Hey! Im going to vegas in august. My dad goes every year, but I havnt been old enough to go since I've been playing poker, so I have missed out, however now Im 21 let the fun commence.

I fancy myself as more of a tournie player too, but I reckon I'll tuck into a bit of cash while i'm there coz as you said, its vegas!

My dad had a funny annecdote which your post reminded me of when you said about the dealer knowing 2 peoples names:

My dad was playing for a good few hours one time, at one point the dealer changed (I assume they change every hour or so). Anyway, this particularly dealer turned up and sat next to him to play 15 minutes later! Theres no gaming restrictions for dealers in the US. Thought that was funny!!
