Well I took almost a whole week off from writing and I'm sorry for that. I want and need to keep this blog up to date and will try harder to do so in the future. I'm still not sure how and what I want this blog to grow into but feel like I have a better grasp of what it is that I want, we will see.
On the work front this past week it was in a word great. Very quiet, very few problems and sort of reminded me of years past and the reason I have stayed on for 15 years. In years past you did your job and people would just leave you alone to do your job. When you messed up they would come down on you and you either picked it up or you were gone. It seems like in today's work place showing up everyday and doing a good job and then going home just does not seem to make it anymore. Let's hope this past weeks trend continues but somehow I seem to doubt that it will.
On the Las Vegas front. The Big Elvis got married. The Big Elvis use to weigh close to 900 pounds but had a super great voice and puts on the best free show on the strip everyday at Bills Hotel and Casino on the strip. The BE has now lost over 500 pounds met a nice lady at one of his shows and now is making a go of it. The couple got married at the lounge that he works at everyday....

I wish them great luck in the future.
One of my favorite hotels in all of LV is Southpoint. This weekend they are opening a brand new section to their hotel with new rooms, bars, eating places etc. It is a great hotel to stay and play at and is owned by a single owner not a big company that only makes it better. The service is great, the food is good with lots of choices, 6 bars to play VP at, a movie theater, a arena for horse shows, a good pool and big clean nice rooms. It is a great place to check out next time one is in LV. You can either take a cab out from Mandalay Bay that will cost you about 20 bucks from there or you can pick up their shuttle at the Fashion Show Mall.
On the gambling front, I have not made much progress this week at all. I'm in the process of reading some books and need to practice my VP strategy more in the coming weeks. I'm still holding out hope that I will be able to go out the week of Labor Day but money is tight right now as it is for just about everyone who indeed works, so I may just have to hold off until the week of my birthday in October. By the way if anyone out there wants to practice or just have fun playing videopoker the very best site to go to is videopoker.com. It is free and you are playing the very same games from IGT that are inside the casinos.
On tap for the weekend is not much other than to try and beat the heat by doing things in the mornings and late afternoons. My nephew spent the night last night and we stayed up watching tv until past 2am this morning. For today really no plans other than to surf the net, read some books, watch some taped shows and movies and practice some VP. Then it is back to work tomorrow night at 10pm. July and early August is really a drag time for most everyone but things do seem to pick up past mid August when kids go back to school and football camps and practice starts back up. Thus the best time of the year is just around the corner.
