    Back from Vegas - Had a great time

    Flew home from Las Vegas yesterday and still thinking back to the whole trip. Hard to even know where to begin.

    I enjoyed meeting so many people who I've known from the forums over the years. It was also the first time I finally met Blondie, Sam, Shari, Justin, and bobbyfk after working with all of them for a long time.

    Friday's reception was great - loved the truly professional photo shoot with the models we had. Loshak doing the rounds of interviews is always a good time also.

    Saturday's horse racing contest went well and we were really happy to have 28 entrants, exceeding our expectations. I liked us all being in the sports book together cheering all the action on - had the real Vegas feel to it all the way. And a BIG THANKS to Blondie for helping me with the contest that day!

    Saturday night's dinner was worth holding my appetite for all day. My mother attended with me and enjoyed John Pizzi's comedy a lot.

    Had Sunday to myself and I ended up getting a cabana at the Golden Nugget's Hideout Pool. Never did a cabana in Vegas before and I'd have to say it was an awesome experience! Really felt like the biggest VIP in the world there.

    Sunday night, I took my mother over to see Celine Dion at Caesars. Was a nice show - and a lot different from when I last saw her about seven years ago. Golden Nugget even supplied me with a limo there and back after all of my casino play - after leaving the cabana, I had to keep all the VIP treatment going!

    And speaking of the casino, I enjoyed playing lots of blackjack with Iwin, Mug and Paco. Paco is a riot at the blackjack table - still remember him sitting there with his gigantic bottle of Johnny Walker Black!

    Ended up on the plus side there and I'm sure I'll be on Golden Nugget's mailing list for a while from it. Hope the GN still has money for bobbyfk's paycheck there this week!

    Was my first trip ever to downtown Vegas and I'm looking forward to going back again sometime. Hope we keep doing the Bash's there that are in Vegas - it's definitely the perfect spot for them!

    Thanks again to SBR_John, Shannon, Sam, Bill, Lou, Blondie, Shari, Peter, and everyone else that made this a great time for all of us!

    She enjoyed meeting you also, Mindy! I took her there to celebrate a milestone birthday and her retirement from work last month.

    Had a great time with u also reload. I still can't believe they let me play with that big ass bottle go over an hour. As soon as the new pit boss came, she made me give it up


    Glad u made a comeback at the table!

    Paco - I think you got to get hooked up with this chick on your next trip there! Just sit there with the big bottle of it again in the high limit pit being a play-ah!

    Jim, you're out of line. Jim, some people care about their mothers you jerk off. Show some respect. Guy has balls. If you're too scared to take your mother on a trip because jerk offs will poke fun, you're truly not a man.

    They all wanted him out of there so bad! But Paco stood his ground - threw the dealer a tip once in a while and kept being himself. In the old-school world of the Golden Nugget, those $5 tips go a long way.

    Have to also give him credit that he gambled until the last possible minute before running off to the airport. He's a Hall Of Famer all the way!

    I think she was actually turned on by you, Paco. Was just playing hard to get.

    It's all a big act in Vegas - they'll act upset or whatever and play all this psychology stuff. As long as you keep the cash coming, you get to sit there all night.
