Table Tango

They say you get lucky just before you die.  I know I’m going to live a helluva long fucking time.  Yes, I’m basing this on last night’s poker play.  I played for two hours before I won my first pot - flopped a set - SCORE!  (more…)

*edit*  I just received news from Donna Harris that Dennis Jackson passed away tonight.  Please put the Mirage on your calendar Thursday evening.  Share some poker time with your fellow players and friends and help make the tournament a success.  If you don’t feel like playing, stop in and share a moment of your time.*edit*

If you’ve fallen behind in your reading, this is an update to my last post.  Our own Grubby sent me the flier in PDF and .JPG format - thank you kindly, Grub! (more…)

It’s been over two months since the last update - and it shows in the whole playing field that used to be part Boardwalk, Bellagio employee parking, tram to Monte Carlo, and Harmon Avenue as it connected to Las Vegas Blvd AKA The Strip. All of these photos were taken from the 10th floor of the employee parking garage. (more…)

The glorious day of implosion and losing more Las Vegas history is set for March 13, 2007 at 2:30 a.m.  I’m still trying to figure a way to watch it without being right in the dust zone and stuck in a million other bodies that are going to be there.  I watched the Sands go down and in those days the digital camera wasn’t.

Wayne had a request.  He wanted to give a dealer/friend some reciprocal dealer/player appreciation and suggested that we go to the Monte Carlo, plus it had been some time since Wayne had been to the Monte Carlo.  Color me in that graph - like eight years since I walked through there and that’s what I did, a walk through, I didn’t stop to look around.  (more…)

Out with the old, in with the new.  Bellagio’s Gardens always please the senses - no matter the theme - it is a complete delight, from the colors and design to the moist, pleasant air that one can feel as soon as they enter.  (more…)
