At the El Cortez I talked a little with a couple of discussion board friends, Gerry and Les. He had just had a bypass and recovered and was off to Vegas so I was very happy to see both of them able to travel and play.
On my last day I had an El Cortez breakfast with my VP friend Catherine after two failed attempts to connect. She was doing well with friends chasing some VP promotions at the Four Queens and at the Palms. She would have had a bed for me at the Palms and a free ticket to the Pool Party. I missed all that when I lost my cell phone charger, got tired and a bit exhausted in the heat, and just did not make it. it was my one chance to move out of the low roller category and I blew it.
Louisiana Mudgriff Dan was there doing Silverstrike business. The Palms released their new big strike too early, so he missed making the exchanges for one of his collections, but he seemed to have fun anyway. We ate together a couple times and had a fine talk. I hope to see him in March when I drive through Louisiana and play at some of those casinos.
I missed Mohave. We almost connected in Laughlin but not quite. I got really bonded to the River Palms machines and did not feel quite right either. There I had either a cold or allergies. So I did not get down to the Colorado Belle where I might have caught him playing poker.
I guess I am not much of a Vegas meet up type of guy unless the people meeting me want to play some poker somewhere. I get too absorbed with the game and I am no longer much of a Vegas companion.
