Well I'm back, thank God! We got there Sat and since we had traveled all day we just walked around a little and ate dinner and went to bed. Sun morning we got up and ate breakfast and then my wife wanted to go take some pics of the lake so we did. Problem is she fell and broke her right arm. Spent Sun in the ER. Tried getting an earlier flight home but couldnt for various reasons. Finally Monday after spending all day Sun in teh ER and the room she felt ok enough to get out and walk around some and we took a sleigh ride.
Mon night I did go to the casino a little while b/c I couldnt stand the room any longer. Poker is almost non-existent in Tahoe. Really surprised me. Only 3 casinos have it and Harrah's doesnt even have a poker room. I thought the lady who told me that was nuts when I asked. They own Harveys who does have it but I didnt care for the setup so I played at MontBleu. Finished 6th out of 32 in a $40 tourney but it only payed 4 spots. Then I bought in for $100 at the $1/$2 no limit holdem cash game and cashed out for $174 only playing an hour b/c I needed to go check on my wife. If I could have stayed there and played I probably could have made a couple hundred bucks.
Lost $20 on a slot machine, $40 on roulette, and won $11 on video poker so with just the little bit I played I finished down $15. I guess not to bad but no where near what I normally do. But given the circumstances, I guess it wasnt too bad. The wife and I decided no more winter vacations! No snow and ice for us.
I do have to say though it was very beautiful there and if your a local or go there you need to eat at Kalani's in the Heavenly area. It was awesome. The Heavenly and Rainbow rolls were exceptional.
