We just got back from Vegas and I must say, it is good to be home. Usually time flies while we are there but for some reason I was ready to come home today. Paul had been there for almost two weeks and I, only four days. We played a lot of poker which was fun. For the first two nights we played at the MGM. The first night we (Katie, Justin, Paul, Myself, and Katie's best friend from high school, Sarah) went out to dinner at the always delicious Mona Mi Gabi. After that, because Katie refuses to drink any alcoholic drink that tastes like alcohol, we stopped by one of those novelty frozen drink stands. After that, we drove to the MGM and played some 1/2. It was really fun! I was playing really tight, but aggressive and at the end of the night I was up about $200. Katie was up $500 at one point but then got very unlucky. She still ended the night in the black though! :)
On Sat. morning we all drove to the strip. Paul headed over to the Bellagio for some 5/10 and the rest of us went to Planet Hollywood. Katie and I entered an $80 tournament. We made it through the first three levels but then we both busted in the fourth. After that, we all sat down at a 1/2 table. It was terrible! I don't know if I made the poker Gods mad somehow but they were definitely not smiling on me that day, nor were they smiling on anyone else. I'm pretty sure we all lost that night! I only played about 10 hands during that whole time. My set ran into quads, my KK ran into a straight (I asked the guy if he had the cards that made the straight, I was proud of that at least!) and every other time I was in a pot I got the back end of the deal. I was only down about $300 so I guess I was about even for the trip.
On Sunday Katie and Sarah drove to L.A. for the day so I just hung around the house. I had a lot of fun on the trip but it was a little too chilly to do anything outside which is maybe why I was ready to come home. There is only so much time I can spend in a casino :) I'm sure we will be back in no time. I am looking forward to Lake Mead this summer and bumper tubes!
