twiley Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Actually, its pretty nice! The LV Hilton was booked up by the time I decided to come so it was either the Embassey Suites(2 of them here), a couple of Hampton Inns, or the Doubletree out at the airport. This Embassey Suites is right behind the Hard Rock Cafe, has a nice view, but is off the strip. Nice big comfortable roon. It has a shuttle that takes you to the strip every half hour. I have a car though so I am going to valet at TI, play there until noon. Then I am going to play in that daily noon tourney they have at Caesars. I REALLY like the structure of the Caesars tourney.

wiegie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 When we exit the plane, security was there to meet the Charlotte guys about them bringing liquor on the plane. How the f*ck did they get the liquor past security in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 How the f*ck did they get the liquor past security in the first place? Very easy. I took four of the mini-bottles of crown royal on the plane with me my last trip to Vegas in March. I dont think its illegal, but if you get drunk and loud, then they get a little upset I had coupons for free drinks from SWA this time, but didnt use them because they gave us all free coctails the entire trip!!

Vicky Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 How the f*ck did they get the liquor past security in the first place? You could probably buy some in the duty free shops and sneak it in carry-on baggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have a conference call for work that I have to be on this morning. Then I am off to the strip for some poker. There is nothing like the feeling of approaching a poker room, looking at all the chips that are begging to jump into my stack. I will outline my plan of attack later. First up Treasure Island and then Caesars tournament. Tonight I want to play the historical wild $2/$5 game at the Palms. I plan to play some at Rio tonight too.

But I know alot of stories about him from my friends in the Country music biz. And I know a guy who went to ETSU with him. And I have seen some of the hottest chicks in America with him. So, no, dude aint ghey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xMRogers Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey man - won't be able to link up with you on this trip either (although fleeting "f-it, i'm out of work - now's the time TO go to vegas" have gone through my mind). Enjoy, take some money from some people, get a lap dance (or 30) and stay non-sober..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ok Spain, this is F'd up... Wednesday was my birthday as well, and that afternoon I went to see my doctor for chronic neck and shoulder problems that have become pretty much unbearable over the last couple of months... in fact I had my MRI this morning. Then that night, after my kid fell asleep (and my wife was still at work) I watched poker on TV. My life is screwed up enough without having to share a parallel life with you dude!
