It was enjoyable.. despite being cash strapped and being alone mostly.. next time I go I will have a few friends and alot more money.
I got in around 10 or so and checked in at Ballys at roughly 11:30.. funny enough another winner from the group who won a seat into the 1k event was on the same shuttle as me so we spent the night walking the strip.
What a fun place, we all had to meet at the Rio in the morning and since the shuttle wasn't going to be running early enough we decided we would walk there in the night seeing as how it was so close it would probably only take us 10-15 minutes or so (hahaha) said trip took us a very long time as surprisingly alot of the streets are blocked off so a number of stairs and bridges had to be taken.. anyways because of this it led us to walking around in the Bellagio and out.. I was disappointed the fountains weren't running.. eventually the quest for the Rio was given up that night and I returned to my room to bed at around 3 and had set a wake up call for 8.
The Sunday was nice, had breakfast with the other winners and owners of the company and checked out the poker rooms at the Rio and had some pictures taken.
Then spent the day checking out mostly the older sites like Golden Nugget and Binions which were cool and just walked up and down that street so just chilled until it was time to go to Palms to watch the Hawks.. I put 20 bucks on moneyline and won.
