After playing my WPT at the show, you can go to Best Bet, which is not far away, and play some real poker.  This happens to be the site of a WPT event.

It's a heck of a nice poker room.  Easily 300+ players on a Fri/Sat evening.  I've left more money there than I care to admit :)  If anyone has a home game and are looking for a mediocre poker player to fill a seat, just let me know!

Nicely done Steve.  You just got crossed off my poker-playing friends list. 

Just kidding!

I checked out the Bold City Brewery while I was in town. Excellent tour. The selection was limited due to their brewing schedule, but what they had on tap was still delicious. I'd recommend either the 1901 Red (dark ale with roasted aroma and taste that was very smooth) or their IPA (good, hoppy aroma and flavor). If you haven't gone yet, live in the area, and love beer, I'd recommend making a visit.

By the way, their flight sampler is free for first time visitors.

No, that must have been my twin brother here yesterday. Day before? I also have a cousin that looks like me. Okay, I have 365 clones around the area.   ;D
