Boys Weekend in Vegas



Yeah, I'm a lazy poster. This is actually from two weekends ago. My dad had his bowling weekend in Vegas, so Brad and I went with him. I was also a lazy photo taker that weekend so you aren't going to get much in the way of pictures either.

We drove up on Friday and came back Sunday morning before I had to be at work. We spent most of our time at Texas Station which is where we were staying. In fact, the only other casino we saw was when Brad and I drove over to a poker tournament at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood. I did ok and was the chip leader at my table for quite a while before taking a late hit and just missing the final table. Brad came in 6th which paid $120. We were in another tournament later that night at Texas Station. We both made the final table in that one, but neither of us got paid. My dad did get to watch me take down a big pot though so that was cool.

The slots weren't good to me either so I didn't play much. However, seeing as how it was the day before the baseball season started, I did make my World Series bets which should pay off come October. I'll make money if the Red Sox or Dodgers win the World Series. I also put a bet on the Orioles. Job Tate keeps trying to say that they're good and I know he wouldn't lie to me. Plus at 50-1 odds Vegas must think they're a sure thing too.

why do you look like you are about to cry in your picture?

poker is fun nick, but staring at cards for hours and hours can give you a slight headache.
