How were the players? Did they have to keep asking the dealers what the pot size was?

I forgot to write a review of the show we saw yesterday. So we decided to see KA at Mgm Grand. It's ranked as one of the best Cirque du soleil shows. We bought tickets at the strip in one of those ticket booths that is everywhere in Vegas. We got three good tickets in the middle of the arena for $115 each. I think the show was sold out. Don't know how to describe the show really. It's was full of action from the first minute to the last with incredible special effects! It was the first time any of us had been to a show like this and we all got blown away. Can highly recommended anyone go in to Vegas to see this show.

Today we have a couple of things planned. Will take a cab to the fabulous Las Vegas sign for a group footage. Then head over to Mandalay Bay and there sky bar to see the sunset. Think they call it The mix. After that we have dinner reservations at the Eiffel Tower restaurant. Will probably play poker for a couple of hours as well. So that's our plans for thanksgiving.

So been home for a week now and it's time to recap the last days in Vegas.
On Thursday we planned to first take a cab to the fabulous Las Vegas sign but when we got there there was a long line with probably 50-60 people waiting to take pics. So we skipped that and went straight to Mandalay Bay and there sky bar. Last time I was there they called it The Mix. They changed it now to Sky Fall. Who I think is a better name that explains this sky bar much better. Don't think they have done any changes inside. We ordered in a couple of cocktails and just enjoyed the view and atmosphere. The drinks cost something like $12 so $15 with tip.






After that we went to Paris Paris and the Eiffel Tower restaurant for thanksgiving dinner. Am not used to eat at fancy places like this so it was a nice experience. It started with the elevator up to restaurant floor and our table was not quite ready when we got there so started with a beer in the bar. After 10 minutes our table was ready and we got pretty god seats. The best seats was obviously the ones closest to the Windows. But that was only tables for two people. We all skipped starters and ordered what they called The King. It was Broiled Beef Tenderloin Filet Mignon with Béarnaise and Classic Potato Gratin. We also took a class of red wine. And some dessert. It cost $150 each. And we all enjoyed it.





After that we went to Planet Hollywood to play some 1-2 Nl Texas and have some drinks. I've got a really nice and soft table with a couple of nice guys to chat and drink with. All so got a fortune cookie of one of the dealers Unfortunately the table broke after a couple of hours. Could easily have played a couple of hours more.




The last day we all was a bit hangover I went to Aria and played some Plo. Won 1k but could have been more. Played a huge pot when I flopped top set on a 2-6-7 board. Two diamonds. I was on the button and two other had potted it to 500 so I repotted to all in for my entire stack. First guy calls for tot $400 and the other ships his $1200 stack. The guy with small stack have rap straight draw and big stack have nut flush draw and straight draw. They want to run it twice and that was fine with me. I make my house on the first one and the flush hits on the second.

Last thing we did on Saturday before heading to the airport was one last visit to Twilted Kilt on Linq street and one last beer.
Can recommend this beer from Hawaii!



Hope you all enjoyed this Tr!

Hey Guys!

I'm sure Top Golf is fun but people drink while playing real golf all the time.

You might check with Top Golf about the soccer. They were setting up special stuff for the NCAA basketball so they might be doing something for the soccer, and you could kill two birds with one stone.

Yes but do they have a cocktail bar at every tee everywhere?

That’s sounds like a good idea. Do you know if any bars will make “camps” for fans so one place have English fans and another have Brazilian fans?

Most courses I've been to (not golfed in LV) have people driving drink carts around the course where you can buy beer/soda/water.

Make sure to buy two, in case they get distracted before you need another. Also, stop with the Budweiser.

Have a great trip, looking forward to reading about it.

I guess you have different rules on the golf courses in Us.

Anyone tried this pizza? Looks insane! Is it as good as Five/50 at Aria? Just love pizza after a long night out drinking!
