let's go crazy

Wahoo! Purple Reign is in the house...err...i mean, on the street. Third time seeing them, buy first time on Freemont street.

travis is in trouble

guess who got knocked out of another tournament by her own husband...

the big kids' table

shawn makes it to the final table with ez and t-bone in the Plaza 7pm tourney.

I have been sucking all day. BJ no better. Hopefully third time is a charm...
Turns out I get 2nd place. My pocket aces get cracked when my opponent's J8 turns into a straight with 7 9 10 on the flop.

knocked out

I sucked in that binion's tourney. KQ with AKQ on the flop. Two others had J 10. This is Peter, the dealer, at shawn and erin's bj table. His handle-bar moustache is about a foot wide and he loves to insult his players.

no horseshoe

but still a good place for poker. Travis & I have paid our $70 to play with about 80 others. Shuffle up!

forgot to mention...

we found out the plaza poker room now closes at 2am, so no midnight tourney. That's why we spent the evening at mss. Gonna try our first poker game at binion's at 2pm.

cracked!

travis' pocket kings got busted by a rivered ace.

meet up

Finally hook up with erin and travis at the plaza. T is gonna get paid in a sit and go!

hi!

freemont street

daylight is painful

red hat ladies

I think mom knows the significance of the red hat and purple wearing chicks.

nice day

how the heck can it be so bright at... 10:45 in the morning. That's so early!

booyaah!

first round of blackjack and we collectively take mss for about $650. Sleepy time at 4am PST.

the tax man

this guy apent the last 4 hours telling us we should let him do our taxes. He "knows everything" about real estate taxes.

berlin wall

main street station has the urinals in one of their men's rooms mounted on a segment of the berlin wall. I took this after several "free" beers while playing blackjack over the past 3+ hours.

main street station

this is the stained glass ceiling. We have been here since 12:30am. It is now 3am.

ahhhh the p...

time for a pokey tourney

in the room

at the golden nugget. It's clean but dated and the farthest thing from the lobby. Last time I book a package on orbitz.

holy crap!

3 of the biggest and hottest pancakes I have ever seen...or tasted. The plate is about a foot across. Shawn had a garden omelet made with about 18 eggs.
