some favors and got dinner.
    :D

    Yeah, they will as long as its reasonable. I usually stay in Henderson though. Staying on the strip makes me stay out too late :lol:

    Went to Settebello's for dinner tonight. Phenomenal pizza!!! It's in Henderson, but it's without a doubt the best pizza in Vegas!
    They have a 900 degree handmade brick oven, and their technique has gotten some approval of some elite pizza authority in Italy. I guess only a handful of places in the US have the approval. Either way....awesome, awesome pizza!!!

    I was just reading through the thread looking for stuff for me and a friend to do when we go see Ed,and I was wondering who else is going to see either of the EV shows in Vegas? :D
    I will walk w/my hands bound
    I will walk w/my face blood
    I will walk w/my shadow flag

    Memories back when she was smooth and strong
    and waiting for the world to come along...

    Stories? You want stories from a bachelor party? Sorry, this is an all-ages forum :D .

    I will say however that five minutes after I posted that I was heading to the Bellagio buffet, I met up with my friends and they decided without me that it was "too far" and "too expensive", and instead they opted for the buffet at Treasure Island. So that never happened.

    A lot of things we planned never actually happened. Thursday was a shitshow of astronomic proportions, kind of like "The Hangover", minus the roofies (i think).

    Saturday we traveled to a pool party, but the groom forgot his ID back at the hotel so that plan fell through. We made our own party at the TI pool instead, renting a cabana and racking up quite the bottle service tab.

    The majorly hungover gun range was amazingly fun, and the groom costed nothing there, so that was a great bonus.

    As for steak dinner, we did Bobby Flay's Mesa in Caesar's Palace. Most of us said it was the best steak we'd ever had; I was the exception. For me it was the second-best (I had some great Alberta beef last summer).

    The tables were quite kind to me and my crew. Three of us all hit big on a Craps table at the same time so we felt real good for the rest of the night. In fact, I won a bit right after we got there and I was never down. I played mostly craps, and never did get around to Pai Gow.

    All in all I've got the bug again and I want to go back again real soon. I see there's a few tickets for the Eddie shows...
