Vegas a winning city but not at the tables...yet

Hope springs eternal but the poker and low level gambling not off to a great start! Had breakfast in the excalibur, bagel and donut kind of affair.

I headed over the luxor for the morning poker tournament. Turned out to be fairly small numbers a sit and go almost. And sit and go I did. Built my stack up steadily and then moved all in ak v kk v
a8 and that was that.  Chatted to a few of the players all very interested in Brexit and why we have done it. I didn't have many answers that were positive but the consensus seemed to be the Trump types are everywhere and in great numbers!

Met the rest of the family and walked up the strip to planet hollywood. Great buffet there that I divided into a middle Eastern course, American course and 2 deserts.  Incredible range of flavours and far better value than anything else we have encountered in vegas.

On to our prebooked show. Magician called Nathan Burton very amusing, and mangaged to incorporate showgirls so many dimensions.  We took a walk over to caesars and the bellagio and caught tail end of the fountains. The strip beginning to get a bit lively around dusk so time to return to the relatively safe fortress that is excalibur.












Carys branching out on her own again today. We should converge for the finale.

  1. I love the fountains, what a site. I also love the links between the hotels, so that when it is hot you can avoid going outside. I remember riding a monorail from the Bellagio to the Aria, and then waling through there to the Monte Carlo, where we were staying, without leaving the air-conditioning at all - amazing place.
