Lights out, party, ping pong and steak

The bracelet party for Seb/Martin/Jens was planned for Saturday night and it ended up being at Tao at the Venetian. When all was said and done we were a party of 40+, so it made it kind of difficult to get a big enough table without sacrificing a good location near the dance floor. Though some people were forced to stand, I think most had a pretty good time.

The night was made interesting 2 hours before the limos came to pick us up, when the power in our house went out. We prayed it come back in time to get ready, but inevitably everyone ended up showering putting on the finishing touches using laptops as the only light source. Though it was interesting, I certainly wouldn't want to repeat it, it's amazing how much we depend on electricity these days.

Anyways, back to the party. After picking up some girls on the way there (not those kind of girls, though) we made our way into the club. They were a little slow on getting us the alcohol, but once it was there it was flowing pretty much nonstop until I left at around 4am. I have some pictures on my camera as well, but for the meantime you can checkout Intellipoker's gallery of the party located here: http://www.intellipoker.com/gallery.php?id=98&act=list . Luckily they cut out the inappropriate pictures, which some people I'm sure are relieved about :)

Other than that, I've just been keeping it low around the house. Somehow I managed to lose a mid 4-figure amount betting on the wrong horses at ping-pong. I seriously couldn't win a match, it was pretty sick. I haven't been able to chase those losses yet, but I'm sure opportunity will come knocking soon enough!

Last night was one of the rare times we went out to eat well. In the whole near month I've been here now, I've only made it to Ruth's Chris one time and the rest of the time it's been a random mix of burgers, pizza and chicken wings that I've been shoving down my piehole. Last night we opted for the N9ne Steakhouse at the Palms Resort and Casino. The steak (New York Sirloing) was, needless to say, phenomenal. The wine was right on the money and and price could not have been better either, considering Seb got stuck with the bill yet again after losing credit card roulette. In all fairness, he is running pretty bad in that game, haha.
