I wanna go to vegas "sob"

beautiful drunk college girls who will consider sleeping with me - poker/booze 24 hrs. a day.

I can't stand it....I'm actually pacing right now.

I've just been going over in my head my hrs. and responsibilities, and the more I think about it, the more I think it would be STUPID to go and take a week off and spend 10 days in Vegas and take a vacation.

It would be cheaper and easier to merely fly in Sat morn. after I get off work and fly out Tues. evening - and do it often, like say one week a month. /images/graemlins/smile.gif - with MY schedule, it makes the most sense in the world, esp. once that light rail goes to the airport…it would be SO easy to catch a bus outside the apt - down on light rail to the airport….. -

If a hotel room in Vegas is $100 a night, then what is the point in doing for 6 more days that when I could just fly in and back again - Hmmm?

I'm getting excited all of the sudden again….something to do in winter - looks like a lot of Sun Country flights are what….$102 or something each way? - Get out of here at 9am and sleep on the flight…spend 4 days there…I really wanna see the fountains at the Bellagio. - and stand in the sun in the desert

I need a change of scenery...I mean, I NEED it.

Not if that's really you in your avatar. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Seriously though, it's somewhat difficult to disect your rambling musings, but a trip to Vegas is usually what the Dr. ordered. It's a good time, but it's certainly no vacation, in the truest sense of the word. In fact, I usually need a vacation to recover from my vacation to Vegas, if you know what I mean.

I'm planning a trip with a group of good friends the week before Christmas again this year. There are usually some really good deals to be had inlcuding airfare and hotel. It's usually a fairly slow week - although I've noticed that the games are still good - and I'm not into huge crowds and waiting in 1 hour buffet lines at 7pm, so a slow week suits me fine. I think we are staying at the Mirage for something like $69 a night. You can find several places on the strip that have sub-$100 per night rooms that will more than ample.

Good luck with college girls man. You might be better off at the hotel with the remote and pay-per-view. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Off-topic note: I will be moving to Minneapolis sometime this month as I just accepted a new job in the area. I'm going to be pretty slammed for awhile getting up to speed, but I'm sure we'll bump into each other at Canterbury at some point in the future.

I feel this way everytime I read a Trip Report or see the opening scenes from CSI.

Whiskeytown ma boy!!! you are my hero.

[whiskeytown]

more I think about it....better I feel.

I just am so sick of always being in the winter wonderland - and all my vacations the last 3 yrs. have been to see the family

with my work schedule (overnights W-F or T-S) till 7am, I can catch a plane at 2pm, sleep on it, and land sunday evening - and stay till flying out again Wed. morning - (sleep again on plane) and roll into work without even using vacation time.

these 4 days off....gotta milk em. for all I can.

truth is, I HIGHLY doubt I'll get laid...getting too chubby in the face - and I don't really wanna get plastered - I would like to meet Felicia and Erik Seidel - but otherwise, I'm just not ready for winter wonderland....

LOL, I'm not much to meet. More trouble than I'm worth.

Eric is very cool. I met him a couple of weeks ago. I'm probably one of the only people who agrees with him about the camera issue in the world. Always have.

[felson]

What camera issue?

[MrGo]

I'm with you Whiskey...only been to Vegas once and loved it. I'll meet you in the cities and we'll fly out. Wait. I wasn't invited was I? Oh well..I'm coming with.

[FeliciaLee]

Erik has never been in favor of hole-card TV poker. He has spoken out against it quite a few times, and I think was given some legal warnings once in the USPC when he refused to show his cards (that part is just what I read, not what he personally told me).

He has also said that he is not comfortable playing on TV, and tends to make mistakes. That would account for some very strange plays he has made on TV before (this year's WSOP being one of them).

Although we didn't go into it much a couple of weeks ago, he definitely seemed to express the view that although TV is great for the poker numbers, they seem to be doing nothing for the player, except taking away all of his rights, while giving nothing back.

While I agree with you that it should be the player's choice to allow a hole card cam to be used, I disagree with the statement that TV does not give anything back to the player. Take a look at Annie Duke.

[FeliciaLee]

That is very true, but also new. I am hoping that the future will be brighter for the players on that front.

i used to love going to casinos. once i started playing poker online i very seldom want to go anymore. my vacations used to be always gambling. nowdays the wife and i actually goto places that dont have gambling on vacation sometimes. i guess online poker scratched my gambling itch. i also used to like going to the horse track. no interest in that anymore.

[sleepyjoeyt]

so, you're pretty much saying you're a degenerate gambler.

great. i'm sure your wife is very proud.

I don't see how his admitting that he doesn't go to casino's and only plays online now says he's a degenerate? I'm sure you play online too, degenerate.

So you are pretty much saying you're a [censored] [censored].

I bet your parents are very proud.

See if you can guess which phrases within his statements I see as the signs of a degenerate gambler (or at least a gambler, the degenerate part is still up in the air).

"I used to love going to casinos"

"My vacations used to be always gambling"

"nowdays the wife and i actually goto places that dont have gambling on vacation sometimes." - it shouldn't be such a big deal that you "actually go" to a place without gambling sometimes.

"I also used to like going to the horse track"

The only things missing are that you love playing the lotto and you have keno machine in your basement.

Other than that I'd say this guys got all the bases covered.

[sleepyjoeyt]

This coming from the guy who only registered this past May and already has almost 2000 posts.

Sounds like you've got a lot going on. Maybe you and that other degenerate should go to the track or something.

Watch out for any smoking dirt piles.

ass.

[Cosimo]

Gambling as a hobby does not make one degenerate. Poker is gambling, and poker is my hobby--am I therefore a degenerate? A degenerate gambler is one that will piss away all of his cash, liquidate all of his assets, and ruin every family member and friend that he can in order to feed his habit.

On the other hand, someone who loves going to casinos but carefully budgets such trips -- even if he spends "a lot" -- is not degenerate.

I presumed that this was hyperbole.

[MrGo]

It would be different if he was blowing his savings and using his kid's money for college to support gambling, but that is not stated. It's unfair to state that he's a degenerate simply by reading that he likes to gamble.
