I'm Stuffed!

So you know—I won't be making any calls or returning much personal email until January. But I will try to check in here so you know where I am. Last night I had a terrific dinner at Sensi at the Bellagio. I was with John and Tony G, the well known European poker player.

We did make a fly by at the Fontana Bar where the WPT Five Diamond is being played. I got to say hello to BJ from CardPlayer, and both Steve Hall And Chris Newton of Poker Pages.com. After dinner, we met up with our Seattle friends, and I ran into the Gut Shot Poker guys! I was so excited to see Stephen I tackeled him. I really do love their tournament coverage above all others. The website isn't the easiest to use for viewing the live reports, but I told them about my concerns in that department.

What else? The buffet at Wynn is remarkable. I'd go for dinner over breakfast. After our mid day meal I showed John the Country Club—a place I have to return to. And I don't mean have to in the reviewing sense. I mean HAVE to because it's so sleek. Dark wood with leather chairs, a fireplace, and floor to ceiling glass windows that look out onto the golf course.

Tonight we're trying Shibuya at MGM. They supposedly have the biggest sake collection in the West. I also need to go to LURE at Wynn, but we'll see if I can get back to it. I was going to see Forty Deuce tonight, but nope, they're not open. Oh yeah, and I had lunch with the Wynn publicists yesterday including their poker PR guy, and that was good stuff. Justine has insisted that I see Avenue Q tomorrow night. We'll see if John can go or if I have to do that deed alone.

Still in Vegas. Not sure when I'm leaving. Maybe Friday or Saturday.
