Well we leave for Vegas in 18 days and are pretty excited to go. Shannon hasn't been there since she was a kid, and last time I was there I was a 20 year old constantly looking over my shoulder as I played blackjack. It will be nice to go back and be able to sit in the casino, legally, and relax with cocktails.
Ron and I decided to head over to the Livermore Casino on Friday to prep ourselves for Vegas. However, the only thing we prepared for was how to lose money (and, hopefully, that does not happen in Vegas). We sat at a 3 -20 spread limit game, where the blinds are $1 & $3 and the max bet and/or raise is $20. We got murdered. I got no cards (best hand I was dealt all night was pocket 4's) and Ron got a ton of good hands dealt to him, only to get beat by a player that should never have been in the hand. People were taking down $150+ pots with King high or a set of sixes they hit on the river. I left a broken man, but knowing if I had a big enough stack, in enough time the table would be mine for the taking. Just gross.

hope you enjoy Vegas! in case you decide to get into any tournaments, remember that they raise the blinds there very fast, so you have to play hands you'd usually ignore: 4-6 suited, 7-9 suited, k-8, a-5, that kind of stuff.
and, if you can take one decent hand every two or three times around, you should be able to keep enough chips to let everyone bleed out and at least end up in the bottom part of the money.
also, the single malt selection has really improved. I didn't stop in, but when driving by, I saw Paris has a bar right on Las Vegas Blvd that looked pretty stocked. may be worth a stop.
again, have fun!
