Prada Watch
Published Wednesday, December 20, 2006 by baccarat_guy.
So.. I thought I did really really well with picking the Birthday present for Ellen this year. This is just a hip, sexy watch, IMHO.
But, alas, Ellen doesn't "like it enough." --- (I have to admit, I don't really know what that means.)
So.... It will be returned to Neiman Marcus tomorrow --- and we will procure a new watch in Grand Cayman, early next week.
Ladies (and gents).... I would love your opinions !

How crazy people leave THE VEGAS - a timeline
Published by baccarat_guy.
OK, anyone who is familiar with Las Vegas airport knows that even arriving 1.5 hours before flight time can be risky.
So, this is the timeline of an unstable (YES, ME !) wacky person's approach to leaving Las Vegas this past Sunday morning.
Flight Scheduled : 6:55AM LAS-MSP
Times are approximate (but, pretty accurate), but, you get the idea !
5:15AM --- Baccarat_King tells pit-boss to contact VIP services and let them know to hold the Limo.
5:35AM --- Baccarat_King finally colors up and leaves the dice table.
5:40AM --- Baccarat_King realizes that he forgot to do OLCI (online check in), since he was planning on arriving at LAS early (had scheduled the car for 5:15AM)
5:42AM --- Baccarat_King goes online with NWA.com while on the phone w/ the front desk at Paris Las Vegas asking for their FAX #.
6:00AM --- Still packing, call down to front desk to make sure they got the FAX (saved a PDF of Boarding Pass to the desktop just in case)
6:10AM --- Baccarat_King leaves Paris Las Vegas for LAS
6:24AM --- Baccarat_King arrives at LAS (and tips the driver $60 --- since he has been waiting since 5:AM for the pickup) --- I enter LAS and beg to check my bags (I have "4" Bags) --- but, the awesome gate agent says they can't check-it (even for a later flight) and that she is getting on the phone to inform the gate I am on my way
--- Baccarat_King trys to hide as much of the Penhaligons purchases (shampoo, body wash etc. etc.) --- no line at FC security --- but TSA manages to find 2 of the body wash products (but, totally my fault, since I was supposed to arrive earlier -- nice TSA lady, I tell her she should keep them for herself since the body wash is $30 per 10 oz. bottle.... she laughs)
--- arrive at Gate D14 at appoximately 6:47AM
--- I'm the last one on the plane, apologize to the flight attendant Alison C. for all of my bags -- she helps me find room for all of them --- and gets me 2 glasses of water. (ABSOLUTE best flight attendant and first class service of the year.... and I will write into NWA about her... absolutely superb !)
6:54AM --- Cell Phones OFF push-back begins
7:20AM --- Bloody Mary in hand (and a sparkling water on the side); waiting for my Breakfast
