GazBlades' Vegas Thread

[GB80]

I don't expect to post much in here, but I didn't want to hijack Uber's. I left home on Wednesday evening to get the train to Gatwick. I arrived at about 1am, and managed to stay awake until my flight to Atlanta at 9am. I can't sleep on planes, but I thought getting no sleep whatsoever might help. It didn't, and I got just the 1 hour on there. Got to Atlanta, went to the baggage collection, and half an hour later the bags have stopped coming on and mine is nowhere to be seen. I went to ask what I'm supposed to do, and I can't report it until I get to Vegas. At this point, I desperatly need a shave, and a change of clothes, as the poor person I'm supposed to be sitting next to on the flight to Vegas will have a dodgy smell next to them. I've got 4 hours to kill, so I get something to eat. 4 hours turns into 6 as the flight is delayed, and at this point I've had 1 hours sleep in almost 48 hours. Luckily for all the passengers on the plane, the 1 spare seat on it is the one next to me. The whole journey I'm starting to worry what will happen if my case is lost, as I've only got contact lenses for 2 days, my darts are in there, etc. Get to Vegas, have a quick look if my case is there, on the off chance, but it isn't. So I go and report it. Once I've given my name, the lady behind there tells me that she's found it and it's been delayed and won't arrive until Friday. I'm relieved that it's not lost, so get the taxi to the hotel, check in, and wash my shirt before I go to bed at around 9:30pm. Wake up feeling suprisingly ok at about 6am, so have a bath, buy some deoderant, and get breakfast at the buffet. After 2 huge plates of Scrambled Egg on toast, head to O'Shea's to play in the 9am tournament. Only 12 in it, and I come 3rd. On the bubble, but I get a T-Shirt. Woohoo. Sign up for the 12pm tournament at Imperial Palace, but only last half an hour. Play some Texas Hold'em Bonus, and lose $100, before going up to my room for a bit waiting for my case. I end up falling asleep, and waking up at 11pm when I get a phone call telling me my case has arrived. Once it gets delivered, I got back to bed. I wake up around 5am on Saturday, but still don't feel great. Have a shave and a bath, and head down to play some cash. Quadrupled up early with Kings, but a couple of big hands later on crippled me and reminded me that I can't play cash. Played the 12pm Imperial Palace tournament and came 12th. My play the last 20 minutes in that reminded me I can't play poker. Just managed to get to Planet Hollywood in time for the 2pm tournament, but once I got there I felt crap and wish I hadn't. Lasted a couple of hours, but lost a race when I was getting short. Headed back to the IP, and lost a couple of hundred at Texas Hold'em Bonus, which I'm now banning myself from. Headed up to bed around 7pm, which is a waste, but I feel poo and I've got to try and feel ok for the darts tomorrow. Which I do. It's 5am, but thats ok. Will give me a couple of hours to get ready and get some breakfast, then I can get myself :beer:beerto try and play darts. :lol

Re: GazBlades' Vegas Thread Are you playing in the darts? Me and a couple of guys up here spend half the winter talking about going but never do. Hoping to go to some of the later stages of the darts so might see you there:beer Worried about the smell on the plane? after two large plates of scrambled eggs I'd be more worried about it at the poker table:puke
