Bachelor Party in Vegas

If there's one thing I know, I have a great group of friends. I took off to Vegas last Wednesday, and I had a blast with my buds. Bryan, Ryan, Cory, and Kevin joined me for an extended weekend of fun. The festivities included tons of poker tournaments at:

• Sahara (full of really aggressive, bad players)
  
• Planet Hollywood (very loose)
  
• The Venetian (more talented players)
  
• Treasure Island (donkey central)
• Excaliber (electronic poker tables)

We also had a great dinner at Smith and Wollensky's, and some good, bachelor party fun with Ken, the waiter there with a great Chris Farley imitation.

At the Venetian, Bryan, Cory, Kevin, and I all entered their $150 deep-stack tournament. I was out after about 46 minutes after I severely misplayed a hand. Kevin was out after two or three hours. Cory and Bryan, though, busted out 10th and 11th place (at the same time) in a 170-person field.

The quality of poker players in this group was really high. It made the bachelor party even that much more outstanding.
