Glad you had an enjoyable time in Vegas. I'm only a year away before I can make my venture there. I do have one advice about avoiding the fish in small stakes limit games. The limits just above the casino's minimum is usually a fairly better table to play at because there are still fish but they don't start cold calling with insane crap that catches most of the time. Pots are not contested by the whole table. Camping for cards actually works. at a local casino, we have 4/8, 5/10, 10/20 and 20/40 limit games... the 4/8 and 5/10 are two completely different beasts compared to the difference in price. I highly recommend you move up one level next time you go.

Oh, by the way, how did you get your room at a discount? That would help me in the future, thanks.
