Friday-Sunday

Esther and I went to Vegas for the weekend.  We stayed at the Plaza and got a room that overlooked Fremont Street. Here are a few of the highlights.

• Played in a NL holdem tournament and a sit-and-go.  I didn't cash in either of them but I think played okay.
• Tried out the buffet at Mandalay Bay.  It wasn't bad but it's not worth the price.
• Watched Carrot Top at the Luxor.
• Lost almost all the money I took.
