Need to post something to get that drunk post about sisters off the top story. So here is another drunk post about my trip last weekend to Vegas.
Bellagio: Hate it even more than before. Dealers are solid and nice, but the fucking foot traffic is too much. It just feels like an airport. Way too loud and just way too crowded. But not at the tables, just people wandering around. And they don't play any music, only live soft jazz by a piano players placed around the casino. I never noticed it before.
Bellagio: How slow is it now in Vegas? I had my pick of $25 BJ tables on Saturday evening. The craps tables stayed at $10 the entire time. When Carol, Susan, and Johnny were looking for a $25 Pai Gow table on Sunday and there weren't any open, the Pit Boss came over and changed a $50 table to a $25 table. Not too strange you say? Well there were already three people sitting at the table. Now I have seen the pit boss change the table limits lower when it was dead, but never when people were already seated at the table.
South Pointe: New casino south of Vegas on the way home to LA, but seemed like it was 20 years old. $5 tables which was nice, and gambling degenerates as their craps' dealers. About 5 different times, I had to remind the dealer to place my odds because he was watching the Ravens game. When the Ravens didn't make a 4th and 1, the entire craps' crew, including the pit boss, went bezerk. I have a feeling that Eric and I will be making a run to that casino.
Ultimate Texas Holdem: I love this game. LOVE IT so much that while I played it at the Mirage on Sunday morning, I didn't mind the 60 year old guy hovering over my shoulder the entire 90 minutes I played. I was having so much fun, that I would show him the cards while I looked at it and at times asked him if I should play the hand. He was actually more excited than I was when I was winning.
The Bank: We all went to the big dance club at the Bellagio. Very amazed at the amount of sluts still hanging out at expensive clubs in Vegas. Good time, except for the DJ, who only played a song for about 20 seconds before mixing in a new one. I would get excited about hearing a song and before you know it they changed the song. Sucked.
Shopping: So Jorge Blogsada was out there with me and he decides to show up without packing any shorts. So we spent Friday night walking around the stores and the malls looking for a pair of khakis. But there was a problem. Jorge is a little larger than me, so he needs a something larger than a size 38. And wouldn't ya know it, there are no stores on the strip that have a pair of shorts with anything larger than a size 38. Well, that's not true. Jorge and I found a pair that would of fit him, but the pair of shorts were $210.
All in all it was a great time. Got to see Jorge Blogsada and his wife, along with Carol's family. All I have to say is that the next time I get married, I'm doing it in Vegas. It was perfect.

Perfect post!
1) Bellagio: Wow - you nailed it with the airport analogy. If you play the Wheel at McCarran - and, let's face it, who doesn't? - it's the same as the Bellagio experience.
2) Has anyone else heard this happening before? Table limits being lowered while people were at a table? Layup- you weren't drunk, were you?
3) Southpoint - yes, the dealers sound nice and all, but I hate it when I have to keep correcting the dealers. I do that in Iowa all the time. However, they usually make mistakes in my favor, like forgetting to take the odds down on come bets on the come-out roll. They leave the come bet and the odds up there.
4) There will be a treatise on Ultimate Texas Hold em on this blog in February. From my research, this game has a 2.2% house advatange, which is less than Pai Gow poker.
And the optinal "sucker" bet is <2% house advantage...wow...
5) $210 shorts? Where the hell is a Wal Mart? Mesh shorts with pockets - your best option.
