Married Life
Published on 2008-03-28 11:57:00
Ok so i havent posted for a little while but I do have a good excuse. Nancy and I got married on Wed 26th March at The Little Chapel of the West. Some might say it was about time we got married but I guess we got there in the end. I hadnt mentioned anything about us getting married before on the blog as she sometimes reads the blog and the wedding was a suprise. She knew we were getting married im not that brave. We had been engaged for 2 years and with us both moving out to Vegas the sooner we

Well today the forecast is to hit the 80s for the first time since we have been here. I have been hearing about all the storms back home and I must say I havent missed it one little bit. Im not a fan of the cold and rain and I must say the weather we have had so far has been near perfect for me. Im not sure how comfortable ill be when the weather hits 120 but for now all is good.We sleep with the blinds open in the bedroom and its so good waking up every morning to natural sunlight. Im up at 8am
Another Week on

So another week down and another hire car returned to Avis at the airport. We will be leasing a car soon but just have to wait another couple weeks as we don't have a credit rating yet. I have been driving more and more but it still seems really strange driving on the wrong side of the road. I have to concentrate really hard when i arrive at a junction not not turn onto oncoming traffic.The poker this week has been tough and I have suffered a few loses 1/2 due to getting my big pairs cracked and

Some pictures for you of the view from the top of our road. The Red Rock Nature Reserve is less than a mile from our house and the scenery is amazing. Its not like driving around Romford in Feb or March.
Wynn Poker Classic
Published on 2008-03-04 01:22:00
So we all move on to the next casino. For the last 3 weeks the Venetian had been by far the busiest cardroom on the strip, but now the room is quiet and the action is a lot slower. The bandwagon has moved onto the equally beautiful and grand Wynn. The poker room at the Wynn is quite small considering how popular is room is. Im not sure how many tables they have so ill have to count next time im in.So on Thursday i decided to go along to the Wynn and see what the action was like. I have never bee

Well thats the end of the 2nd week of this adventure. The cards havent been so kind to me this week as last but im still having a great time. The Venetian festival has now finished and that room has turned back to normal. I have no idea where all the dealers go. Last week there were 60 full tables for 15+ hrs a day. I went in there this week and there were about 10-15 tables in use. I know some must of being doing overtime during the festival but who knows what the rest are doing now. There were
Settling in
Published on 2008-02-20 11:10:00
We have been here a week now and its amazing how quickly we have settled. In a lot of ways it doesnt even feel like its Vegas. I went to the strip on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but apart from that and going to the airport it doesnt feel like Vegas at all. The weather apart from the day we landed has been glourious. I watched sky sports news last night and games were being postponed due to frozen pitches. Its supposed to be 50/50 to rain here today but who cares its warm with it.We have done ple
And So It Begins

Well this is prob the craziest week of my life. It has been full of stress. Things going wrong all over the show and even though you have paid a lot of money for people to do a job for you or to receive a service things still dont work out quite as planned.So Monday had arrived and at this point i thought i had covered all bases. The removals men arrived at 8am and set to work on the house. Due to insure we werent allowed to pack ourselves and they had to do it all themselves. Its a very strange
Clock is Ticking

Life at the moment feels like a cross between Christmas Eve and your final school exam. Time is fast running out and there is still so much to do before we move but we are getting closer. This week has been the most expensive of my life. After paying the international removals, estate agents, housing lawyer, solicitor for pub sale, ticket to send cat to America, Flights to America and deposit on the rental house. Obviously next week will mean money coming in from the house and business sales wil
Recon Mission part 5

So in just 10 days I think i had managed to achieve all that I had set out to do. We had found a house and signed a lease all ready to move in when we turn up in the mid of Feb. Bank accs all ready amazes me how vital it is to have the bank acc so many things can become out of having an account. To show Nancy more of Vegas and to make her feel more comfortable about the move. Although 100% with me as you would expect she had huge worries about moving to America. In opening her eyes to the live t
