The recital

It was a cellist performing an exquisite recital, he moved effortlessly through the crowd, hobnobbing with the elite of Las Vegas. "The time is now Jethro. The opportunity we are encountering is what dreams are made of...win,win,win."

The sports group I work for had a number of high rollers in from Colorado for the UFC event (our group was on Meisha Tate at +290, she won on a tap out...the party went crazy).

While watching him further orchestrate the crowd I notice an unopened bottle of silver Patron sitting at the serve yourself bar. Do you know how long it has been since I have tasted Patron on my lips? A long time. While filling the glass for the third time a young lady with painted on jeans approaches the bar. "May I pour you a cocktail?" I say with a half drunk smile - "How about some of the Patron I have been watching you drink," is her response.

"Are you part of the sports crew," she asks in a flirtatious manner - "Yes and a friend of Mikes. How about you?" She responds - "I am a good friend of Mikes as well. We went to high school at Gorman together." I can't help but add - "So your gorgeous, rich and famous. Like the rest of the Gorman alum."

The next two hours were spent talking with her on the back porch overlooking the Las Vegas strip. A full bottle of Patron later...she gives me a ride home.

  1. Hope this place turns out good. It’s great that this venue offers services such as catering, lighting, tables and chairs, table linen and parking. I am here to choose venues in Chicago for my event, glad to know that they do not put any restrictions regarding music played.
