Day 1: Shake Your Moneymaker

Aside from buying large amounts of alcohol in a Bahimian slum, Nick jumping in the shark pool, shaking moneymaker's baby at the welcome cocktail party, and Danny asking Negreanu down the hall what he was doing up so late at 4:30 when it was actually midnight, it was a pretty normal day 1.

Atlantis is the absolutely ridiculous. This tomb spans everywhere and there is a huge aquarium that spans around and in most of the towers. We got in about 2:00 but after messing around in the cab for 3 hours we finally got to the hotel and checked in. The rooms are very cool, with walk out patios to this lazy river type water thing. Beach is a 2 minute walk from the room.

A drunk walk to the poker room managed to happen at what seemed like 3 am but was 9:00. Jammed with sit-n-gos and satellites, but no cash games. Strolling back to the room because the lists were so long, we caught up with Negraneu walking down our hallway with his luggage. Danny told him that he loves his blog of fulltilt poker and reads it all the time.

The Coral Tower is nice. The pool area near the room is basically a mini water park with a lot of beach chairs an expensive bar and gold diggers. Other than literally everything is pricy (internet, alcohol, food, water) its amazing. The sulfur smell from the well water from the toilet last night was the only drawback.

Oh yea, Nick decided to get blackout drunk and shake moneymaker's baby at the cocktail party forcibly hard. High five.

Flight day 1 is today, so after the beach I'll head over and see how Young Gun Gary's doing and see who else is around.

p.s. Monster where are you?
