Tuesday cont'd

Cruised over to the ORLEANS for the
French Market Buffet. Pretty long line up
for the 11am Lunch buffet, but it moved
quickly. 241 ACG coupon. $10.65 total
for me and G to eat. Lots of creole food,
crawfish, jumbolaya, asian, and italian.
The seafood fluorentine and the onion rings
stand out as memorable tasty selections.
Similar food to Gold Coast. The buffet was busy,
crowded and a bit of a clusterfuck.
Fast drink service. Clean bathrooms.

Orleans Poker Room was really hoppin'

for mid-week and middle of the day.
More spacious and modern than I expected.
They had 2/4 L, 4/8L, 8/16L, 1/2NL, 2/5NL Holdem
and 4/8 Omaha HiLo games all going on.
Pretty impressive for 1pm. They even started
an $8/16 Omaha game later in the afternoon.
4 ahead of me on the $1/2 ($300max?)

list so I had to wait about 45 minutes

for a seat. Overall, pretty organized with

computerized list, although its hard to hear

your name called unless you are inside

the poker room, and they only have 1 screen

showing the lists and its inside the poker room

at the sign up desk, so you cant go too far

if you get near the top, or you'll lose your seat.

Played well, but ended the session -$70
(about 4 hours). Could have been a huge session,

but lost a $900+ pot to runner-runner suckout.

The poker room and buffet are both located

right beside entrance doors, which is great

after you've been there once, you can

park right there and avoid a long
walk from the other end of the casino.

Drove over to the VENETIAN around 6:30pm.
Very nice hotel. Expansive and beautiful
poker room. Great table side drink and
food service. Short wait. Very hard to hear
your name called even if standing right at
the poker room entrance. They said
"Will for 1-2, Last call Will".

I guess your first call is also your last call ?.

If you're not there within 10 seconds

of the start of them calling your name,

they wipe you off the list and call the

next name. I recommend you talk to
the brush when you sign up and tell him that
you'll be sitting in the lounge that's inside the
poker room, and make sure they dont take you
off the list because you'll be IN the poker room.
Wasnt much action at my table.
Finished the session up +$65.
