vegas days 3, 4, and home

So I didn't get a chance to blog about the other days in Vegas, which is fine I think because not too much happened. I didn't run very well this trip and I also didn't play my "A" game a lot, but Catherine did well and more than made up for it, so we left up $300. Last night, we decided to have our Valentines dinner at BLT Burgers at the Mirage, which has some great food and these spiked milkshakes which are, um, fucking amazing. Afterwards we just decided to gamble up a little and play some casino games. I played literally two hands of blackjack before I lost my portion of the money. Catherine was able to turn $40 into $100 in video poker after getting dealt quad 3's on a quarter machine, which was sweet.

Overall, it was a fun trip. The interesting thing about this trip that we'll remember is the people we met. First, Jared, Aaron, and the Doc, in addition to Puke Green Sweater, the guy I talked about on the day 1 blog. Then the next day we sat next to Crack Head McGee. Day 3 we were introduced to this bald real estate appraiser who was very nice, terrible at poker, and very, very annoying. Plus he ran like god and couldn't lose, which was terribly annoying. Finally on the last day I sat at a table at the Rio and noticed that the gentleman in seat was the actor who plays Angel Batista from the show Dexter. He was a really cool guy, but didn't stay long, as he had to play in the daily tournament (or he was just freaked out by me and found and excuse to leave). Its ok though because we were left with this vindictive bitch of a lady who sat next to us who called me a "fucker" when I beat her out of a pot, and then sat out to miss her big blind just so Catherine and I couldn't play one more hand before we left. All this after I stood up for her earlier when another player started berating her. Its ok, she was obviously an idiot, studying scientology at the table, talking with another player about how she will get tax breaks because the FBI and CIA know that Scientology are true and how she prefers MSNBC because they support Obama and that makes them not biased. Brilliant.

Anyways, its good to be home. Our dogs are oh so tired after a fun time with the crazy bulldog winifred. Now we're all just relaxing, watching the NBA All Star game, and waiting for our yummy pizza to arrive.
