My friend compared Las Vegas with a Disneyland for adults and he couldn’t have been more right I arrived late on the 23rd super jetlagged. I never get a jetlag when going over the Atlantic this way unless I don’t sleep at the airplane and this time it was impossible. Not for the guy I came here with since he slept all the way but I didn’t get many hours since we had two big groups of guys in their 30′s who probably had left their families and kids back home to have an insane week in Las Vegas with the boys. The party started already by takeoff and they didn’t stop ONCE during the eleven hour long flight. Sadly they also were spread out everywhere and three of them sat right next to me…

I’ve been waking up really early but it seems like it’s getting better each day. Yesterday I woke up 5:30am and today 7:30am. I really hope I will be able to sleep to nine tomorrow. I wish I could go down to the pool with the rest of the Swedes today but I was to incautious with the SPF yesterday and burned myself badly. It’s ok now but a day without the sun seems like a good idea. Since M who I travelled here with is gonna play the $1500 WSOP-event today I don’t know what to do. I might head down to the poker room at the Venetian to play some later. We’re staying at the Palazzo and it’s just as nice as last year. The plan was to check in at the Rio by the 3rd but I think we’re gonna stay here as long as M is still around so might not move in there until the 8th.

After some shopping and dinner yesterday we went to Rio to buy in the boys into the tournament today. The tournament areas at the Rio are INSANELY big. Not kidding. It almost gave me goose pimples just imaging those areas full of players for the main event. It’s gonna be heavy days reporting thats for sure.

We are to close to the ice cream-bar here at the Palazzo for my own good
