    Sounds like you have to man up Max and bet big while I sit at the Talon bar ordering Kettle ones and red bull and pointing to you and waving.

    Only if I can get it in a 40. I would love to walk into the HL room holding a 40 and then proceed to sit at a BJ table and play and drink the 40. Wonder if I would be asked to leave or since I was betting they would turn a blind eye on this move.

    I will definitely post a mid-afternoon update tomorrow. Let's figure out then who will be around Cosmo tomorrow evening. I'm thinking probably start around 10 or 11 pm

    My man. You can drink all the red bull vodkas you desire. Bring a funnel.

    Maybe if you were drinking the 40 sitting just in your boxers they would
    Question it.

    My crew has pushed the limits of such scenarios.
    For another time....

    Edit: 7am EST. goal: finish days work by 10am and make 1130 from JFK
    Estimated arrival 2pm

    I just looked at the numbers and I will be 9 hours in the air round trip and only 39 hours in Vegas. So you know I am going balls to the wall!!

    How lame is it that I rented Hangover 3 from iTunes to watch on the flight out.

    If it makes you feel any better, it's one of the in-flight movies that Delta is showing this month :evillaugh

    Since I am flying usairways they have no IFE even in first. So iTunes rental is my only option.

    Pre-Arrival Update:

    Well, at least I can say I am on my way. Heavy fog in Nashville delayed everything this morning. So the flight left about an hour late. Nevertheless, I grabbed a good window seat, took an hour nap, and now I'm updating thanks to online wifi.

    I'm obsessed with the SW flight tracker. For some reason, I really like to know where I am above the country. And for this flight, I'm noticing that the plane is taking a different route to Vegas than usual. We are in the middle of Kansas! :faint: I have a feeling that means we are going to hit some bumps above the rockies. Oh boy. Update more later .....

    UKFanatic, don't even debate about betting smaller. If you're still having fun than its a no-brainer in my opinion. Other big players have said here that once they stepped up their play it was hard to have fun at lower levels, so if that isn't the case for you than you might as well take advantage of it before it DOES become the case for you as well. We all know there's a cost to this game.

    Besides, it will only make it more interesting to see how these other schlubs finagle $500 shots if no one's play warrants it. :evillaugh

    And you guys better not pull any of the "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" bullshit. For all intents and purposes consider this site an extension of Vegas, so full disclosure!

    Just knocked down 5 free beers at the club. Now waiting to board. Over/under for drinks on board is 7. Anyone want to place a wager?

    Open book here so don't worry chicken. It's going to get ugly. Plus I don't drink $500 shots so no need for me to worry. Best I can do is high end vodka and high end craft brews.

    PBB mini bottle of vodka and about 2 ounces of sprite. Wow this is strong. FA is making sure we are well taking care of so my bet is on the over.
