Returned from Vegas earlier today :disappoin. Kinda wish I could have stayed a little longer, but back to work tomorrow. Had a fantastic time lounging around the pool with the family and mostly doing nothing. Turns out the kid is the next Michael Phelps! I made it out to Casa Fuente for a while one day, took me freakin' forever to find it...turns out I was looking in the wrong damn casino :rolling:. Fell in love with their mojitos :drool: and the waitress wasn't bad on the eyes either :halfgrinw. I don't think I've ever taken so long to finally make a selection in a humidor with so little :drool: :grin:. Also went and visited the Pawn Stars store (from the show on TV) and I gotta say wow, I did not realize how incredibly small that store was...I mean it's freaking tiny! Also went to Exotic Pets which was awesome, but then you've seen my collection of snakes :cool: (if you haven't, check out my pics). My wife really liked the store too, although she was a little freaked out by the Reticulated Python that was staring her down. She even bough a snake of her very own :applause:. I also spent a few days playing in the National Open chess tournament, which was really cool. Overall a great vacation. Hope to be able to do it again next year! Oh yeah, I would have some pics (a few specifically for Frank and Bob :halfgrinw), but seem to have left the camera in Vegas...:disappoin...will post when I find it.

very cool, we were in vegas this past march but I never made it to the gold and silver pawn shop. Was anyone there?

Also...get back in the arcade, it really is no fun without competition...

Sounds like you had a great time! I'd love to go back to Vegas and actually check out some of what there is to see instead of just flying/driving in and out

Glad to hear you and the family had a great time Dan. Joe and I still want to know what you selected from Casa Fuente's humidor!

I live hours away from Vegas but we just do not make it there often. When I was younger would go all the time. I do need to go and check out Casa Fuente though. Sounds like a road trip is in the future plans.

Not that we could see. One of the guys said that the owner was there earlier, but apparently they work in the back mostly and only come out to do autographs :frown:. Kind of sucks that that is what it has come to ya know...

So what did you select from the humi and how was it?

Had the Casa Fuente Toro, was a damn fine smoke. Next time I'm going to have to bring more money and bring a box home :grin:.

how'd you do in the tournament?
Not as well as I'd have liked, but I haven't been playing seriously much lately so it kind of showed. I got 2.5/6 and dropped my rating about 30 points :frown:.
