Trip Report I've Never Met a Deep-Stack I Didn't Like! Date: 07/03/08 Player: StrayBullet For Rooms: Caesars Palace,Rio,Venetian, Summary: A deep stack run of various Series held during July. Content: Day1, Thursday: The trip started with eagerly getting to the airport for my 8:34 departure only to find out that we’d been delayed an hour….ominous! The plane was packed but I had good seat mates, literally, since they were from Australia! Couple that with the Shure earphones I bought last nite during an outing into a torrential downpour and I was in heaven! I popped in Beatles Love and ordered 2 jack&cokes, I was set for a cross-country trip. We obviously landed late but it was a quick trip to the car rental center and thanks to a good decision on my part by signing up for Dollar Express, I bypassed the 30+ mokes standing in line and was in my ride within 5 minutes! I was checked into the corporate apartment and calling Photoc to arrange our sushi lunch by noon. By 12:45 we were chop-stick deep into a $24.95, all you can eat baby, just call me raw fish lunch :D All inclusive, it can’t be beat for the price! Nice way to start off a much needed vacation, thanks Richard! After filling up to the brim, I was on my way downtown to pick up a few Cubans and hopefully see my “friend” Luis as Bad Habits. I was greeted by Isaac, the son of the owner, who’s running the store for the summer. Nice enough youngin’ but the safe held slim pickins. I picked up a couple of Romeo Juliets and a Monte Cristo, then I was on my way to the grocery store for a few supplies before heading back to the apartment. I called Clem (Alan) to confirm our dinner at N9NE and the evening was set. Valet was easy enough and soon I was introducing myself to Alan before heading off to our table. We had a great dinner accompanied by good conversation, all in all, a price well paid. I’d decided long ago what I’d be having, so I could compare to previous dishes at CraftSteak and Hugo’s Cellar. I have to say that although it was a good meal, CraftSteak still takes it down, no question. Service and atmosphere were great, can’t complain a bit but when I compare dishes, there was no doubt in my mind who wins out! The lobster bisque was good and the presentation/table side preparation was great but taste wise, CraftSteak wins again. Same goes for the Key Lime Martini’s, again a good drink but CraftSteak blows ‘em away! I capped it off with the Kobe Burger and again, it was good but in no way compares to the steak I previously had. I didn’t expect it to, so I can’t knock ‘em for that at all. The eye-candy nod has to go the Palms though….OMG :shock: I was unimpressed with the poker room as a regular got a seat before I could even get on the list even though I’d been standing at the desk waiting patiently….sad! And when it came to picking up at valet, they lost my car! They’d cleared out the line twice and I damn near finished an entire cigar before getting my ride back, needless to say there was no tip…WTF?!?!?! All in all, I had a great meal with Alan, very nice meeting you and good luck in San Diego! I’m actually glad I didn’t play poker today as coming from the East Coast and traveling as much as I have recently, I would’ve just spewed money! I’m playing in the $1060 Venetian tomorrow at noon and after a well rested nite, I hope to make a deep run! Hopefully I’ll make contact with a few more AVP’rs as well as old friends! Man it’s great to be back in Vegas! |
