WEEKEND AT THE ORLEANS

by Ed Bruce edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

I guess I should just move in..... they have everything I want and then some.

Neil Sedaka four nights, I went twice...he is always great, always on time and always the third greatest composer in history.

Wranglers hockey Friday and Saturday....great arena 12,000 fans for two nights...a shootout and an overtime ! ! ! These games are never easy and on Saturday night to the second biggest crowd of the year the Wranglers extract victory from defeat with 19 seconds left. At 2-1 with two minutes left, the Wranglers drag their goalie for six attackers and in the ensuing charge to the net, 7 players are flat on the ice when the puck comes free at the near faceoff circle to captain leading scorer Peter Ferraro who rams it in...the Wranglers then win in overtime.....WHAT A MOMENT.....the most dramatic in the teams five year history here.

Crown boxing Friday....not the best matches...lots of down time and repeat opponents...they try hard but are in direct competition with Sedaka and Wranglers Hockey at exactly the same time under the same roof.

They also have an availiable live poker room with jackpots, how can I do it all ?
