Well the title sums up today... WOW.
To start off with the flight was ok. Slept a bit, listened to music on my iphone for most of the journey, and watched the film 21 several times as I thought it was appropriate.
Landed in Vegas, and as expected was hit by the immense 40 degree heat and blistering sun. I have honestly felt nothing like it!
Got to the hotel, and as it's my 21st birthday celebrations, they've upgraded the room to a Deluxe competely free with an AMAZING strip few. Absolutely incredible. The people are so friendly, and I've had to remember to tip them all too!
The Imperial Palace isn't BIG, but it's nice. Walked down to the MGM and it was the hardest walk I've ever done. Took 20 minutes but felt like I'd just crawled through a desert! Sat down with a glass of water at the first bar in the MGM, and suddenly the waitress gets up on the table with a waiter and starts dancing! Dave and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing! Incredible!
Not much to tell poker wise so far. Imperial Palace isn't busy but looks very easy. There's this O'Neils place which was busy and looked incredibly fishy. MGM was VERY busy, maybe too so, and Excalibur has been refurbished with the electronic PokerPro tables. I'm not too keen on them so may only play the 0.50/1 NL games with a $50 max sit down, rather than 1/2 like everywhere else.
To summarise, I haven't really done much today. It was HOT, I've seen a couple of casinos. Mesmorised by the MGM and how big it is! I'm now about to go have some food before going out again to hit the tables. Hopefully I'll go to bed with a handsome profit.
The final thought on my mind is the amount of seedy guys giving out cards advertising girls. I mean it's disgusting! There lined up all down the strip, hundreds of the guys! They try shoving these little cards in your face too. I really really really didn't expect that! Never mind.
Hope everyone back home is doing well and ok. Missing you all and will keep everyone updated. If you want to contact me it will be best to email, as I'll be using Wi-Fi more than my mobile.
See ya!

Told you it would be hot. Hope you take it easy at first especially the first night but you'll be playing as I write!! Great result for Leeds last night beating Palace 4-0 in Carling Cup. Looking forward to reading much more soon. Enjoy!!!
I told you about how seedy it was!! Call cards everywhere!! Every possible spot where there could be one and more!! Thats my main memory of Vegas!! :P
Less time on the internets, more time on the poker tables lad! ;-)
Glad to see you're having fun, it must be hitting 15 degrees in Horsforth, grey sky as far as the eye can see... I'm not jealous!
