The VEGAS Valley Bookfest

I'm getting ready to go back to Vegas. I've been in Burbank this week, taking a breather from the tour, and revving up to head back into it. I'm participating in two events this weekend for the Vegas Valley Bookfest.

My friend Gavin Smith made the final table at the WPT Festa al Lago IV last night so I might head over to the Bellagio tonight and cheer him on! (If I make it all the way into Vegas) Something is going on this weekend and prices are nuts. Everything is either SOLD OUT, or at more than $200/night. I might stay in Henderson or Stateline tonight in an effort to get a room under $100 and then drive back tomorrow night to save some cash.

Apparently another poker media friend, Steve Hall, blogged that I was in town for this last week and BJ actually went. Here's hoping that the Festa al Lago converage wasn't too painful and he can make it tomorrow. John is in New York and thrilled to get to watch his Denver Broncos from the sidelines.
