Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it Las Vegas, which of course in German means a whale's vagina

Heya, So so far I've neglected to mention a lot of my experiences @ the tables. I didn't play a tonne of poker during the weekend while Rob & his boyz were around but I made it out to the Rio for the first time before they arrived, on Thursday. I was totally blown away. Walking down the hall to get to the convention centre where the WSOP is being played, I passed Allen Cunningham. Then in the main room I saw the likes of Nguyen, Cloutier, Hansen, Smith, and the list goes on. It was pretty freakin cool. I've been back to the Rio a couple of times since, to play my event and some satellties, which have been going very well so far. It's a bit lonely now that I am by myself but the room here is nice and I've been able to focus more on poker. Monday I played a $4-$8 Limit H.O.R.S.E. game @ Caesars, which was a lot of fun. Yesterday I played @ the Bellagio, which has a fantastic poker room, and I sat down at this $2-$5 No Limit table that featured a guy who also did engineering at UW. And he is friends with Lou and helped Rob get an interview with the firm he works at in New York. Small world! Well today I am off to do some laundry then head over to the Rio to play a megasatellite for the main event tonight. Man, how amazing would that be to qualify for the main event! Ciao!
