It’s been a while since I last posted something, so here we go. Friday Saturday and Sunday, I went to Vegas with a friend of mine who came to visit. Chris had already seen Vegas and didn’t want to go. A couple of nights before, we had met a guy who was also going to Vegas that weekend, so we decided to go with him. It is a 7 hour drive by bus and only 4 hours by car. We were supposed to leave Friday noon, but we had to wait on the guy’s brother. While we were waiting, he took us to the golf court to play in a poker tournament against lawyers and doctors. We didn’t win the tournament, but was a nice experience.
We arrived in Vegas at 1am. Hotels in Vegas were very expensive, because t was labour day-weekend. Lucky fur us there was a spot available in a US Hostel. For the people who have already seen the movie ‘Hostel’, don’t worry, this Hostel had everything: a pool table, a swimming pool …
Vegas is crazy! It is like ‘De Efteling’, but then a billion times bigger and more luxurious. We went into all the different casinos and it was mind blowing. On the strip, this is the place were all the big casino’s are located, there was a lot of police, to make sure that everybody who comes to Vegas feels safe. They are all dressed in yellow and they are pretty funny.
If you ever go to Vegas, there is one concept that you have to know and that is: complementary. Vegas has got one goal and that is to take all your money. They do, however, want you to have fun while they take it, so while you are playing blackjack, poker, roulette and even slots, you get your drinks for free. We took advantage of that 
. After playing poker, we played on the slots for one dollar and during the 15 minutes that we were playing we drank quite a few rum’n cokes.
There is a casino called Binions. In this casino there is a wall with pictures of all the winners of the world series of poker main event.
