More Vegas Musings....


Recommended Posts

The last few days finally found me getting the monkey off my back. I won a SNG. I sucked out SOOOOO bad on the same guy twice. Both times with sixes for my life....he had 8's the first time (rivered the 3rd 6) and he had 10's the 2nd time (turned the 6). I felt sorta bad and chopped....meh. Who gives a crap. It was hardly life changing money.Met a ton of really cool people, both celeb. wise and FCP wise. Yesterday we railed a bit more but Daniel was buried deep back in the pavilion. Oziumrules and I had tickets to the Lindsay Buckingham show at the Hard Rock Sat. night. We got there early and had enough time to eat at one of my favorite Vegas restaurants....Nobu. If you've never been and like sushi type cuisine, then you are missing one of the best in the country. This stuff is ridiculously delicious. I also used this chance to sample Amber's favorite....yellow tail with Jalapeño! I recommend it highly...it was just amazing. Go to Nobu. Period.Then it was off to the show. And who sits right in front of us???...HAROLD LEDERER and ERIC SEIDEL! Harold is apparently on the Benyamine diet these days and looked absolutely ridiculous bobbing and gyrating to the music. Good laughs. Eric couldn't handle the noise and bailed out to the back of the room after just 3 songs. The concert was actually very good as this guy still proves he is still one of the best rock guitarist ever.DSC00608.jpgAfter the show we went back tot he Rio where not much was happening. We met up again with Gilbert, Troyo, Navy, Checky, and after realizing it was just too late to play poker we did...what else...WENT BOWLING! But this time we hit the amazing Red Rocks resort and tore up their lanes.....at 3 AM. This is hands down the best NON Strip resort in Vegas, Just gorgeous.DSC00619.jpgThe bowling center here is first rate and just a super cool environment...DSC00614.jpgDSC00615.jpgHere's Troyo and Gilbert getting primed. DSC00618.jpgToday was my last day there for a few days (back in Phoenix now) and we decided to rail some of the ladies event. Watched Shannon Elizabeth play for about a half hour. She is obv. easy on the eyes and it was interesting watching he work the table. She is actually not a bad player, but has a HUGE tell when in a big hand. My secret, he he ...DSC00624.jpgLater on we ran into one of my favorite actresses, Cheryl Hines. She got involved in a huge hand early. We could see her cards and she had Qd Jd, and decided to smooth call. 4 to the flop. Flop Qh Qc, 2. She bets out 200 or so and lp moves all in! All fold to her and she get all uncomfortable and tanks a bit. She finally calls (DUH!) obviously thinking she had run into A-Q. lp turns over pocket deuces for the flopped boat! Uhg! We all groan and Cheryl is pretty much getting ready to leave...then here comes the turn....10...river...TENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!! mega suckout. So sick.Anyway, here is a shot of her...DSC00629.jpgSo anyway, blah blah blah. I have tons of stories and tons more pics but it takes to long to post them. I had a freaking blast and everyone just needs to get their butts out the Vegas immediately. That is all. :club:

Harold.....snicker!!!!I find it funny that Harold has gotten heavy again. Wasn't Harold a HUGGGGGGGGGGE fat *** back in the day? Just sorta shocked to hear Harold has gotten back to an unhealthy lifestyle. Usually reformed fat asses tend to stay in shape after losing a ton. (BTW I am a fat *** myself...6'3 240....DING! {For the Dan Patrick fans out there}) At least Harold still has a smoking hawt sister!!!!! You may have heard of her....Angie Duke!!!! :club:

Howard Lederer weighed over 300 lbs. before he had gastric bypass surgery.

LOLOLOLerspelling. It's frightening how similar Harold looks like Howard.I had NO idea how absolutely exhausted I was. The WSOP is a hyper-stimulated environment and it really hit me last night once I got home and was finally out of it. I just woke up and slept for 13 HOURS! wow.......I also didn't realize how little water I was drinking the whole time. Not good. The sick thing is I can't wait to do it all over again in a few days, lol :club::D
