Spent my morning at Excalibur. Walked away $30 richer after having lost all morning then hitting two big hands. Got some choice interviews with the tourists at the table and this british dude, set up an interview with Tony, Poker Director.Then met with Edna Dalton, Poker Director of the Aladdin, and it just so happened her husband Dave was hanging out there on his day off. Dave runs poker for the Bellagio and is THE poker bigwig in Las Vegas. I got a half hour with him :-) I could pretty much say "fuck research" the rest of the week with the info I got from talking to him. Awesome, awesome, awesome.I am only in my room to write up something for class, then I am off to Imperial Palace to take photos of cars (for class) and then to Harrah's to meet up with some friends of Ed and Paul, the guys who own the bar where I spend most of my life in Tampa.Finally, while I am looking sexy in my black pinstripe suit, white oxford, and black tie (it *is* memorial day after all) the 95 degrees outside feel like nothing compared to the humidity in Tampa. Everything here is wonderful so far.I decided while walking through Paris that I was going to fall in love today.
