Ramblin,Gamblin, Travelin Man.....

Well its finally here, i fly out of mccarran tonight to start my month of adventure. Its currently quarter til 2 in the afternoon and my flight is scheduled to leave at 10:50. Obviously i havent did a single thing to get ready haha. I still have to pack, shop, make a few calls, go to the court to take care of a ticket, get litter, clean up my room, and try not to forget anything. All of this while my brain feels like mush after staying out drinking til about 5 this morning, Warning! Im a professional, dont try this at home kids haha. This is by far the longest im going to be away from vegas since moving out here. Its going to be a great time but im pretty sure once the trip starts winding down towards the end of december im going to be dying to get back out here. Obviously i had to do it up pretty big the past 3 nights to kind of go out with a bang since i wont be here for a while. Friday night my gf took me out for a really really fun night. We started off with reservations at Benihanna http://www.lvhilton.com/dining/benihana.shtml which may or may not been the greatest meal ive ever had. Ive never been here before but it was amazing, im still undecided whether or not it tops the Kobe beef at Craft steak in the mgm which was currently the best meal ive ever had. Either way if you havent been i strongly suggest it. For those who arent too sure what the place is its a japanese steakhouse deal where they bring everything out and cook it at your table while tossing peices of meat all over the place in the air. After dinner and about 490934 sake shots we had tickets to this comedy club show at the Riviera. The Riviera is pretty grimey but it was right across the street from where dinner was so it worked out perfect. The show was alright for the price. We missed the first act, the 2nd act guy was hilarious and killed it, then they brought out the headliner who was an absolute HACK. I guess it just kind of depends on what time of humor you like. I loved the second guy because he did a lot of dry and raunchy humor where as the headliner was more of a in your face/carrot top type guy with props and very obvious jokes. After the show we walked over to the peppermill to continue to get our drink on. The peppermill http://www.peppermilllasvegas.com/lounge/ is this really chill place that actually has like a fire inside that you can sit around and drink at. My friend described the place best as saying " the interior design look is- it looks like a what a pimps bedroom would look like if he threw up in it haha. We stayed here til around 4 or 5 before finally calling it a night.

Saturday i was still feeling pretty rough when i woke up which wasnt good because i had to do it all over again starting at 5p.m., ugghhhh. A group of us had tickets to go see Jerry Seinfeld do his stand up at Caesars at 730. We decided to all grab some dinner/drinks before hand at this place called Sea Blue http://www.mgmgrand.com/dining/seablue-mediterranean-restaurant.aspx inside of the mgm. It was more of a seafood place which im not really a fan of but the filet was really good and our buddy had a 400 voucher that he won at work so that always helps haha. The bill came out to around 700 between the 6 of us so we only had to pay 50 each at the end which was a pretty sick deal. Unfortunately Texas Tech was getting slaughtered on the tv right next to our table so that kind of sucked since we wouldve won like 650 or soemthing if they couldve covered. Our seats in the seinfeld show were pretty sick, we were dead center about 100 feet away. His stand up was pretty funny but seemed to go on and on towards the end. After the show got out we stood around the bar by the sportsbook hammering down drinks/shots until we decided what to do next. Of course when you get a group of poker players together drinking the night always seems to gravitate towards the strip club. So i collected my 200 bucks from betting on the sj/washington game (brag post) while we were in the show and we decided to head to penthouse http://www.penthouselv.com/ which has this rediculously almost too good to be true deal of 25 dollars all you can drink haha. Thats just absurd.

Last night was supposed to be a take it easy/early night which obviously ended up in doing jaigerbombs til 4 in the morning. We (gf) went to buffalo wild wings to just grab a few cocktails and some food until the subject of bowling came up. We went bowling a few weeks earlier and she had beat me both games we bowled which was bullshit because i could barely walk let alone bowl at this point but thats another story. The bartender at bdubs told us they had 1 games/ 1 dollar beers after midnight at the south point, ship it. So we decided to head down there and give myself a shot to redeem my manhood haha. Unfortunately for her i was a little more sober this time and i won all 4 games. I couldnt believe how packed they were at like 3 am. It was a pretty fun time even though for 1 dollar games/beers i ended up running up like a 80 dollar tab haha, damn you jaigermeister.

Alright well this is getting crazy long and i have a ton of stuff to do so im going to wrap this up. It hasnt technically been a full week since my last post but ill ship the 10 to you guys anyways for me even letting it get close to a week. I still have a ton of hands from plo over the past week i planned on putting up but ill do it later. Im sure ill have some time in the airport later tonight so maybe ill put them up then. Check back later and im out.
