update from bash?

Been throwing back a few brews with some of the boys this afternoon, heading out to dinner tonight with some others. That's all I've got.

Who you with Willie?

Since the blog bit isn't real user-friendly for idiots like me yet, I'll post a few photos here...

Welcome to the Golden Nugget

Welcome SBR! That fat guy stands there all day to direct barreled in posters to the shortest check-in line.

Sportsbook in the Golden Nugget.

Pool and shark tank this morning shortly before they opened up. That security guard on the right ain't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, though he does have most of his teeth still.

Looking east down Freemont from in front of the old Plaza hotel.

I had a blast at the little bar to the left of the Nugget sportsbook in March. Nice in there.

Willie Bee · 08-22-08, 01:47 PM

Yeah, I watched a lot of the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the USA-Argentina game in there earlier this morning. Pretty nice place overall. I'm actually impressed with something that Tillman Fertita has done for once, except for changing the menu at the Grotto.

Isn't that the bar where they ended up being dicks later on and wouldn't put the NBA game on for us?

Yes. But it was fun during the day. I was so tanked at that point I didn't even know what was going on.

The Prick threw his drink on an Asian dude that took a hit with 14 when the dealer had a 5. I guess we won't be playing blackjack at Plaza again this trip.

Bread · 08-22-08, 02:02 PM

Plaza is nasty anyways. LOL...The Prick don't play.

Not much on my end. Havent ran into SBR guys yet, heading downtown today. Was down all night then hit $800 on video poker and $400 on some bonus slot machine. MGM Grand was paying out nicely. Walked the strip last night.

Everyone check out the MGM City Center. RIght now it is the largest construction project in North American. Its the size of some small towns! 12 people have died already building it

I wish I was rich.

Few more shots from the bash, starting with my much better half standing by one of her machines...

And here's a good portion of this afternoon's poker players. I amazed everyone, I believe, by not finishing last.
