Booze + Live Poker + Phil Laak + Moo = Profit and Ice Cream?

image0013

Where to start, where to start? Tonight was our dedicated drinking night. We started by going over to the Wynn and putting our names on the waiting list, who knew what was to ensue? We were number 14 and 15, so we went and had dinner. Once again, we were taken to the back of the restaurant and sat on our own. I swear there is some racism going on. Every time we go out [...]

We have just arrived at our hotel in Macau after a midnight flight out of Melbourne followed by an adventure finding our way from Hong Kong airport to Macau. It is currently 10am local time, so it took about 13 hours to get here. We can’t check-in yet so we are just hanging around in the lobby, which disappointingly doesn’t seem to have wireless. The hotel/casino is very classy though, giant chandeliers and marble all [...]
