vegas, my story (now with pictures!)

here's the story. now, i'm not going to recount every little detail, just some stuff.

thursday - arrived, took a nap, played a little craps and pai gow. then the woody's showed up, with their friend russel. nice guy, we met @ woody's wedding. anyway, we hung out around the new frontier for a little, then went downtown for a bit (craps & slots), back to the n.front and played some blackjack.

friday - watched a little germany in the morning, and then went to the time share sales pitch. that is, after all, how we had 4 days & 3nights for free in vegas. want details how you can go for the same deal? anyway, after that we did something. and then we went back downtown, played some poker and some slots. i am unashamed, i love downtown vegas. then back to the new frontier for some more cards.

saturday - got up early and watched england. then went back to sleep for a while. then, went downtown to binions and played in a poker tourney. now, they have 4 of these a day, so it's not like it was some elite deal. but, there were over 70 in this tourney. i made it to the final tenth, finishing tenth. lowest payday spot. not huge money, but i won back my entry fee plus a little. heather and sara went to the wax museum, and shopping. so, heather was pretty tuckered out. she ended up staying in the rest of the evening. woody, sara, russel and i went to dinner @ il fornio (in n.y. n.y.) and then to a comedy show @ the riveria. it was free with our sales pitch. after that, we went to gilly's for a bit, then to harrah's outdoor deal. then back to new frontier. then hotel for sleep.

sunday - the woody's went home early this day, and we were flying out @ 8:30 p. so, i watched some soccer, heather and i played some penny slots. we went to some malls and to the airport.

and so went a fun, but tiring weekend. but, of course, i got up @ 5:45 to watch soccer. (the u.s. looked like crap this morning in the 2nd game. they better win the next 2.)

and now to the photo's

poker legend doyle brunson, at binion's.


heather and hugh. he offered her a job apparently.


sara and hugh. no job offer. maybe he's got some sort of aversion to pregnant ladies.


brad pitt, i know that you are recently divorced, and just had a kid, but stay away from my wife.
