I land in Vegas at 7:10am tomorrow.

15 guys coming in from California, Alabama, North Carolina, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, New York, Texas and Florida.  It's our 36th annual Labor Day college buddy trip.  We have 7 Carson Tower rooms booked and a pool view Spa Suite, which we use to host a couple of parties and football watching.  A California buddy is always our mule, and brings booze, beer and munchies to stock the suite.

The only scheduled dinner so far is at Carson Kitchen, which I love.  Taking a guided tour of the Mob Museum on Friday.  Plan to also breakfast at Eat, and Therapy.  Plan to cocktail at The Downtown Cocktail Room, and Atomic Liquors.  Also plan to happy hour tomorrow at Oscar's for half prices appetizers and alcohol.  Will likely dinner at the Smashed Pig also.  Might also dinner at Andiamo's Italian Steak House at The D.  I've only eaten there once and it's was nothing short of magnificent.

Wish me luck on the blackjack tables!

Stay hydrated, it'll be as hot as it's been all year. And if you're going to play blackjack, stroll down to the El Cortez and play the last 3:2 single deck game in town. Play basic strategy, and you're almost at even.
