Sin City

Where does all my time go. It seems that I have been busier then ever this year. With working and adding at least one new bar it may even get worse. Here's a short update.

Went to Las Vegas this last weekend. Wanted to take my wife somewhere before she went back to work after having surgery six weeks ago. This was not a gambling trip but did get a little time in. I mostly played blackjack and ended slightly ahead at that. Played one 4 hr cash poker game session of 1-2 no limit. Bought in for 200 and cashed out for 201. I guess you can call that a winning session. I was up about a hundred when my aces were cracked by sevens flopping a set. I was able to get away at the turn and hold my losses to only a hundred. Had a nice time in Vegas. Saw the show Phantom at the Venetian. It was very good. Would say that my wife enjoyed it more then me but it was a good choice for an evening out. Had the most fun on Friday night when we went downtown. People seemed friendlier, that is workers, then out on the strip. I have never cared that much for downtown, but wouldn't think twice to go back again. Drove to the Red Rock Canyon. It is a beautiful place and especially at this time of year with the snow that had fallen their last week. It was funny watching people that don't see snow very often playing in it. I have lots of pictures up on facebook if you would like to see. The most surprising thing about this trip was how dead it was there. On a weekend when it should be busy most of the casinos and restaurants were unusually quiet. It must be the economy. Time for work. I will have to add more later.
