Viva Las Vegas!

Well, after a tough week, thanks to Martin Luther King, Americans enjoy a long weekend ... and for this weekend, we are OFF TO VEGAS for the 2005 MBA Poker Tournament at Caesar's Palace!

So a total of almost FIFTY of us from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (including 5 close friends of mine that would "buddy" together and share two rooms, etc) jetted off after class on Friday to head to one of the most amazing and lit-up cities in the world!

The first thing you see when you get off the plane is NOT security guards NOT customs - it's slot (poker) machines. Yup, you got it - here they are, with my buddy, Andrew ...



The city itself looks AMAZING at night. It's filled with beautiful themed hotels and neon galore ...



People walking and driving 24 hours a day ...



And just extraordinary amounts of people! Even at 3-4am in the morning, casinos are packed with all sorts of people trying to win some money ...



Favourite site on the first day? The silly themed slot machines. They'll make up ANYTHING to make it interesting - including Star Wars:
