Have a good time - you rock dude, dont mind the haters

Have fun, Elie. (Some of us) will miss you. I was planning a trip to Vegas in the spring, so I'd be interested in your thoughts on staying at the Venetian.

Have fun storming the castle!

Best News All Week.

John Tang is probably heaving a sigh of relief.

Biggest guy at the Caesar's buffet?

love u Elie

"My performance is not under review. "

Talk about dodging a bullet.

haha, that was funny. enjoy a well earned rest! And the buffets!

I hope you do not have a connecting flight through Minneapolis - didnt' serve me too well last time through.

Do you still have to pay for two tickets on Southwest?

MARIN!!!!!

Just in time for my lonely Valentine's Day!

<3

:(

Hot dogs are $0.99 at Slots o Fun.

"Above the Law won't miss a beat."

Have you ever seen the family guy where Stewie has a job following fat people with a tuba, highlighting how comically slow and oafish they are? That is the beat that ATL marches to while you are here, Elie.

Viva la revolution!

HOW IS BABBY FORMED?

HOW GIRL GET PRAGNENT?

Liposuction shouldn't take ten days.

Have a great vacation, Elie. You'll be missed around here.

[panics]

OMG!

...

I KINDA.....like Elie as editor.

[shivers]

just remember to give your right hand a break half way through your vacation...

you don't want to come back with a right-handed popeye forearm

When Elie arrives in Vegas, they have to change their usual definition of "whale" to avoid confusion.

Okay everybody, give Marin a lot of love next week. This is our chance to make some changes around here. YES WE CAN!!!

Seems risky, Ellie. You know how much the ATL crowd hate you and have been screaming for your removal.

What if they don't hate Marin nearly as much? Are you sure you thought this through?

Have a good time. You're doing a great job

"gwaaa... gwaaa..."

Dow Chemical recently asked several dozen people to take a forced "vacation". When the workers showed back up to work after they're time off, no one had missed them, so they were summarily fired. . .

I think something good is afoot at ATL.

Have a great vacation!

Hmm... Elie in the same city as Halverson... will the US Geological Survey be issuing an earthquake warning?

We <3 you at UNLTTT

*calls buffets in vegas to warn them...they shut their doors next week and save millions by not subjecting themselves to elie's belly...mgm offers me a job working in the in-house dep't, thanks mystal!!!*

"I trust that everybody will treat her with the same kindness and respect that I've come to so thoroughly enjoy."

At least you have a sense of humor about it! :) Have a great trip.

Have a good trip, Elie!

Marin, I hope you're ready for next week. We are a tough crowd around these parts.

All of us who are scared that we're next on the chopping block wish we were joining you...since hitting a million dollar jackpot seems like more of a sure thing than a biglaw paycheck dated 2010. but alas, we must sit and wait for work that isn't coming...

Have fun Elie!

Always bet on black?

Enjoy, considering all the sh*t you get around here...you've earned it.

MysTTTal- if you were a jr associate I supervised I would cut your balls off for your lack of attention to detail. but you're a reporter now and you have done a fantastic job as a reporter on this cavalcade of awful that has struck biglaw.
well done you deserve this

take down at least 4 or 5 buffets while you're out there. I recommend you shut down the Rio's seafood extravaganza and ensure that the Wynn takes a giant loss on your giant appetite you pig. Enjoy, you deserve it.

Elie,
You are doing fine. Enjoy Vegas and shake off the haters. You'll outlast them anyway when they (and their conceited and dubious editing skills on a damned blog, of all places) get laid the hell off.

Elie,
Even if your words were poison I would devour them with my hungry eyes.

Frommer's Review
No visitor would be blamed for never leaving the Vegas Strip -- it's the raison d'être of any Vegas tourist -- but a true foodie should make a point of finding the nearest moving vehicle that can get them to Rosemary's Restaurant. A 15-minute (or so) drive down Sahara (hardly anything) is all it takes to eat what may well be the best food in Las Vegas (certainly, it is consistently voted the best food in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's annual poll, by food critics and readers alike).

The brainchild of Michael and Wendy Jordan, both veterans of the New Orleans food scene (Michael actually opened Emeril's here in Vegas), Rosemary's Restaurant (named for Michael's mother) shows more than a few NOLA touches, from the food to the service, in a room that's warmer and more inviting than most others in Vegas. Note that you can get seats at the bar overlooking the open kitchen, great fun for foodie interaction and not a bad choice for singles.

Enjoy the vacation, big guy.

Godsepeed and happy trip Elie, you deserve it for the crap the commentersgive ya here...

...oh and read a freakin' grammar guide while laying poolside, would ya. ;)

Just remember surfing's a way of life - no hobby. it's like looking at that wave and saying: "hey bud, let's party!"

Elie, this marks two or three good posts in a row for you. While I still think you should hire Nervous T10 1L as a spell-checker you've really been stroking these posts.

MysTTTal

looking forward to this temporarily becoming Sex and the City for pampered JAP lawyers.. again

Elie - Your posts are really perceptive and put information together in an interesting way. I always enjoy your work, and I hope you come back soon.

Have fun in Vegas, Elie! Hurry back!

Accord, 38.

Elie, while you DO sometimes have posts with lots of typos, you've done a good job and are beginning to hit your stride. I like some of the new features you've added and you've done a really good job reporting on some of the crazy happenings lately, resulting in increased transparency for associates. Hope you enjoy your vacation--you deserve it. (And good on you for having good humor re: the constant ragging you get from this very tough crowd!)

38, 48, 51, 52, 53, etc.: Elie, is this really how you want to be spending your vacation?

38, 48, 51, 52, 53, etc.: Elie, is writing these comments really how you want to be spending your vacation?

Is there a grammar and spelling convention in Vegas next week?

I think Ellie is elloping with Halverson. He is on par with her writing skills and it is a dead heat with her eating skills. I hope you enjoy giving foot massages.

I worked at the firm that did the gaming license and financing for the Venetian. Adelson actually made the firm put in extra security (i.e. every employee had a to carry a fob that tracked where the went in the office). I said why don't we just rename all his files "Stupak" and no one would every look at them. Sheldon Adelson is the biggest asshat I ever deal with. Funny how Karma works.

I was playing poker at the Venetian/Wynn all weekend, but I didn't see you. Are you sure you left the buffet?

Aw just kidding Elie, you're a dude in my book.

55 - best post ever. sad part is it's probably true.

I actually don't care about harassing Elie, but I do find it interesting that the only posts I've clicked through to read more of (distinguished from reading just the comments) are those NOT written by Elie. Perhaps advertisers should request data on that.

I was hoping that Marin's lame-ass PR squad would keep their fucking mouths shut. But I guess we're in for a treat, all week.

I'd like a job writing about pro se issues.
