@barrygreenstein: I don't think twitter can help with this but you never know: my Aston Martin DB9 was stolen fromvalet parking!
The car was stolen from the Mission Hills Marriott in San Diego. Greenstein went on to tweet that he was in town for the mixed game at the Palomar Card Club.
@barrygreenstein: The guy who took the car saw it in the valet parking lot and told the valet guy the plate and asked for the car.
@barrygreenstein : the valet guy knew he had screwed up and lied about the ID and Greenstein story. He's terminated.
The alleged thief attempted to return and park the car in the self-park garage at the hotel, so security called police. The perp told police that Greenstein had asked him to detail the vehicle. According to the thief's mother, he has mental issues and legitimately believed the car was his. Perp taken to hospital (nuts)
@barrygreenstein: The guy detailed the car, inside also. I feel bad for him. Normal person would have dropped it off somewhere
RT @WillFalkiner: @barrygreenstein He didnt "detail" your car, he was removing fingerprints :)

Possible Revamp of Imperial Palace
This could be the end of dirt cheap centre strip rooms.
Vegas Inc. is reporting that government officials have signed off on Caesars Entertainment's plan to finally transform this run-down stretch of Strip.
What's being called the "Linq" project will give Imperial Palace and O'Sheas new facades and create 326,000 sq.ft of retail, dining and entertainment venues between Imperial Palace and the Flamingo including a giant ferris wheel.
check out www.VegasInc.com to check out more renderings of what the $500 million dollar project might look like once complete.

Huck Seed hits $670k video poker score
the news first got out thru Hucks twitter.
@Huck Seed Internet poker is down in the US, but I'm still pressing buttons! http://lockerz.com/s/126049089
He won $670,665 when he hit a Royal Flush at Aria, playing $500 per hand.
As you can see in the above pic, Huck held the King and Jack of spades and hit the Ace, Queen and Ten of spades to complete the Royal.
According to posts on 2=2, Seed noticed the massive size of the progressive jackpot and then read some books on video poker to figure out his edge and the correct way to play. He calculated that there was a 0.65% edge for the player due to the size of the jackpot and he felt that he could make about $3 per hand, not including comps. Seed played for nearly six hours, playing around 500 hands per hour, before the hitting the royal flush. He said on Twitter that he was in for $50,000 when it hit.
Seed had reportedly teamed up with investors in the past to take shots at video jackpot, but had very little success. No word on backers this time so it appears this win is solely his.

Dont drink the water

Another Do Not Do in Vegas: Do Not Buy Water Bottles Off The Street
Folks, no matter how thirsty you are during your trip to Vegas or how stubborn you are to pay $7 for bottled water from the minibar--do not, we repeat, do not buy bottled water from someone standing out on the Strip.
You know the people we are talking about. They cart little coolers behind them with handwritten signs saying, "Bottled Water, $1.25" (or less.) The more aggressive ones wave the bottles in your face as you walk by. Yes, these cold water bottles look mighty tempting when the desert heat and your killer hangover have sweating like a whore in church while at the same time practically choking back cottonmouth. But don't do it.
In an update to those pesky street performers, local news KTNV reports some gagging discoveries about these water bottle peddlers.
"I've had people complain about the water bottles. They are not sealed and even filled in the restroom," said County Commissioner Steve Sisolak. If spotted by police, people peddling water bottles will usually get cited. But then they will just move to a different location.
Excuse us while we just vomit in a bucket right now. That means while your friend (or child) is getting felt up by Pokemon, you could be sipping on some bathroom tap. Ugh. Just don't do it. Instead find a Walgreens or CVS as there water will be much more reasonably priced than inside the hotel.
On the bright side, KTNV also reports that there could be some crackdowns happening with the annoying card snappers and street performers. All of these annoyance and there possible solutions are being discussed at a county commission meeting today as well as how to make the Strip safer.

No Vegas Trip Report
Breaking tradition and not documenting my trip.
Safe to say I had a great time and brought back some money from poker. Stayed and played at some new casinos, ate at some new places. 8 days is not enough. Next trip will be 2 weeks.

Full Tilt Shut Down Completely
As of today, Full Tilt Poker had their licences suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) and the site is offline.
Looks like Howard, Jesus et al...have gotten away with theft on a massive scale.
Good-bye bankroll.

Sahara Las Vegas Closing :(
I enjoyed my times there, but the Sahara
will close its doors on May 16 after
59 years of service.
No more 6lb burrito's or $1 blackjack.
I guess if you want to experience
a little of old time vegas now,
you'll have to stay at the Riviera.
(one of the most comfy beds ever!)
