Vegas Trip Update - Viva La France

Turns out we got an invitation to play in a slot tourney at Paris. The invitation included 3 nights and $50 food voucher. I called Stacey's Dad, Vince, and wanted to see if he got the same offer. He did and after a few minutes we each rang them up and tried to change our reservations (they were also staying in Harrah's). I couldn't get in. WTF? I got the invitation TODAY.

I called her Dad back and he was psyched because he was IN, with an extra day, and luckily still on the phone getting his confirmation number. we were like you lucky @##^% you got the last spot!?!?!

Vince seized an opportunity. The girl helping him was from . On top of that she was Italian. We did the relay phone thing for my rewards number and other personal info and he managed sweet talk her a little and got us in, with the fourth free night, the $50 food credit, and adjoining rooms.

We are in Paris, comped, with a Grant's worth of food - NICE.

Here is a shot of her Dad and his gangsta car on one of our Vegas trips. We have gone to Vegas with her parents more than 10 times. They are a lot of fun. I actually had her Mom yelling for a "Monkey" on the blackjack table (any ten is a Monkey). You can call for it when you need it, or when you need the delaer to have it. I learned about this magic from the master blackjack playa - Rico - from my first Poker Gang Vegas trip back in '05 (click the link to an early Mookie Blog) with Armando, Clara, Rico, Henry, Carol, Scott, and a fun, hillarious, guy named Joe. Rico picked it up from this CMT show.



Is it obvious we are psyched to get to Vegas?
