If anyone"s interested the Aussie Pink Floyd are playing at the Playhouse on Saturday night and they"re excellent. I saw them at the Clyde Auditorium last year and they played a 3+ hour set.

Hope I don"t get the chance to see them though  ;D

The Gyle shopping Centre is pretty mediocre tbh. A 15 min car trip or 30 minute bus journey to Ocean terminal, plenty of shopping, eating places and a tour of the Royal Yacht would be a good afternoon imo.

And of course there is Harvey Nicks in the town centre.

Uhm, I"m kinda stuck with the same challenge.  Having the girl around would be a distraction for my game, like it or not.  Anyways, she"d get bored of the casino in ten minutes I bet (she"s never been in one and is not interested in poker).

So maybe its a good idea to get all of them to meet up and let them go out shopping, gossiping, drinking tea etc. together?  Would be great, since which one of us really enjoys those shopping trips, honoustly?  I like it as long as things "keep moving", but try this and try that and spend half an hour in each shop...am I ranting?   :-\

For any player who needs some motivation to win. I think it would be a great idea for all the WAGs to meet up and do shopping, lunch, shopping, dinner, see a show etc. This would surely motivate partners to actually win something, Dublin is expensive!! :o

Within walking distance from the casino is St Stephens Green, St Stephens Green Centre, shopping mall, Grafton Street, fashionable shoping area, leading down to the River Liffey, cross to find OConnell Street or hang a left for trendy Temple Bar area. The is a pub every 50 paces. Enjoy!! ;D

How about - the Street Entertainment Festival which is on all this w/e - in Merrion Square I do believe. 

Also I think there is an opportunity to meet and listen to some writers and I am sure there is something relevant to James Joyce, and obviously a Joyce Centre (for want of a better word).

Try the Tourism Board online and discover a heck of a lot more in addition to retail therapy!

Hope all the accompanying wives/partners/girlfriends enjoy their visit.
