Well we're back from the Las Vegas trip and although my wife didn't win the Million she did very well winning over $50,000 on the game show. Yes, that's a nice chunk of cash and I should have some images to share once we receive the check. She doesn't get the money until the taxman takes they're share which will be in excess of $10,000. What a rip off they are, but the trip was free and so is the cash.
I played some poker and lost about $300 and was up and down on the slots between $00 to $1000, but actually breaking even from my calculations.
So I hope everyone has been doing well on the felts and actually glad to be back home to relax. That Vegas will keep you up all night and chasing the days.
There's a pic of my wife on the game show and one of New York, New York Casino.
to be honest i dont think i could take it if i took my girlfriend to vegas and she won money but i didnt, sure she would never stop rubbing it in so long as it was an enjoyable time thats the main thing

I have a solution for that: If at the end of the LV trip your girlfriend has won more than you, then on the last night spike her drink so she's highly inebriated and push her into continually making huge bets on roulette until she eventually loses the house. Then berate her the next day for having a massive gambling problem and lecture her on the importance of responsible gambling, casually mentioning how wise you were for stopping after you were down only a couple grand.

Sorry I haven't been on much to reply, but thank you all for the kind words. I don't think I'll be able to play, but I'm going to see what it takes to setup some type of freeroll for the Mobsters once we receive the check from these crooks.
I know! I shouldn't be ungrateful and I'm not. I thank the lord for blessing us with the extra cash, but I don't know why the government deserves a dime of it. They take $300+ from me every week from my pay check, then someone wins some cash and they have to get their hands on it.
Anyway thank you all and if anyone knows how to setup a game like we used to when BMWman would set them up on Fulltilt please advise! I can't give away thousands, but a few hundred is acceptable to offer some cash to the top 5 or 10 finishers. Just reply with some feedback as to how I could implement!

That is very kind of you. If you really want to do that, I believe Pochui is the man to talk to..

i haven't been around at that time- so any additional info would be a big help: do you want to have a tourney on full tilt exclusively or will pokerstars do just as well? what kind of tourneys they were: structure, game type, starting stack, blind levels etc. if you provide the answers i will take a look in it...always nice to play the mobsters
(not that I've ever won anything significant)
?
And $50.000 is still a lot of money! 
on the felts i bet you still had a great time and have made some great memories
