    Thanks! I'm still preparing myself for the wads of cash that I know won't return with me.

    you can double or triple those wads....that's why there's gambling :roll:

    I've been doing Craps training for the past week, so hopefully my practice games are an indication of how well I'll do.

    I've talked to my buddys and I think we've agreed the Bellagio buffet is a must, along with a good steak joint, while some of the other suggestions are going to be played by ear. Of course if I see a Fat Tuesdays I'll be sure to stop, with or without my friends.


    Nice! When you want to get your drink on cheaply just pony up to a Pai Gow table. :lol:

    Late night Pai-Gow is my plan.

    Pai Gow is the best. Especially if you can post up with some friends. You can sit there with $100 and itll last hours and hours of free drinks. Its slow-paced and social.

    Last time I hit up Vegas my brother told me I had to try Pai Gow. I didn't get around to it then but this time around I will.

    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!!!

    Being in Vegas for the weekend I wouldn't anticipate an answer to this question until next Tuesday but how did you like the buffet? :corn:
