The 2006 World Series of Poker Dopefest at Las Vegas!!! (July 27-30th)

I am going to have to pass on the dinner, so I will be one of those joining you all later at the Monte Carlo Brewpub - about 8:30 or 9:00 or so.

(BTW, tis a tad warm in Vegas currently, so for our out-of-town guests, be sure to bring those swim suits, and a light sweater…yes, you heard me right…a light sweater…whenever it is this hot, the casinos crank the air conditioners up and I guarantee there will be a few times you notice you are shivering from the cold in some of those places, especially if you sit and play a machine for more than 30 minutes, of if you go to see one of the big shows on The Strip.)

I hope folks are not bowing out of dinner because of the part of town the Lotus of Siam is in. Seven can ride in the YetiMobile, safety in numbers and all that.

At any rate, it won’t really matter as long as EVERYBODY!!!11 comes to the Monte Carlo Brewpub later on. I haven’t been to Vegas in over 3 years, I’m really looking forward to hanging with you guys, tossing back a few brews, taking Yeti’s money, and cheering Aholibah to victory.

8:30 at the MC brewpub. I owe several of you a beer, so be prepared to drink! :smiley:

I will be flying solo, so you can just count me as 1. Looking forward to seeing all of you in just a few days!!!

Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. It’ll be just me, so put me own for one.

Dag Otto = 2
Silenus = 0 (but will meet us at MC Brew Pub - closer to 8:30 or 9pm)

Capa84 = ? (Did you fall off the face of the earth, or what?)

Sound off! Did I miss anybody or is there any last minute Dopers out there?

And Dag, could you please call LoS a day ahead and make the reservation under Cecil Adams once we get this count finalized? Thanks.

Fly safe, Aholi…we’ll give you a call when we get to the MC Friday afternoon.

I’m gonna have to back off and say maybe to the brewpub only.

Sorry, folks, duty probably will call.

Yeti = 1
Duke = 1
Aholi = 1
DMark = 0
Doorses = 2
LVgeogeek = 2
Dag Otto = 2
Silenus = 0
Sleestak = 1
Rico = 0
Kinoons = 0
Capa84 = ? (Did you fall off the face of the earth, or what?)

Ok, then that’s 10 without Capa84. I’ll put him down for 0, unless he posts before Thursday evening.

Sure thing.

Thanks, Dag. What time are you planning on arriving? We should be checking in on Friday around 2:00pm and maybe hit the MC tables for 2 or 3 hours and give Duck a good ol’ roasting.

Heh, the only way you guys will get any of my stack is to swipe some chips when I go take a leak.

Gah! I will be in Vegas, but my whole time will be visiting with a friend that lives there. I’m not sure she’d understand y’all. :smiley:

I demand that you all wear a SDMB badge or something distinctive around in case I get free on Friday and I can run into you. Congrats, Aholibah!

Congratulations, also to Capa84!!

I will be wearing the requisite “shirt that can been seen from orbit.” I remember Yeti, so we’ll look for him at the Monte Carlo.

I’m not sure, possibly around 3 or 4. Maybe earlier*. I sure don’t want to miss out on stealing Duck’s chips.

*probably later.

Ask for Cecil Adams or friends of Cecil…

I still want to point out that Yeti and Duke suck.

Just again for the record, I’m soooooo jealous of you guys. Boston will be fun and all, but Vegas is Vegas. :frowning:

Yes, yes we do. We are able to struggle forth, however, since we are going to Vegas this weekend. It’s a burden we must bear, we will manage, I guess. :stuck_out_tongue:
(Wish you and all the Thursday Night Irregulars could come, maybe we can do it again some time.)

Small change of plans.

I’ll still be able to make it, but we’ll be at a different hotel and I now need a ride. I’ll be at the Boulder Station Hotel. My e-mail is in my profile if anyone can help.

Thanks,

Robin

Reservation has been made. 6:30 pm for 10 people.

Lotus of Siam is at 953 E Sahara Ave, east of the the strip. There is a link to mapquest on that web site. It doesn’t face the street, rather it is in a large strip mall and all the shops face into the center. I think it’s called Commerce Center or something like that; it’s not too hard to find. It’s on the south side of the road.

Final weather report - just on the news a few minutes ago, it will be in the low 100’s, however, chance of severe thunderstorms (usually late afternoons) every day through next Tuesday…which means it might be a bit more humid that usual here.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at MC Brewpub Friday night!
And for those looking for something to do afterwards, there is a free “dueling pianos” show at NYNY, the casino directly next door to the Monte Carlo.
