How to live in Las Vegas for more than a weekend
Friday, July 10, 2009 - APmedia
I get asked quite a few questions by friends and acquaintances about poker and things related to poker, but I’d like to talk about something that is not often asked, and that’s how to keep your mind/body fresh when you stay in Vegas.
If you find yourself in Vegas for more than a weekend (the time I think you can have enough fun in Vegas without going crazy) you may feel yourself getting worn out. I live here now, but even now that I live here I get bored frequently and have to find ways to keep myself motivated when I’m out here for long periods of time, which happens during the WSOP.
Vegas is a crazy town, there’s always something to do, and that’s part of the problem. When you are out in Vegas for Poker, it’s great to stay away from the temptations of Vegas and find a place just to relax and unwind. So find something you enjoy doing to take your mind off Poker or gambling. It could be going to a show, relaxing by the pool, or who knows, maybe clubbing baby seals is your thing: If it is, stop reading this and get off the blog!
For me personally, I love the ocean, so I frequently leave for the day to go to Malibu, CA, where I sit on the beach and just listen to the waves. If I can’t leave Vegas, I usually opt to go to the gym and get a good night’s rest.
So next time you feel yourself getting worn out in Vegas, just take a step back and relax. Find what makes you happy and go ahead and do that if you are losing and come back fresh tomorrow. Because ultimately, tomorrow is another day.
