Ed, no matter who you get to publish the new book, do try to get Gonso to do the next cover. I dug the first one and it was a 1000% improvement over 2p2′s usual covers.

Hi James,
http://vegasveg.blogspot.com lists some veg*n restaurants, veg-friendly markets, etc.

Another option is to get a room with a kitchenette and prepare some of your own foods.

Or couch surf with vegans (http://www.couchsurfing.com/). Supposedly, there is a vegan subgroup on couch surfing.

Good grief, Ed Miller plays $2-5 in Vegas … that makes me want to completely rethink my entire Vegas strategy. I have a few friends that are regs at 1/3 and 2/5 out there and I sit in and generally play nitty and make a decent share. Didn’t think the millionaire internet pros sat at the same table!

Ed (and Elaine),

As a NYC vegan, who travels to Vegas quite frequently for poker, do you have any advice for places to eat? I, of course, know about Ronald’s, and have been to the veggie place down the block from there as well as one other vegetarian Chinese place east of the strip. Are there any hidden gems in Vegas, or am I stuck renting a car and going to whole foods every day?

I don’t know how you can move from a vegan mecca like NYC to vegas!!!

Thanks!

Hi Ed, just wondering if you have ever checked out the electronic tables at the Excalibur? I’m really excited about their potential to revitalize live play (more hands, less rake, potential 6-max live) and just expand poker in general. If casinos can make more money from poker, it’ll help stop the relentless expansion of slots over tables.

Ed,

could you please comment on the situation regarding payment for content on this site, now that your business relation to Mason seems to have ended.

Thanks,
Greyzy

“our approach has been to write up lots of interesting and instructive hands first (with an outline for the organization of the book in mind) and then glue it into a cohesive whole.”

This sounds like the best way to write a poker book.

threads,
It’s definitely a good time to buy a home in Vegas. Just get something you like and can live with for years to come.

vb,
We moved to NYC because we needed a change. Turns out we missed home. So we came back to Vegas.

Rob,
Search YouTube. There are a few vegan donut videos. Here’s one:

The Venetian really has a beautiful poker room. Out of the times I have been out to Vegas I have really enjoyed playing there. It’s been about a year, but if I’m correct I believe they also are 150bb buy ins.

I’m looking to get out to Vegas soon. Hopefully purchasing a home as well. Now seems like the time to do it with the way the real estate market has been.

Use the north valet (on Flamingo) when you play at Bellagio. The poker room is just a short walk off to the right once you go inside.
