      Fingers crossed man!

      No idea about weed stores in LV. Think that might be Cali and not NV? There are a couple of smokers planning to be there though so someone will know I guess.
      No stores yet; it's been legalized but framework isn't in place to open anything other than medical stores. I've heard June 1st at the target date, but don't know how quickly shops will open after guidelines passed.

          What you give

          Love song


          All the above very good songs. Come to Vegas on Saturday and go to the concert with us.
          Not sure how Tesla missed me. Don't know the songs. Lead singer looks/sounds like a cross between Steven Tyler and the lead singer from Foreigner, which was the stuff I did listen to.

          Maybe a bit late in the 80s for me, when I was more busy with career and family than music.

                    Just booked my flight. Flying in on the 17th in the afternoon. Departing AM on the 21st, have to get back to NY for a wedding.

                    Bringing my son and nephew. Graduation present for my nephew. Their first trip to Vegas.

                    Still waiting on my host to confirm the Golden Nugget (he had to get approval for the Saturday night) but I also booked Planet Hollywood as a backup (comped with $35 per night resort fee.)

                      PH seems like the best Caeser's property out there. Did some research when I was still comp'd.

                      Prob where I'll go if opti doesn't let me throw my shit in his room for a night.

                      Bringing 21yo's to vegas sounds like the most miserable thing a person could do.

                        The guy that owns the Plaza steakhouse is a famous old school Las Vegas lawyer to the mob owners too. Cheap drinks/food on Tuesday nights with a business card from the legal profession and if enough interested he hosts dinner for groups and tells stories about the old days and legal cases. Right up your alley!

                          They are actually 17 lol. I already told them that they'll be on their own while I'm out gambling. Gonna take them to concert and we're going to dodger game on Monday. I also rented a car to go to Hoover dam, etc. making it a little vacation...

                          planet hollywood was the only hotel that offered me comped rooms with my total rewards card. I don't play at their properties often

                            I never saw Oscar but I saw the Marilyn impersonator when I had dinner there. Very amusing! Nice restaurant!

                                    No surprise I guess I will not be making it to the wsop. Health issues have ravaged my family both physically and financially. I wish you all the luck and hope one of you takes down a event or two.

                                    As for me I've made a choice. I'm not going to be coming back to this forum. I'm going to login daily to get my points, which I will ship to everyone I owe in this order. Triple Double, Auto Donk , and then chuckythegoat.

                                    I will probably not be playing poker anymore. I've accepted that I'm bed ridden and useless to my family. When a man can't provide he is no longer a man. I'm sorry to everyone here for any hard feelings they may harbor. Best of luck to everyone.

                                        Donk....if I make it to Vegas (which is looking favorable at the moment), I will give you a $100 bill if you put on a 3 min display as seen in your video. Condition of bet: must be in a Las Vegas dance club/bar with me and other SBR members there to cheer you on. And club cannot be considered empty.

                                          I'll attend to witness this. I'll also add another $100 to sweeten the pot.

                                                depends on just how gay/closeted gay the sbr contingent is.... plus i'm sure there'll be some "alternative lifestyle" livin' spectators that will probably want some stick too.....

                                                i'll charge double if someone slips me a viagra and you get the Donk's "Full Attention".....

                                                my wife already yelled out at me this morning when she saw me sippin' mimosas and practicing those bad ass dance moves poolside, "WHAT THE FUK ARE YOU DOIN'?!?!?!?!"

                                                I calmly replied, "I gotta do a few dance moves for the boys in Vegas in three weeks, and this shit ain't easy"

                                                her: "you look like a f'n idiot!!!!"

                                                me: "that's the whole F'n point!!!!'

                                                    My new host confirmed Saturday - Wednesday for me at Golden Nugget

                                                    I also have Planet Hollywood booked Sunday - Wednesday in case I don't like the Nugget or want a change of scenery on the strip

                                                    I've never been to downtown, only on the strip. People at work (women) are telling downtown is awful. Is this true? I imagine they are drama queens...

                                                      I know the last time I was downtown it was pretty scary....and it was the daytime. My wife was pretty uncomfortable walking with her purse. Felt like someone was going to grab it and run at any moment.

                                                      I'm considering staying down there since it appears that's where 90% of the people are staying (and the wife can't make it). The savings would pretty much freeroll my first daily deep stack also.

                                                              There was some homeless types hanging out every 10-15 yards. One was yelling super loud at some veteran in a wheel chair (who was begging for money). Maybe in the evening it doesn't seem so bad as more normal types are out. Plus the more YOU drink....the less you notice weird things.

                                                                    My only hesitation is that one time when my wife and i were there, we walked down the street ( the road to the strip) to pick up a taxi at night and we were cased/followed/accosted by a couple of less than savory types.

                                                                    Luckily, we did not stop, kept walking and got in a taxi before anything happened. I am 99% sure we would have been mugged if we stopped and did not get a taxi shortly after they started talking to us.
