Las Vegas Dilemma
I’ve never been to Las Vegas……….. but that is soon about to change.
I can’t tell you how happy those words make me feel but already I have a dilemma about what my trip has in store for me.
I consider to be a poker player and somewhat of a gambler. I consider myself to be worldly and cultured. I consider myself to be a drunken tourist idiot. All of these qualities are at odds with each other and all of them can be indulged in Las Vegas (not so much the cultured but I suppose going to the Grand Canyon counts). You see I’ve wangled the trip as part of a stag do for someone who I’m not even that friendly with. Everyone else on the trip form a great set of lads and I’m sure we’ll have the time of our lives but as I’ll only have six days in our Mecca, I’m already regretting not booking an extra week for myself.
You see, we will undoubtedly be getting very, very drunk every single day. So that’s something ticked off. But you see, the rest of my mates are not poker players, they are simple English drunken men who enjoy themselves. The thing is, I want to milk Vegas for everything I can. I want to do the Canyon in a chopper. I want to play craps whilst fit women tug at my elbow (please, bear with me here), I want to bluff Johnny Chan off a pot to prove to myself that I can do it 
. I want to eat free food and drink free drink because it’s available everywhere isn’t it? I want to wander round the casinos not knowing what day or time it is. I want to sit and talk and laugh with my friends over a few beers in some great bars. I want to stand and stare open mouthed in the street at how big everything is. I want to meet Elvis, see a show, hug a stranger, get lost, get drunk, eat too much, lose money, win money, wake at 4am and go to sleep at 3pm. I want to do all of this and more and I only have six days to do it.
I’ll let you know how I get on!

Got something to say?
you will do exactly 3% of all of that and wont know where the time has gone.
in 5 visits, i have yet to see a show, yet to see the grand canyon, yet to see elvis, yet to play craps.
however, i still had the time of my life 5 times over…
hard to explain, but once you come back, you will know what i mean
I liked wolf gang pucks at MGM and the steak house at circus circus, I love Bellagio and watching all the high class hookers at 3am chasing fat buisness men, its sort of backwards world where beutiful women chase middle aged, over weight, balding men.
I reckon will organise a UKPI gatecrash whilst you’re there. Any takers?
6 days, no chance!
You can fit a lot of stuff iin 6 weeks but heavy drinking and gambling will slow down the tourist stuff massively!
Have fun Squirms but really 6 days aint enough. Going with non poker players too, well that will stem your pokerings now won’t it. Still treat it as a fact finding mission ready for the UKPI outing MattL is arranging.
