My Triumphant Return

Wow, It's been over 2 months since I've authored a post. Since then, we've learned that Holzer looks like some American Idol dude + DAG, sausage bread is good in small quantities, anonymous posters annoy us, and Dev has a huge hard-on for Mets fans.

As some of you know, I've been on the road quite a bit. My travels have taken me to Vegas on many occasions for business, weddings, and the occasional binge weekend. Having just returned from a stay at the Wynn, today I come to you bearing the gift of list of my top 6 (five is too few) favorite things about a part of Vegas that is the polar opposite of where I was staying... and highly underrated; Freemont Street.

6- Toothless strippers with scars that may or may not be from bullets

5- $5 frozen blender drinks that (for an extra $2) have a few shots of Everclear in addition to whatever base alcohol is involved in the drink

4- Old school dealers with greased back hair and perfectly manicured moustaches telling you dirty jokes while you play $3 blackjack

3- $3 craps with 10x odds

2- The bad-ass muthah fuckin' feeling you get while gambling with people that are stuck in some tripped out version of the movie Casino; all the while knowing that they have probably broken someone's legs at some point in their lives.

1- The no-limit poker table at Binion's... sure it's lost some of it's appeal since it was bought by Harrah's, but it still is the poker Holy Land.



I'll be back out there again in 2 weeks for work... and then, against my better judgement, possibly again in August

Oh, by the way, according to the sports book at the Wynn, the over /under for Mets wins this year is 91... The same for the Yanks is 100. Just an FYI for those looking to make some bets.
