Went to Howie Mendel at the MGM, he was pretty funny when he wasn't pimping his other projects, and we got the tickets at a good price.
Meals, I went to Craftsteak and Diego's, both in the MGM. The food was really good at both places, Diego's was weird. We ordered, got the appies immediately and the meal was like less than 10 minutes later. It really felt rushed and we finished the whole meal in like 40 min, 100$ later I was like WTF that was fast. Craftsteak was awesome, and for the quality of my ribeye I think it was well worth it, the wine list was awesome but the markups were insane, so I just ordered a cheapo Syrah for like 45$.
Most impressive was the Mandalay Bay champange brunch, I dunno but that was ridiculous. I polished of a plate of king crab, had some roast turkey and prime rib, before I got to the omlette station, that plus the champange wasn't bad either. That buffet, I really couldn't believe, definately worth the 30$.
All and all I had a great time, I wish I had more time for cards, but seriously I really have a hard time playing serious poker getting 30 hands and hour, compared to the 5-600 and hour I get 5-6 tabling the short games. I might actually start playing lower live, just for fun rather than trying to play the bigger (by that I mean midstakes) games. Maybe try some more live MTTs, I just can't stand the douche bags with their shades and pokerstars hats staring you down at the sunday 100 $ tourney.
Oh I love the free drinks in Vegas too, played for 5$ blackjack with the wife at the Tropicana, this one lady at the table had about 12 beers in a little more than an hour, I was really suprised she could stay in her chair. I took it a little easier with the drinks.Statistics: Posted by phytopath — Fri Mar 07, 2008 1:34 am
