I play in local casinos in Toronto and Niagara Falls...they are more fun than online for me, but Las Vegas gets my heart pounding...first, you know that you are going to face some tough competition...yes, there are plenty of donkeys who come to Vegas thinking they are hot stuff, only to get their ass handed to them by the many local pros...the class and ambience of the nicer poker rooms set Vegas above almost anywhere else in the world. When I get knocked out, I can always find a 5 star restaurant to ease my pain with a delightful dinner. And you have the chance of meeting and watching some of the top poker pros in the world play.
