Vegas Day One
Well I arrived at the airport 20 min before boarding. I actually for the first time got a B boarding for Southwest. I always seem to get C30 or worst. But this time I got B29 which pretty much guarantee me a seat at the window. Everyone boarded pretty fast till they announced they had a special guest that required extra time to seat. It was a disabled person and it took a while to get him loaded in. When the plane landed it was pretty much the same everyone wanted to let him out first because the flight was actually quite hard for him. So the first few people got out and they allow the airport staff to assist the person out. Which took about 30 min or so but now it was pretty much over an hour late now. When i got to the hotel i tried to do the 20 dollar tip trick to upgrade my room to a nicer one and it worked like a charm! I was very happy with the room i received. I meet up with Nik and Tony and we walked over to the Beligio poker room. That's where i met up with pika and Deuce. After a couple hours of standing around, couple of my coworkers arrived in Vegas and i decided to grab lunch with them. We went to Cafe Babba Reba or something like that for tiapia's. It was good stuff but the portions has changed. We did a little shopping at the Fashion outlet and we chilling to dinner which was at 745 at Mesa Grill. I took a little short nap and met everyone at the Mirage sports book and walked over to Mesa Grill. The Tuna Steak was to die for it was awesome. Even more awesome was the Pesto Mashed potato. Afterwards we went to the Rio to watch Shifty in the world series 1500nl event. Saw some famous poker player and decided to take of to the Mirage with Fender Shabba deuce and pika. After watch a hirlious heads up match with Shabba and deuce, we got to Mirage and i joined the 10/20 game. It was pretty much a bad table selection. Everyone was gunning for 2 players that played every hand. I pretty much was the one that seemed to donate my chips to the two chip dumpers. After being down 2 stacks Santi shows up and ask how is the table i pretty much tell him it sucks ass and i think i am done. As i was talking to him the game breaks. Oh well.... the next thing I know is its off to the Carnegie deli. Afterwards it was off to the room to catch some sleep.
