Interesting what the popularity of poker has done for this town. Today I got to visit 6 poker rooms - 3 of which I watched close down in the 90s. Seems like everyone is jumping on the poker bandwagon and I must say, it's quite nice to see poker rooms in every hotel.
I made it the first night without going broke. I'll try and keep a running tab of my gambling (shouldn't be much) during this trip. I'm here for G2E so I won't have too much time to play. But so far....
$210.00 - Bally's Poker Room No-Limit Hold 'Em Game
$ 23.00 - Harrah's Poker Room $2-4 Hold 'Em Game

I still have the ability to get a $5000.00 marker downstairs. Luckily, after drinking 100 Red Bulls, I'm crashing hard and am going to hit the sack. Coming home in the morning.
