Interesting convo with the missus on reveal night.

Me: APAT are going to Vegas this year

Amanda: Can I come?

Me: No

Amanda: Well your not going then.

Me: I was only joking Darling, of course you can come too.

Amanda: Great.

Job done.  ;D

Great negotiation skills Stuart.

I felt you really stood your ground there for just about the right amount of time.   ;)


Do we need an APAT WAGS & HABS thread ?    ;D

Said somewhere else on this forum I was going to do some top 10 lists for Vegas so thought I better get my finger out and get started.

What better place to start than the first meal of the day:

Top 10 Breakfasts in Vegas (according to me - feel free to disagree)

1. The Egg and I
2. Grand Lux Cafe - Venetian
3. Augustus Cafe - Caesars Palace
4. La Creperie - Paris
5. Lago Buffet - Caesars Palace
6. Rio Buffet
7. Bellagio Buffet
8. Le Village Buffet - Paris
9. Room Service
10. Denny"s

Bellagio buffet far too low on list (imo) and assuming you haven"t tried the Aria buffet as that would be well up there.

I could agree to it being the highest buffet on the list as it is similar to Caesars and Rio but in recent years the "Cafe" breakfast is by far better.

I haven"t tried the Aria (that"s 2 for my list  ;D)

"The Egg and I" is unbeatable though, if you haven"t tried it then do so and I promise you won"t regret it.

OK, we"ve had some breakfast so time for poker.

Top 5 Poker rooms in Vegas (according to me - feel free to disagree)

1. Caesar"s (high rake but best all round for everything else)
2. Venetian (Would be top every time except for the fact some tables are almost on the casino floor)
3. Rio (during WSOP, not played there at other times)
4. Binions (for the nostalgia)
5. Bills Gambling Hall (for the local drunk fish)
