3. A buddy of mine was fortunate enough to be able to attend the grand opening and said he had a great time and highly recommended it...so I did. Had to go out to Vegas on a business trip last week and stopped in at the Hard Rock Poker Lounge, the place is great and I recommend it to anyone.

4. This poker tournament sure sounds like a big deal and I bet really is. I did some heavy poker training by gambling online, I wonder what are the odd for me to become a memeber in such a great competition...
