Hello, just got back from las vegas and wanted to share a cool experience I had, although i didnt play as much poker as i would have liked I had a blast and got the "full vegas experience" and saw a little bit of everything. So on Tuesday night after a long night of sight seeing and some drinking and gambling, on our way back to our hotel we decide to grab a quick bite and settle on good ol MCD's across from mirage, where we by chance nothice the "mirage poker Showdown" ends tommorow (wednesday) I mention it, and decide to check out the casino wheree we see a sign reading they will tape the WPT final table wed at 5 pm and my wife's all gung ho like WE gotta go, so I agree. Seating is at 3:15 so we show up early, to get tickets, and on our way down we walk past a drunken Joe Sebo and Darell Dicken doing pre interviews. So I was pretty pumped Im gonna see a Wpt Taping and it seems at least a known player (gigabet) will be there(no internet or connection to world) After getting tickets, we have like an hour to kill and are going to the mirage to gamble, we are talking deciding how long we wanna stay etc, and kinda still looking for recognizable faces when i see a guy i couldn't name but looked familiar and to his immediate right was PHIL IVEY! Long story Longer, he ended up at the final table (as most probably know) along with amnon filipi. Layne flack was behind me with the media for like 15 minutes, and after the first break Erick Lindgren showed up, Nam LE was there until amnon got busted, All in all it was a really cool chance experience but is definately more of a Poker show than a Poker Game. This is alreaddy wayy too long so if i left out anything just ask

how much were the tickets, did you already go to the event or your going I was confused?
Tickets are free, you line up early they give you a numbered chip and they take alternates the whole time and they have reserved seating availible anytime for friends and family of final table playeres, it was the final table on wednesday may 23rd

...I had a blast and got the "full vegas experience"...
I saw no mention of Hookers and Blow, not even a stripper, so you surely DID NOT get the "full Vegas experience"

good stuff, my only recommendation....don't go to MCD. You can get McDonalds anywhere. Vegas has SOOOOO many good places to eat you missed out on that.

Hey Pot Odds,Both drugs and prostitution are illegal in Vegas, so YOU (of all people) should realize that neither of them should be considered a requirement to obtain the "full Vegas Experience".Frankly, I'm a bit surprised at you. :club: (sw)

You're right, I am completely ashamed in myself......strippers are still legal though, right?

In-n-out burger is the nuts.Fatburger was disappointing.I've heard good things about Cheeseburger at the Oasis - in the shops near PH I think?

Another really fun thing to do in Vegas is rent a car and drive about 1/2 hour north on I-15. There is a gas station that has a huge fireworks stand during the 4th of July time.They put on really big fireworks demonstrations every night and tons of people drive out for the show.I like to park about 1 mile away and wait for the real fun, the fireworks show that is based at a GAS STATION. No luck so far but maybe this year.
