Vegas This Weekend
I’m going out to Vegas this weekend for a few nights. This whole trip originated after getting an offer for a few free nights at the Venetian. When I saw airfare was cheap and that a Deep Stack Extravaganza series was running at the Venetian, I was like, “why not?”
Since buying airfare, the whole trip has taken on more significance. Two friends are now meeting up out there and the Venetian altered their Deep Stack schedule by adding the $5,000 buy-in inaugural Main Event for the newly-created North American Poker Tour (NAPT). That event starts on Saturday. On Friday, I’ll be chasing a pipe-dream of participating by playing some satellites.
A few weeks ago, my friends and I booked a table at Tao, the nightclub at Venetian, for Friday night. Just today I saw that PokerStars is holding a launch party for the NAPT that same night which will be headlined by T-Pain. Apparently Tony Hawk, Christian Slater, Brad Garrett, Marlon Wayans and several others will be in attendance as well. How cool is that? Just so happen to book a table at a certain club on a certain night in Vegas and it turns out PokerStars is holding some huge launch party there!
Should be interesting. I’ve been to Tao before and the place is pretty huge, so it’s entirely possible that the launch party will be going on in a part of the club that my friends and I are unable to gain access to. That, or I’ll be standing on top of a piano singing I’m On a Boat with T-Pain.
Hey, it’s Vegas. Anything can happen!
