While the players came here to win the big miles, they weren’t disappointed by the add-ins that Continental provided them. There’s the handy dandy President’s Club pass (which I will be giving away later on – stay tuned) good at the newly reopened P-Club here in Las Vegas or wherever your travels may take you. Then there is the custom deck of OnePass playing cards, a very cool special anniversary luggage tag, and other small perks to make your first days winning pretty nice, especially since we haven’t even had to ante up yet.

Later, the first party (of many we are sure) held at the Fremont Street Experience. I’ve got the menu and it looks like you can join me feasting on Assorted Bruschettas, London Broil BBQ Sandwiches, Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Tart and of course a refreshment since it’s still 100 degrees out: Summertime Sangria.

More later from the home of the 21 million mile poker tourney. Actually it’s much more than that. The total payout from poker alone is 26,250,000 miles and then there’s the mini-slot tourney on Saturday that’s even more miles (265,000 to be exact).
