I just got a email offer from the Venetian for suite rooms at only $109 per night for a 1400 square foot suite. You have to book by this friday. These are normally $500+ per night rooms. They have next week availible for the nights of 11,12,13th during the show. I will be at the forum party with my wife.

Great party as usual Bill. Thanks.

Hope you broke the bank at the tables at the MGM.

Played until 7:30AM got up a little, but Friday night didn't do good. Poker wise the week sucked. The party went well, I was worried if everyone got enough food.

 

[I.B. Washincars]

I put 20 bucks in a poker machine, played an hour and cashed out with 20 bucks. Mary put 5 bucks in a slot machine and turned it into $213. I asked her how she did it. She explained her system to me, after which I have lost the will to live.

Thanks again Bill. I enjoyed the forum dinner and getting to put some faces with handles.

In case anyone is wondering, the 6 SS mat clamps I won did make it through security in my carry on. The screener stopped and stared for awhile, called another person over, then asked me what they were before finally just letting me through.

Bill,

Not sure about the food...but had lots of beer

It was nice to meet you and some of the guys...didn't get around to everyone this year, hopefully will do better next year at it. Lots of fun for me...my wife not so much

I didn't gamble one single cent in any machine, but still won the $500 of chems!

Thanks Bill!
