All,

Shares Magazine journalist Geoff Ho is off to the bright lights of Las Vegas next week to chance his arm on the card tables out there.

Geoff is an avid poker player and plays in regular tournaments, and now the action in Vegas is beckoning for him.

MoneyAM Poker Room has sponsored him to see how well he can do, and Geoff will be posting regularly on this thread to keep you all informed of the highs and the lows of Las Vegas life.

Will Geoff make his fortune and be sunning himself in the tropics after his week in the US? Or will he return down at heel?

Will he sink? Or will he swim?

Find out with Geoffs diary on this thread starting next week.

Viva Las Vegas!!

How long will he be out there for?

Gausie,

He leaves tomorrow and will be back on 4th April

I'm going out at the end of the month, much fun will be had.

Scrip - I'm there last week in April - I always think its a bit chilly in March.

I meant to say end of April, I am in the US for a few weeks and will be drifting past Vegas as my dad is out there around that time doing the Grand Canyon bit. I am coming back second week of May.

I'm going to Brighton Pier next week. Wish me luck.

Careful Kayak - I always think Brighton is a bit chilly in March.

Rhyll tends to be Bracing as well

Skegness for me early April. Bracing even on a summers day.

Skegness Butlins Tonight. For Me.

Clacton Pier next wednesday,sea fishing for me.

lol

Does he need a caddy to stash the cash & wipe his brow :)

Wimps. Thurso in mid summer is usually baltic!

You lot will go anywhere.
Being a Yorkshireman, still living in Yorkshire, I have no need to travel. I reside in Gods own county, that no other place on Earth can ever be as beautiful as.
The desolation of the moors, the history of York, the cosmopolitan Leeds, the beauty of Whitby and the tranquility of the Dales on my doorstep.
I suggest a winter mornings ramble on Otley Chevin or a lazy summers day in Richmond. Granted, both are bloody freezing, but why go anywhere else?
Okay I admit it, I'm going to Mexico in June, but only to remind me how luck I am to be out on the Pennines in winter.
Alan

HA - I agree.

How can the grand canyon even begin to compare to the majesty and grandeur of the cow and calf on Ilkley moor?

And the beers better

the weather aint

Beer? That ain't beer! ;-))

Yorkshire - a fine place to pass through was always my thinking. ;-)))

If it were the worst beer in England (and its not) it would still be better than that weak Yank crap.
