    I just got this text from my brother:

    “Chauncey, Tyrone Lue, Willie Green, Tayshaun prince playing craps ”

    If you’re in Vegas, where is there, and why do you care where someone is if they’re not in Vegas?

    Is Tayshaun still freakishly thin? I can't imagine him getting a middle-aged gut - it would be like a knotted string.

    Sidetrack: there was a guy I used to play pickup with that everyone called "Tayshaun" (his real name was actually James Brown, so "The Godfather" was right there). It confused the hell out of me at first because he was a little round guy, but I guess he had an incredibly pale complexion and that was the relevant comparison in his buddies' minds.

    Came back yesterday. It was crazy busy there this week. Lots of faces. Big crowds around obviously famous people. Too many to count.

    They were at the Strat.
    Bellagio was where a number of players were staying as well.

    I enjoyed the tower, and walking around the complex. But the walls are paper thin. It is what it is. On a budget, it ain't bad. Probably a good place to go to keep out of the limelight.

    It seems to have some really good press and security.
    I don’t go there much and I can’t really afford to stay there.
    Just not the place for me.

    ???
    Everything about that place seems expensive to me?
    I usually stay at the Mirage. I get pretty good rates there.
    We just stayed at the MGM Grand because we got a package. Not sure I can afford that without one.

    I heard that also. Never had the chance to check it out yet.
    Wynn is really popular.

    The strat is big dookie. Location is terrible. So many hotels that are way better. Strat is honestly at the very bottom for me in terms of places to stay. I'd rather stay at the Luxor than the Strat.

    I love Top of the World at the Strat. I’m celebrating my birthday there next month.

    Is the Luxor good? I’ve been there for Blue Man.
    I love that show. I like the location. It’s also got the trams.
