Bay Area Houston

Well that sucked only because I am a Canelo fan and he lost in a 12 decision.

The Fight
If you want to watch a fight watch it at home. If you want to experience a fight see it live. Unless you are within 100 feet of the ring you will probably be focusing on the big screens which have a crystal clear picture. That’s what I did as did most in my area. I had a front row seat on the 3rd level. It was great view.

Besides the fight being uneventful (I’ve been to better fights) the event itself was fun. I was disappointed in the fight as well as the lack of playing the National Anthems. The stadium was full of Mexican Nationals and if you have ever heard them sing their anthem you know they sing with pride and LOUD! I was looking forward to it but no anthems were played. That was strange.

Vegas
If you want an inexpensive, fun, vacation go to Cancun. Vegas is expensive. Period. $10 beer (12 oz). $20 burgers (no fries). A traditional eggs, bacon, hash browns and coffee will run you $36 which includes a $5 tip. Gambling is way out of my league. I like playing Craps but $25 minimum bet table means I would be betting about $100 for every roll of the dice. I did find a $10 minimum bet table but the thrill was gone and I passed. I joined others at the sports book and watched football prior to the fight. That was fun.

Tonight I am going to see another mind reading show, Ghost Stories, at the Mandalay Bay Casino. I’ve seen David Copperfield and The Mentalist. Both were excellent.
