Wait...What!?

That is right up my alley. I will be there Fri/Sat/Sun 18-20 and that tourney looks sweet. I plan on playing the 7pm $175 at the V on Friday night, then this on Saturday.

How late and where will most of you be drinking Friday night? I used to party hard with some Brit Sailors and Marines on a little island named Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Never drank as much before or since. Can't wait!

Adam

Wait, let me get this straight:

you're flying across the pond with 50+ Brits/Welshmen (and God knows maybe even an Irishman or a Scot in the mix)

you're coming over here to get married

you will be in Las Vegas

and you will be.... SOBER

Is there a medical condition (e.g., allergy to alcohol) involved???

Are you trying to dispel years of soccer hooligan press in a single Vegas trip???

Are you some sort of nut job???


In all seriousness, Congratulations!

Be sure to tell your band of Brit invaders to have fun, but not too much fun. Remember "what happens in Vegas stays on Facebook and Youtube forever." And try not to take all of the drunkard's money at the tables -- the locals like it when you leave some of that cash behind on something other than good ale.

Dave

P.S.

Paulie -- grab some Gauloises and a French passport and nobody will know the difference.

Friday night...we could be anywhere...but Diablo's &/or The Pub both at the Monte Carlo...or possibly Margaritaville at the Flamingo have been mentioned.

I'll probably be tweeting like an idiot so you could follow me @Paulie_D59 or #apatvegas is the one we're using for this little shindig.

I do plan on pushing people towards some late night divebars and the like but you never know.

I'll be one of the fat ones...



Sunday night for me will probably be at the Mixed Game at the IP. I loves me some 3-2-1 Omaha.

Cheers Dwaye.

We have a tentative plan for Friday which will start on schedule and then undoubtedly end in chaos.

We're celebrating a 21st Birthday and Adam's Stag Do so chaos is probably understating it a little.

It goes like this...we hope:

Pre-event drinks at Diablos @ Monte Carlo from 3pm (assuming we're still alive after Thursday night at Carnaval Court)

Official kick-off at The Pub (also at the Monte Carlo) at 5pm.

From there I plan on dragging people to at least two of these...

Frankie's Tiki Room (1712 W Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas)

The Bikini Bar (3355 Spring Mtn Rd, Las Vegas)

McMullans Irish Pub (4650 W. Tropicana, Las Vegas)

Come one, come all.

It's my Son's 21st and his right of passage will be epic

Not sure a picture of me would be a good idea - Nice one Travel Guru !

Oh and the Irish contingent may be small in number but they will more than make up for that discrepency.

I hope to meet up with yall somewhere along the way we dont get in to 9pm
