For whatever reason, I haven't been nearly as excited to go to Vegas this time as I have been in the past.  I have no explaination for it really.  Maybe my mind has finally started to consider what it is...work.  I usually take my poker sessions pretty seriously but a part of me still considers it vacation.  Since I've already been to Vegas recently, this trip seemed more business like than vacation this time around.

We rolled into Vegas around 5:30pm local time.  We checked in at Binions and met everyone there who were all playing the Binion's event.  By the time we settled in, everybody had been knocked out of the tournament.  We decided to head over to the Sahara and play their 7pm tournament.  I didn't fare too well.  I didn't pick up a hand the entire tournament and decided to finally push with AJ on the button and the bb woke up with QQ.  What can you do.  I didn't play any more poker that night.  I spent the rest of the evening playing blackjack waiting for everybody else to finish.  One of the guys we were with wound up chopping it.  Pretty tired, I called it a night after that.  Lets hope for bigger and better things to come.
