Vegas Trip- Actually had to do Some Work to pay for the Ride

Day5/6/7, 9/25-27:
Pretty boring couple of days as I actually had to finally do some work
I had to observe a new Instructor over the course of 4 classes, and then provide feedback at the end of the day. Even with light work days, I knew I wasn’t in the right frame of mind, so I don’t and didn’t play. On Tuesday nite after chowing down, I headed over to Caesars to talk with fellow AVP’r EightOuts (Chris). He was sitting in the $1/3 ($500) and took a quick break so we could talk about some hands played. Seems he had a British Maniac at his table but the hands discussed were pretty standard, just tough to adjust and not be run down. I’m looking forward to talking more, and will keep an eye out for the pm!
Wednesday was even more mundane. We did however snag a free lunch out of the regional training director so that was a plus, saved my per diem for later debauchery We ate that nite at Red Robin, good food and good service! And they had GREAT drinks, you can read that as “stiff!” Apparently they didn’t mark off that I had been delivered the drink ordered and soon enough another was delivered. I had to actually turn it down as I had to teach on Thursday and drive back to the hotel. They were amazed that I turned the drink down, seems pretty standard to me!
Thursday, I had some real work to do, teaching a class in the morning. Conducted a good session and was prepared to review the class with the observing Instructor that afternoon but he was in a car accident the night before and needed to attend to other things. I had already checked out of the hotel so I grabbed some lunch at Grimaldi’s on south Eastern, YUMMY!!! Leftovers came with as I headed back to the Northwest side of town to check back into the corporate apartment for the remainder of the trip. It’s AMAZING how much traffic exists at 2:30 in the afternoon And what the HELL is with the Nevada “agriculture” plate. Seems like a huge oxymoron to me
Still haven’t decided what I want to do tonite. I know I have plenty of options for tourneys, but I don’t know what the turnouts will be like. I have also wanted to check out “Love” at the Mirage, so who knows. Till tomorrow, wish me luck!
