The problem with 5star hotels

News - the Venetian has electric curtains ! As I went to tweak them open to see what is out there in the world of Vegas, they whirred into life and did their own thing.

I have just woken up with the prospect of the $1500 NLH event #49 lying ahead in a couple of hours. I avoided the usual Vegas problme of waking up at 2am on the first morning, by not going to bed until 2am - that's experience talking.

I soon realised one of the major problems with high-end hotels the world over - no kettle in the room. Being America, of course there is no kettle. They haven't invented the kettle yet. But no coffee making of any kind - that is brutal. It all means I will be going to grab some breakfast asap - Barry recommends the Canyon Cafe and assures me they have non-healthy stuff as well. Here's hoping.

Will post later how I get on in the $1500 - much later hopefully !

well known problem - take your own coffee kit, or buy it locally!
