Low-Roller
Just got back in after the red eye----too tired to sleep after unpacking---came home with mixed emotions.....
After fighting a huge crowd at baggage claim at McCarren flew through the taxi stand and got to NYNY at 11:30 AM---checked in-- no upgrades to a room with a jacuzzi available till sunday---but she did give us an upgade to a larger room with a view no charge no $20 trick necessary--up to the 26th floor--room key doesn't work--I go back down to get new key--leave my wife with suitcases--get back 10 minutes later to find my wife being interrogated by a security guard--had to assure him he was my wife....room had a great view of the roof below and the MGM--oh, well...don't plan on spending much time here anyway....
Lunch at Margaritaville and 4 margaritas each later we are wandering through the forum shops with a great buzz---let it be known my wife can shop with the best of them....but this place is beyond comprehension...4 hours later---who buys this stuff???How do they stay in business with the rent they must pay??? We asked as we had another Margarita at the cantina in the Forum....
Walked to the Bellagio--no Xmas display yet--they are working frantically on it---bummer---go to the casino, play around a little here and there-- but my wife is more occupied watching people have $100 chips swept away in the blink of an eye--went to the buffet--people acted like they never saw crab legs or cream brulee before--but it was very good--I skipped the weird stuff though...sorry no buffalo for me
Back to NYNY after dinner--in the casino till my eyes crossed--I picked up a real attitude towards single deck blackjack--win one lose one win 2 lose 3 win one lose two shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle....bed by 1:30 to regroup
Over to the Hard Rock Saturday late AM just because I wanted to see it--nice place but what a kiddie casino--then the Venetian for shopping... then the Imperial House--had a great BJ dealer and was kicking butt till they took him away and so went the luck--back to even--which I still say is a win in this town---then back to NYNY for dinner at Il Forinianotinawhatever---very good-- then over to the Luxor for the Blue Man Group--the show is better the second time--played the camel races--NOBODY hit on anything---back to NYNY in the casino till 4:30 while my wife slept--it was like Soddam and Gammorrah in the casino at night--girls making out with girls at the craps tables--couples dry humping by the slots--testoterone filled youths and cowboys running around and women cursing like sailors---went to bed and didn't wake up till wife called me at 9;00 when she was done at the Spa--over to the Paris buffet to try the crepes--very good-- dubbed the chef making them the Crepe ****... know what you want, say it and get the hell out of here...food was excellent....shopped the Alladin with wife then seperated--she went to the fashion show mall and I went back to the NYNY to waste time till Steeler game kick off @ 5:30---FINALLY a great dealer and a fun table at the NYNY--had a great BJ session with 4 girls from Denver--walked away with my money when they changed dealers--went over to the MGM to gamble for the first time--YIKES!! Mean dealer--cold table--after 1/2 hour and getting my ass kicked I put the amount I was down on the table and held my breath got a 19--dealer showing a 10 the had a 4 then a 2 (gulp) then a 6---the BJ Gods smiled on me--I RAN out of that casino--never again....
Watched the game @ ESPN with wife after she told me how much she spent I realized i was down for the day--Steelers won but didn't cover--I should know better than to bet on them--but had agood time with fellow fans watching the game--played around in casino till 1:00--on a whim took a cab down to the Orleans but the waitresses were wearing clothes because it was Rodeo week--drat--played blackjack and fought to stay even--back to NYNY and bed at 3:00....
Monday Fremont street--I really like it there--had a BJ dealer @ 4 Queens named Ray from Chicago and he IS the dealer from Vegas vacation--but he was funny and fun and had me in tears--ridiculed me when I went against basic strategy--laughed when he pulled 5 card 21--hummed while people decided on cards---it was great--called me a pussy when we had to get back to the Strip---
Back to NYNY--dinner at Gonzales--pretty good stuff--and after a couple of hours went to the airport--pretty crowded for 11:00 had a rock and roll turbulant flight all the way home--but I'm even...
Random thoughts.....why are ther people in this world that sit down at a $10 table with $20 and act shocked when they lose it.....belly shirts, silicone, thong underwear EVERYWHERE....hey, we have half priced show tickets over and over....DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS TO VEGAS!!!! They hand out porno in the street here for Gods sake!!!---your children don't want to be here, they are bored and they hate you for bringing them here--get a clue--you suck as a parent if you bring your kids to Las Vegas--PERIOD--How can so many people say they won when all I saw was people getting beaten left and right--there were games I played in that prisoners have better first dates with...Cab drivers in Las Vegas are the most interesting people on earth----be nice at the baggage claims at the airport--it was like a hockey game down there--if you have a 6 month old baby and not married, you should not be in Las Vegas with your girlfriends and you know who YOU are and nobody said life was fair (call me old fashioned)---if you don't have enough money to tip, don't go on vacation here---stop bitching to people that have no control over what you are bitching about... stop stopping in the middle of aisles in casinos to talk, be considerate and move to the side...cocktail waitresses don't like working the slots because so many people leave after they order a drink--maybe they wouldn't leave if you took less than a 1/2 hour to bring the drink.....maybe it was me, but the drink service in most casinos was really slow....I'm getting cranky--I better take a nap....
