Awesome trip report like always. The meat jacket had me laughing so hard I was in tears. And next time I go to the airport, I'm bring little bottles of alcohol in a ziplock bag. That was a fantastic idea! Looking forward to IMOP V next year. I think I'll have to see the live show as well when it comes around.

The Ironmen at kickoff ... sober and laser-focused on the IMOP trophy (l to r, DIA, Santa, Barbie, Sahara, & Lucky):

Image



Santa pays off a football prop bet to Grange:

Image



Lucky & Santa play cash game at Planet Hollywood (note Barbie's monster stack on the left--Barbie is off feeding his nicotine addiction):

Image



Barbie cashes out big at Planet Hollywood (this money would find new owners as IMOP progressed):

Image



Santa all decked out in his white trash tuxedo at Sahara (the casino, not the Ironman):

Image



Lucky does his horizontal robot dance in the great escape from Sahara (the casino, not the Ironman):

Image



Lucky does his robot dance outside Caesars Palace, with a real robot dancer!

Pictures from the IMOP Jacket Dinner @ Samba (Mirage)

DIA sports a puke brown number with built in belt, and sipping caipirinha No. 1 on his road to straddling hell:

Image



Santa rocks his white burlap Saturday Night Fever suit with black sandals:

Image



Barbie chows down on a plate of meat in this lime green beauty:

Image



Lucky saves the kids in this lovely purple velvet number:

Image



Sahara, faithful to his online tourney roots, goes powder blue Western:

Image



Grange gets raves for his royal blue, electric blue, tan, and brown paisley jacket:
