Yeah, i'm the short guy, 'obviously.'
On my side, in order from front to back , is The Judge, Kneifl, Kneifl's friend Alex, Ms. Dees friend Barbara and Ms. Dee.
On the other side from Jack on backwards is Senor Capper, Ctownguy, AR 182(I guess the one Agent was asking about), AR's wife Sussane and Gerri (Fletchers wife).
Jack and I are heading back out shortly. Have a great night.
Sh*t Kosar you look nothing like I thought. No one ever does though. I knew Kneifl was gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) :mj07: His "friend" :142smilie
Hope everyone gets back safe....
Did anyone see Fletcher? :shrug:

I can't help it, that's just funny... glad to hear you had a great time. hope you made it back safely...
I certainly enjoyed meeting kneifl--in addition he took effort to share several pics of event--so give him him a break 
i got back a few hours ago....& i'm dead tired. not used to having 6 or so drinks at a sitting anymore...but with a little practice i think that i can get back into "fighting shape".
i don't know if anybody is interested in my trip but here goes....
we arrived friday at the mgm at about 11:30am & they let us have an early check-in. we had a great room with a great view of the strip but had a few problems with the room. the a/c wasn't working too well & in a place where the temp. averages around 105, a/c is a must. the safe in the room & one night table lamp wasn't working either. called guest services & was assured that the problems would be taken care of & was told that we didn't have to wait around to have problems fixed.
we headed out around 12:30 pm to meet everybody for lunch. normally we would have walked to the aladdin, but since it was so hot we took a cab. the cabdriver copped an attitude when we told him where we were going.i knew he didn't like the short fare, but i asked him anyway a few times if there was a problem but he didn't answer me. the fare was $4.85 & i threw $6 towards the front seat & told him his attitude cost him a bigger tip...it continues to amaze me how people in the service industry don't know how to deal with the public....but that's their problem.
we arrived at max's about 12:50 pm & thought that we were the first. but ms. dee came over & introduced herself to us.a very nice & friendly woman. my wife (suzanne) & i learned that max's was having a some sought of special....3 drinks for the price of one...but we also learned that the bartenders don't know how to add. so i had the first of 5 cap't. morgan's & coke & my wife had the first of 4 martini's....for the price of one.
a few minutes later kneifl & his friend alex arrived & introduced us to ctownguy who was sitting there for about the same amount of time that we were there. ctown was one of the people that i never met & was looking forward to meeting. all i can say about ct is that he is truly a great guy..very friendly, with a good sense of humor, & was very nice to drive suzanne & i to different hotels a few times. this guy knows vegas inside & out.
a little later the others started arriving & i finally had a chance to meet dtb & his lovely wife, li, who is very friendly & out going. dtb was another poster that i was looking forward in meeting & was disappointed that i didn't get a chance to talk more with him since he was leaving the next day & we weren't seated near each other. hopefully i will get another chance of meeting up with dtb.i also met up with kosar, who is one of my favorite people at this forum...this guy always has a smile on his face & seems to enjoy himself where ever he is.
the lunch at max's was very lively & friendly...it's amazing what liquor does (lol). i don't know if the waiter was trying to add to the tab, but after my 5 cap't. mprgans, he brought me a pina colada & a tom collins...& showing no shame i drank those also.
after lunch me, the wife, ct, & terryray headed up to jack & kosar's suite where we had a few more drinks (don't remember what they were). we had a great time there also talking about the people on the site & other gambling sites. after a few hours (it was about 6pm), ctown drove us back to our room where we found out nothing was fixed, which pissed me off. after a few drinks who wants to hassle with hotel employees. but i called the front desk anyway & within a 1/2 hour maintenance came up to fix the a/c, safe, & lamp...or so i thought. he told us that all the a/c needed was a new filter, but housekeeping handled that. he also said that security handles the room safes & that he would come back & fix the lamp.he also told us that we didn't need to be in the room to have everything fixed. at about 9pm we headed down to the casino & came back to the room about 1 am & found out again that nothing was repaired. so i called down to the front desk & the clerk told me by checking the computer he saw that the maintenance man did not refer the a/c to housekeeping, or security for the safe, & even forgot to come back to fix the lamp.a half hour after yelling at the desk clerk about how poor their service is, housekeeping & security did their thing.at this point i didn't care anymore about the lamp so i dropped the issue with that.
the next day me & the wife hung around the pool & i continued drinking tom collins'(3) until we were ready to go to dinner at the tillerman restaurant. there i decided that i would only stick to one drink & had 3 cap't.morgans & coke.
before dinner, at the bar area i heard about kneifl's clothes being soaked by the overflowing of the toilet bowl. when kneifl arrived & told us what happened, i got to admit i was impressed with his positive attitude. most people would have been pissed but he turned a negative situation into a positive situation & kept his cool. but looking at it now, i'm not surprised by kneifl's attitude.in the few times that i have met him he always seemed to have a smile on his face & always seemed positive.
at dinner i got to talk more to kneifl's friend, alex....also very friendly & spoke to senor capper, who has been one of my favorite posters here & didn't see him at the last super bowl party.
i also got to talk more to terryray, who seems to know about everything & to the judge, who seems to know his college sports & nba. 2 quality guys....another person i got to speak to was fletcher's wife, who i found to be very warm & friendly.
as far as the tillerman goes...jack couldn't have picked a better place. we had a private room & the food & service was top notch.a big thank you goes out to scotty & bet jamaica for their huge generosity & again proving that there are some books that have class.
sunday my wife & i layed around the pool area for most of the day & at night we headed over to the mirage. we had dinner at a restaurant called kokomos, where i ate a great veal chop & my wife had sea bass. after dinner we went to see "love" produced by cirque de solel...where the performers danced & did acrobatics to the beatles music. living most of my life in nyc, i saw some great theater & have been to 4 other cirque shows, but i have to say that this performance was by far the best show that i have ever seen. i usually get bored very easily & can't wait for shows to end, but not this show...i hoped it never ended. it's been 40 years since the beatles retired, this show reminded me that the beatles was & is the greatest rock band of all time.
i usually go to vegas twice a year & i have to say that this was probably my most favorite trip there.
a big thank you goes out to jack for making most of this possible.in my book jack is a quality person.
and also a big thanks goes to everybody there who made my wife & i feel at ease....& thanks to all of those who laughed at my sick humor.

Sounds like some folks missed out on a great trip (minus the 100 temps of course)
Hope we can arrange some sort of a SB get together once again. Vegas, AC, Bahamas... count me in.

IX,
talking to jack this afternoon at an airport while he was waiting for his next flight, the plans and details are already in the works for a great super bowl party in the future...
