If anyone is here let me know.
Just finished a weekend conference in Denver so I booked 3 nights in Vegas ($70 flight).
Arrived to the Flamingo and did the self check-in (used my total rewards for the first time in 10 trips here...comps fail) and noticed that they upgraded me to a suite. Arrive at the suite to find out it doesn't have a strip view...yadda, yadda...am now in a strip view go room. After 2 nights is a 4 star Westin hotel in Denver I prefer the cheesy pink bathroom light through the frosted glass of the go room...life fail somewhere there. Anyhow, I'm now on the 21st floor looking directly across at Caesar's and can see the Bellagio fountains. Sitting on the chaise by the window typing this. I'd post a pic if I brought a camera, but all I have is by crappy phone camera which is a fail in low light...will try again tomorrow. I've always thought these Go Rooms with a Strip View are a steal given that they are kinda neat and face directly onto the strip at street level. Not to mention it's an easy walk to the V poker room.
I've been up since 1am yesterday. Took a shower and I am waiting for a room service omlette ($5 deliver + $5 tip but I am nauseatingly hungry) then I will see if sleep or poker follows. If I play tonight it will just be some low or mid limit O8 for fun. Looks like they have an 8 16 half kill and a 15 30 "big O" (5 card O8) running at the V. I'm just here to relax for a few days so making money at poker isn't my top priority. The best games are probably at the B right now due to (I think) WPT being in town, but whatever.

Main non-poker trips goals:
Go for a hike -- Valley of Fire is likely one of my 10 favourite US parks and I haven't been out there in a few years. I always love stopping at the store just outside of the park which is 1/2 crazy fireworks and 1/2 alcohol...to me that just screams USA, USA...love it.
Check out a furnished rental house that I may rent for 1-2mo this summer if I don't get the job I applied for in Cali...gotta leave Edmonton sometime and I have virtually zero responsibilities right now. I'm loving live poker these days so wtf, I can give cash games a steady shot for a month or two.
