(LAS VEGAS) - It's pretty sweet when you get out of bed at 5:00 p.m. PDT. You know you had a good creepfest the night before.

It's also pretty sweet when you feel like death at 6:30.

Very mature.

Nonetheless, we had an amusing evening celebrating the WSOP cash. Dinner at Nobu over at the Hard Rock. Booze at the Circle Bar. And, a fine evening at the Spearamint Rhino.

The Main Event starts Friday, and that's the day I'll be playing in it. We'll have updates and pics galore.

Tomorrow, some of the clowns come out for the insideSTL.com Las Vegas Trip.

Sources indicate we'll be at the pool at the Wynn or Encore and then dinner at Carnevino...followed by booze at Tryst. I'm sure we'll have some pictures from that...plus some stories to tell throughout the weekend.

In the meantime, I'm going to try and soak up some of this booze with a feast...and more booze.

As I said...very mature.
