Okay, the news conference started about two hours late (although there was some pretty good free food) and went two hours too long because Don King is full of shit.

Otherwise, I checked it to my hotel about 3 p.m. PDT. Lost about $40 on blackjack, $20 on dollar slots, won $30 on blackjack slots (I'll explain later) and went to take a nap at about 4:20 PDT. 12 hours later I woke up.

Yes, 30 hours without sleep drains someone so at 4 a.m., I'm up and about. I like Vegas at 4 a.m., it's a little quieter. I walked across the street to MGM Grand and won about $500 on craps in 30 minutes. The crowd (yes there was a huge crowd at 4 a.m.) went crazy as I was shooting lights out. I told them they didn't want to fuck with a New Yorker on some dice. It was the World Series of clacky-clack all over again.

Nonetheless, I'm going to try to catch Sportscenter and have some breakfast. I've got a long day ahead of me.
