Well I left for vegas on the 16 and just got back in yesterday. Had a blast with a bunch of friends. First 2 days i went to the evolution fighting game tourney and played some games/hung out with people. Then we basically just hung out around the city checking out everything and eating at some sick places.

Last 2 days I played a decent amount of live poker at Excalibur. The poker room is pretty bad there but the dealers are cool, and there's a decent amount of tourists stopping by. I was kinda leery as I didn't bring that much to play. Only about 4 buyins for nl200. I quickly realized that nl200 live is probably the easiest thing ever. It's literally nl5 or nl10 but with more money. Really easy and extremely enjoyable. Even though I'm used to 9-12 tabling I found live really fun just chatting with the people playing. It's basically free money if you put in the time. Think I played like 18 or so hours which paid for my entire trip. Pretty sweet imo.

Lesson learned though is to play a LOT more live. At least 1 decent session per day, and to bring a bigger live roll just so I won't have any fear of busting it. I'll also probably play some at MGM and Mandalay Bay next time. Imperial Palace also seems pretty sick as its apparently insanely soft, they have $100 bonus if your aces get cracked, and $50 bonus for kings getting cracked, as well as $2 per hour for just playing if you have a players card (which is apparently the best rate in vegas)

All in all I had a great time with friends and can't wait to go back. I'm definitely going to try to get out to Vegas again before this year is over.. hopefully within a few months.

Oh yea I forgot to make a shitty blog before I left but like a week ago I played a 5100ish hand session which EASILY breaks my record for longest session. I probably won't ever do that again either as I was just exhausted after, heh.
