Vegas baby
I arrived in Vegas about just after noon yesterday. I didn't leave exactly when planned. I did my laundry then a I went a sleep. I have been here gambing but doing well for a change.
Last night was a trip. I ended up playing craps with a deaf guy. It was strange for while but the guy was fun and it we were on the same ride that raised our stacks to unbelievable heights. I needed a pack of smokes but didn't want to leave the table. I asked the pit boss if he could get the cigarette girl. I gave her $15 thinking I had to pay for the smokes. The dealer said with my level of play, they were comped. I guess the cigarette girl got a $15. She didn't seem too surprised. Anyway I was thankful because the last time I wanted to get comped cigarettes it was at Ballys and when Harrahs bought them they stopped witht the comping of cigarettes. I was dropping close to $5000 a night too. That is why I won't play there nor will I stay in that crap hotel. The Paris is ok, but for that kind of money, stay at Mandalay or New York, NY.
The night, er the morning, ended well but bumpy. I remember being in the restaurant America trying to get a Chicken Parm at 9:00am. I ended up finding out I doubled my money and it was good since I was almost empty before the uphill swing. It was fun.
Today I am slacking and I saw Juila Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You. I think I have yammered about her before but ouch, she has my heart.
Conrgrats to Joey Chestnut for winning for the second time. Sorrow for Jesse Helms.
Man I think I am hungover.
