I spent the weekend at Planet Hollywood (again) so I could drink and see some old pals.  In between good times and table gaming I got some quality video poker in.  I’ve shared some of what happened on my posterous over the weekend, but wanted to document on ECG.  I use posterous to document my [...]

Gambling on the Strip

by Marc December 29, 2010

I’m just off of a long weekend on the strip in Las Vegas.  We stayed at Planet Hollywood and the hotel, itself, was more of the same.  I love the hotel, but everything inside the room leaves something to be desired.  You can see the highs and lows on Vegas Chatter. I gamble differently when [...]

by Marc December 23, 2010

I was waiting for my friends in the valet area at Planet Hollywood when I saw Angel Porrino walking into the hotel with her son.  She was dressed down as it was 9:30am, but she was much prettier than I remember in Holly’s World.  I guess I can look forward to the new season of [...]

Catching Up with the Strip

by Marc December 21, 2010

One thing I’ve noticed since I’ve moved to Las Vegas is that my raging on the strip is kept to a minimum and it makes sense.  The strip is there every day and while I pop in almost daily I haven’t had much to drink or gambled much.  That changed last weekend when my friends [...]

by Marc December 16, 2010

Strangely enough, I’ll be on vacation in the city I live. Every year around this time I travel to Las Vegas with my friends.  This year is no different.  Last year I had my first stay at Palazzo, but this year we’re staying at an old friend – Planet Hollywood.  I’ll make my way over [...]
