"The Sahara for the 7PM tournament! This year it is a little sad for me because Dan’s brother Doug isn’t along and he HATES that place and all it stands for, which is one of the reasons I drag us over there every year (that and it’s the only live tournament I’ve won/chopped). We skip the horrific Mexican restaurant this year and jump right in the tournament."
You brought back horrific memories. The stupid @$$ Sahara sports book screwed up a parlay bet - and the place is so dead the teller remembered my actual bet the next day when I came back to cash the ticket and to her credit was honest about it. They refused to give me my winnings but gave me a voucher for a free dinner ... to that crappy Mexican food restaurant. Sheesh, talk about losing twice. We intentionally tried to drink the bar dry as revenge for screwing me out of my $ and it still sucked. Multiple lessons learned: don't stay at the Strat, no matter how good the promo deal is; don't venture into the Sahara, even if it is just to place a random baseball parlay bet; don't eat at the Mexican restaurant, even if it is free.

Now THAT is a bad beat story!
We ate there on IMOP 2 and Grange asked for more tortillas - and they said, "we're out." Out of tortillas at a Mexican restaurant!!!!!
