Just got back yesterday from Vegas. My staff and I had a great time, I won money, I had great food, had great drinks, I did not sleep much and best of all, I licked a Playboy Bunny........in Blackjack at the Playboy Club. :)

I played in a 91 man tourney at Ceasar's Tuesday night. It was a $60 Buyin with no rebuys. It started at 11pm, and I walked out at 4:30 am. I made the Final table and finished in 8th place. The blinds were 1500-3000, and I had 10k left when I got AJ in the sm blind. I went all in, hoping to either steal from the limper and the BB, but the limper called with AQ and that was the end of my tourney. The payout was $200, so not much for over 5 hrs of work, but since my best hand all night was only 2 pair, I was proud of my finish.

I played cash games at Bellagio and The Palms. Both times I bought in for $500 and played 2-5 no limit. Lost $50 at Bellagio playing about 1 1/2 hrs, but after losing $250 in one hand when I flopped a set of 10s, and lost on suckout flush draw on river, I felt pretty good.

At the Palms, I cashed out for $850(played 2 hrs), so all in all, the poker was a success.

I taught a few of my girls how to play Blackjck and Craps, and we all won money and had a great time doing so.

If you guys ever get the chance to see Danny Gans at the Mirage, go do it. It was the best show I have ever seen in Vegas by far. The guys is truly amazing.

Went to see Penn and Teller at our Hotel on Wednesday night, and enjoyed that show too.

I bet on San Antonio against the Bucks and alas, I jinxed them into stopping their streak.
:depressed

I bet on Aggies -13 1/2 and won that one, but it looked like a loss for sure after Penn took a 2 pt lead in 2nd half.

Anyway, it is good to be back home and now I can sleep for more than 3 hrs a night. :)

I am a dentist. Not at this minute, but I will keep you in mind :)

There were 12 of us including my wife and son. I take my office once a year of a trip somewhere, either to Orlando, Vegas or skiing. They deserve it, because they are great employees and good friends too. We all get along great and have fun together in and out of the office......great girls really.

Vegas is always a blast. Glad you had fun!

Jim and 10 women in Vegas?!! Sounds like a lethal combination.

My wife worked for a dentist that took his office on a trip every Christmas.
She never went on a trip though. She quit after a few months because when she took the job he was supposed to be moving his office closer to the house and he changed his mind. I don't think he had as many employees.

Thanks, Manny. We need to get some guys together and make a road trip there just to play poker. I do not even ike playing Blackjack or Craps any more, but since I was with my girls, I had to play with them.

My husband was in Vegas in this week too. He was there from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday evening. He made it back just in time for mine and my daughter's B-Day's. He did get to see Phantom of The Opera while he was there. He said it was awesome. He was at some training thing with like 5,000 other people. It was a mad house.

Speaking of male strippers, the Chipindale strippers have their show at the Rio where we were staying, and they were usually in the casino signing autographs and taking pictures with whoever wanted to have their pictures taken with them.

I am going to the gym starting today.

you should take your winnings and load it to a needy college student.. who could pay you back a couple of years later.
