Ignoring the fact that it makes absolutely zero sense to invite four women you barely know to what Amy describes as a small event with a lot of her mom’s friends (unless of course TLC is footing the bill), I would have to agree that the Lana-Alicia drama is likely to cause some commotion. Amy says if everyone is good and they check their bullshit at the door, she’ll be fine. If they cross the line of respect and start shit, she may not be so fine. Plan on the latter, my dear.
Yay Jen’s going to a poker game! I love love LOVE me some poker and I especially love chicks who play poker so I’m happy TLC is showing us more of Jen’s work life. Jen valets at the Golden Nugget and sits down at a high-stakes game with a bunch of famous poker players:
(I secretly love him a little bit)
Jen walks up with two racks of black chips – that’s TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. She interviews that playing poker is very grueling. You have to be on your game 100% of the time every single time you play. She says that winning 60% of the time is enough to maintain her lifestyle, but that means she’s still losing 40% of the time and it SUCKS to lose. Knowing how much it sucks to lose when you buy in for $200, I really just can’t put into words how awful it must be to lose when you’ve bought in for 100 times that.
Jen is carrying: a) 2 years worth of my rent; b) enough for a decent car with no payment; c) the annual salary of someone just above the poverty line
Jen is not having a good night, at one point saying “I’m getting slaughtered.” She interviews that she always dreads telling Marco that she lost. That seems really unfair. I mean, imagine if out of a five-day work week, two of those days you got home and told your hubby how work went and he got pissed. If you both already know going into it that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are going to be bad but the paychecks will still keep coming, why get mad about it?
Jen cashes out and heads to meet Marco for a bite to eat while interviewing that when she loses, Marco gets very upset because it means less money for the bills, the kids, etc. She says it’s very unsettling and it always ends up affecting their relationship. I can’t believe they’ve stayed together for I think it’s 11 years now if this even an issue, but we don’t get to see Jen break the news just yet…
Because after a commercial, we’re “treated” (someone shoot me) to watching Alicia have her hair and makeup done straight-up Toddlers & Tiaras-style. Her best friend Tricia is there too, with Sparkle on her lap. The dog. We’re not at a strip club people; we’re in a salon of some sort. Oh wait – it looks like it’s Alicia’s living room.
Is that dog getting a massage? Rich people bother me.

This was a great recap, thanks! Oh, and people who order spicy crab rolls very very very mild, like almost not spicy…crazy mild are why God gave line cooks saliva.
What is with Lana and why don’t we ever see her husband?
@labowner — I’m fairly positive that she ate him.
JimbobJones I would believe that. Wonder if he is an iffy businessman, thus he doesn’t want to be shown. Oh and Lana very easy to be rich in a place that is known to be very inexpensive. Take your show to NYC or LA and see how far you get. Her sister is a train wreck from hell.
Does Marco not work at all?
Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by.
I stand corrected re: Marco.
“Prior to working as a professional hairdresser, Traniello was a real estate agent and the captain of an oil ship In 1999, while on vacation in America, Traniello met his future wife, professional poker player Jennifer Harman, in the parking garage of The Bellagio hotel and casino, where their cars were parked next to each other.”
Also, Victor Fuchs is a health economist. Sounds pretty shady to me.
“Victor R. Fuchs is an American health economist. He has been called “the dean of health economists” by New York Times economics columnist David Leonhardt. He is the Henry J. Kaiser, Jr. Professor at Stanford University, emeritus. Since 1962, he has been a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is the co-director of the FRESH-Thinking Project, CASBS, at Stanford University.”
So kind of sounds like he’s in California most of the time. And nearing 80.
Thanks Wikipedia!
That May-December thing is REALLY common out here, by the way; much more so than my native Detroit. When I first moved here 7 years ago I totally didn’t get that I was actually being hit on by older men, like really older men. It just seems way more acceptable or sometimes even expected. Gotta love Vegas girls!
Oh my mother loving god look at what I found. Lana is reality tv whore. Who’d a thunk.
