Las Vegas? It's Onnnnnn ...
After being busy, busy busy at work, I was finally able to carve out a week off to go to Las Vegas to get in some quality poker time. Just to even get to this stage, however, was a hassle, including having to work Saturday night for about three hours just to finish up what I couldn't get done last week.
Saturday also included getting the family together for lunch to celebrate Mothers Day before I went out of town. Nothing makes my wife happy like having all our kids together.
So ... the journey to Las Vegas today starts with a side trip to see my Mom this morning.
I don't have very much actually planned for this trip. I am planning to play a tournament with Flushhdraw and hope to either get some other Las Vegas friends to play in the tournament with us or perhaps get a group together to play some cash games.
I'll be staying for three nights at Harrah's -- spitting distance from the Mirage, where I have had great success my past few trips to Las Vegas -- and two nights at Gold Coast, which is comping my stay.
It looks like I have less than six hours to pack and get some sleep. I am taking my laptop along on the trip and hope to make a blog post or two if time permits. I will be using Twitter and text messaging to connect with people and have some fun.
Let the games begin!

Mom at 85
It is hard to believe that she made it past 90 and is now less than a half year from 91. Although I invited thundering36 to come along with me to Las Vegas, he declined to stay home with Mom. Maybe next time.I don't have very much actually planned for this trip.

Hope so! Have fun, travel safely, and good luck.
I love that restaurant in the Gold Coast. The Ping Pang Pong. Awesome Asian food. We just eat the apps. Best of luck on your trip!
@MOJO -- Thanks, buddy. I hope you are preparing to make another massive score at the WSOP.
@Tino -- I went to Ping Pang Pong for the first time with my friend Alysia last February (http://lightning36.blogspot.com/2016/02/stealth-las-vegas-trip-report-part-i.html). It was great!
I ate at the Ping Pang Pong last summer for the first time. Lots of Asians eating there which is definitely a good sign.
