Vegas (aftermath pending)

edited June 2017 in Poker Chat
I've previously toyed with the idea of doing a Vegas journal (diary, if you will), and with my next trip out there creeping up on the horizon, and future trips very much up in the air due to personal circumstances (in a positive way), this seems like a good time to crack on with it.

I'm far from a Vegas veteran a la Tikay, but this will be my 6th time to Sin City. It really is paradise for those of us who love, like, or tolerate the game. The analogy of a kid at Christmas is very apt indeed and the end of the month can't come round quick enough.

Whilst I'll be spending plenty of time gambling, its not all about the poker. A boys gotta eat and drink too :) So expect tales from the tables coupled with plenty of off felt stuff.

I've got 7 days and 7 nights, from the 29th, to cram in as much as possible, and I'll be reliant on my phone (and battery life) to do updates, so they could be sparse, rambling, inebriated, disjointed, or maybe massively tedious.

Will kick off with the journey there, which isn't particularly straightforward, but as always there is a method behind the madness.....

    So do you always post from your phone then?

    Have a good trip and don't let the poker get in the way of the poker.

    Looking forward to this diary, should be a good one. Tip for you, take a charger, that should help with the battery :)

    Shame you aren't out there the same time as us, would like to see what you are like in real life as you certainly divide opinion amongst the forum regulars!

    Have a good time.

    Cheers
    Greg.

    Let me guess - this will be his outbound journey.

    Manchester - Dublin - Oslo - Paris CDG - London Heathrow - JFK New York - LAX Los Angeles - McCarron Las Vegas.
     
    Takes 9 days, but saves £7.

    Ironically, I try to avoid posting from my phone as its always littered with mistakes, and we all hate the grammar police chirping up, right?

    Look after yourself Phants.

    Thats a wild stab in the dark Pat, but you may have guessed correctly.

    Hopefully they won't stop us from leaving for not tipping enough this time....

    Thanks Greg.

    Who knows, maybe I'll fluke my way to a VLV final, bubble it, but then have someone drop out so I can take their place.

    If you met me in real life, you'd be incredibly disappointed, plenty of people here can confirm this :)

    Have a great time when you go, make sure you take the correct adapter!
