This is my first day back home in LA after 4.5 weeks in LV for the WSOP, so I will kick off my list in no particular order:

1. Pinkberry, especially in the summer. I can't believe they haven't opened one up yet in LV, they are leaving a lot of money on the table.

2. Obviously, the weather. After weeks of 115 degree heat in LV, it rained a little the last weekend I was there and got down to 98. I remember walking outside and thinking damn it feels cold!!!

3. Food. They have good food in LV but I am sick of eating at the same restaurants in the various hotels I stayed at. I don't think I can eat another Capriotti's sandwich from the Poker Kitchen until next year.

4. Girls. In LV all the hot girls are hookers or strippers, in LA they are wannabe actresses/models and gold diggers.

5. Poker Dealers. You begin to appreciate how good the dealers are in LA after seeing the Rio dealers. Tournaments they were ok but the cash games that were non NL Holdem were pretty dicey at times. I played various cash games and some F-ups of note included one dealer dealing a flop in Stud8 and in Badugi!!!

6. The Beach, the Bellagio Lake doesn't really count, and they don't have hot beach bunnies rollerblading down the boardwalk. Although, the Sapphire pool might come close, just a guess because I didn't get a chance to check it out.

1. My own bed/pillows/comforter

2. Food - Like OP I get so sick of the same restaurants over and over again, but who wants to drive all over Vegas just to get a different meal when you're staying at where you're playing poker? (laziness fwiw)

3. T.V. - I never watch it in Vegas except while getting ready in the AM and am always surprised at the news that I miss while on my gambling/poker trips.

i guess healthy food and exercise. mainly just my friends. i generally find myself bored within 24 hours and wishing i was back in vegas.

actually, i am always desperate to get out of vegas then tend to have a great time in the hours before departing for the airport and hate to leave.

I look forward to getting back to a normal life. Vegas just burns me out.

Things I don't look forward to? "How was your trip to Las Vegas?"

never heard of pinkberry, and the website only gives nutrition facts for frozen yogurt. Do they provide any info on their smoothies? especially sugar?

If you're eating at the same restaurants over and over again when you're in Vegas, I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong.

Not seeing the scum of the earth every day. Stupid hotels and their mirrors.

As a discriminating person, maybe you can tell us what you believe the industry standard for comfort in beds should be.
