I'm an Idiot

Jessica and I drove to Vegas a couple of weekends ago to turn in my paperwork for dealing at the WSOP.  We spent Saturday in San Francisco before dropping the dog off at my parents' in Lincoln that night.  Then we drove to Vegas on Sunday and back on Monday.  That's a LOT of driving!  So I was pretty exhausted all last week.

Anyway, we arrived in Vegas at the Luxor hotel around 4:00 on Sunday afternoon.  I really liked the hotel, except that we were on the 21st floor and I'm scared of heights!  The side of the hallway facing the center of the hotel is open with only a mid-torso high railing to keep you from falling to oblivion.  Not so good with the vertigo!  Needless to say, I hugged the opposite wall as we walked to our room.  We decided to walk the strip afterwards and just check out all the hotels and casinos.

Though we had fun looking at everything, nothing really stood out to me as awesome.  Except dinner.  Dinner was awesome!  We went to Ocean One in Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops.  We had the fried calamari appetizer and I got the cioppino, both of which were outstanding.  Afterwards, we walked all the way down to Treasure Island before walking back to the Luxor.  It was a ton of walking and we were both exhausted when we got back to our room.

The next day, we went to the HR department at the Rio only to discover that I had forgotten to bring my social security card!  Without that, they wouldn't let me do any of the necessary paperwork.  So that sucked!

After returning home on Monday, I tore the house apart looking for my social security card, but I couldn't find it anywhere.  I was freaking out, thinking that I had screwed up my chance to deal at the WSOP!  However, I applied for a replacement card, which fortunately has already arrived!  So since the WSOP has delayed the last day of registration to May 24th (a Tuesday), I will be driving out to Vegas on Monday the 23rd for the WSOP and taking care of my paperwork on the 24th.  Whew!
