The Golden Nugget is located on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. It is in my opinion the best hotel in Downtown Vegas. You meet a lot of interesting people there. For some reason I meet a lot of Canadians playing poker at this room. Saturday night I met a couple from Edmonton Alberta. They were on their one year anniversary trip. In talking to them I discovered that they were property managers back home. So if I ever am interested in apartments for rent in Edmonton, I know where to go.
I had a very interesting night that night. I played in the First annual Pin Strips and Poka Dots Poker Tournament. This was a benefit for the Las Vegas Museum Guild. There were celebrities all over the place. There were also a number of famous poker players there. All in all there were over ten tables to start.
For the first part of the tournament I was card dead. I managed to stay even with the initial chip stack but could get absolutely no traction. I watched as people increased their stacks all around me. To make a long story short I play and played and finally made the final table. I was the low chip stack. then my luck turned and while at the final table I got pocket aces 4 times. I ended up wining the tournament. Absolutely amazing.
