After 6 weeks of harassment, this morning i finally got EmpirePoker [empirepoker.com] to admit that they promised to pay my $10,000 buy-in for the World Series of Poker [worldseriesofpoker.com], when i missed the $15.3K Bellagio tournament cuz my brain was broken [livejournal.com]. Moreover, they're unexpectedly giving me the $2000 for expenses that all the other EmpirePoker WSoP players are getting. Being greedy, i asked if they could bump that up to $5,300, since that's the difference between the buy-in i won and the WSoP. Haven't heard back on that, yet. Perhaps i should have waited for the two grand to be transferred before asking for more, lest they revoke that offer...

Anyway, i'll be in Vegas from July 6-16 at The Orleans [orleanscasino.com], in a room with two queen beds so that if friends wanted a free room in Vegas, i've got one. Right now, only punkalicia [livejournal.com] has expressed interest, though she needs to claim what date(s). Well, my brother has expressed interest, too, but as he suffers from severe sleep apnea and wears a Darth Vader mask, he ain't sleeping in my room...or even in the same hotel.

Anyone else want to stake a claim on a bed?

Or my bed, if you're a cute, female-type person?

Finally, if anyone has Vegas advice that wasn't covered in this thread [goats.com], go ahead and give it to me. And no, still no hookers.

$1 steaks are good, stay away from any game other than poker, and there is no sex in the Champagne Room.

That should cover you.

Right about now I feel very sorry I have promised to cat-sit for my aunt after the 4th. Of course, this is the aunt who got me my (full-time, benefits-included, well-paying) job, so I can't complain too much.

Aw, hell, yes I can. I wanna go to Vegas!

Ed,

You know I'll be there. Keep the beer cold, and the fondue on simmer, eh?

See the show Skin Tight! I did and it was great! Good luck and play tight the early rounds. After that, play your game your way. You can beat the best if the card Gods smile on you!

Hey, you post a dumb comment, you get a dumb moderation.

Have you considered legally changing your name to "Goats.com"?

Way to stand up for your opinions, dude.
