I've been having a great time in Vegas so far. I flew in late friday night and was greeted by Irieguy, Alan Sass and a whole bunch of other friends when I arrived at the house, the champagne was on ice and everyone was in full party mode. Irieguy and I ended up staying all night partying including various degen gambling and taking a trip to redrock to book a bet on the de la hoya fight that was on Saturday night.

We didn't feel like sleeping so around 8 or 9am we woke up Alan and Justin and convinced them to come play 9 holes with us. I haven't golfed in a couple years so I was pretty excited. We grabbed a ton of beers and whiskey, set up some bets for the course and took off.

I have no idea how I did, I do know Irie only made it through 6.5 holes and I made it through 8 before being incapable of playing so I think I was the winner. Justin and Alan won all the skins though.

That night we had a bunch of people over to watch the fight. De la hoya got stomped and I lost about 4k.

I went over to Raptor's house which i hadn't seen yet and watched the Dark Knight on Monday night on his 110inch projection screen. The theatre room is a sweet ass setup with lazy boys and the whole deal. The whole house looked pretty good for the short amount of time he's had to really put stuff in it.

Tuesday night I went over to the Bellagio and met up with Chuddo for some drinks. We ran into Brian Rast and Andrew Robl and talked to them for a bit. Fix was closed for some Christmas party so Andrew drove Chuddo and I over to T.I so we could drink some sake at Social House. Sadly it was also closed! Vegas is deaaaaaaaaaaddddd right now. Further evidence: They were spreading 10 dollar craps and 5 dollar BJ at the BELLAGIO! I don't think I've ever seen that at nightime there before, although it was a tuesday.

Chuddo used this to elaborate on his favorite topic about how America is going busto and I should buy gold and lots of guns, over drinks at some Mexican place in T.I that we decided on. While there I got a call from a few people who were heading to the Rhino so we decided that we would go over to the Wynn, catch up with our friends Nate and Leah there and then maybe head over there.

At the Wynn Chud and I played some WPT all in holdem and had a few drinks. We decided it was time to go meet up with Nate and Leah when I managed to spill two drinks all over the table trying to bet Chud's bonus action.

The four of us hung out around the Wynn and pretty much just got messed up. We were all having so much fun that by the time I couldn't drink anymore it was 630am so I headed for home instead of the Rhino. I'm sure I missed out meeting some nice single moms but you can't do everything in one night.

Today I am going to play in the 5k Bellagio event. I ended up getting up at 6am so hopefully I'll be able to make it through to the end of the day without falling asleep at the table. I'm excited to play and I think if nothing else today will be a great warm-up for the 15k main event that starts on the weekend. I am on a pretty insane hot streak in live tournaments with my last 6 events including a second place in the 10k PLO WSOP a cash in the Bellagio 15k event and a 4th place finish in the London High Roller, so I'm looking to keep that up today!
