Life Day 21917: Sitting around Sin City

July 15, 2007 on 2:02 pm | In On The Road |

I took yesterday off after delivering my load here in Vegas. I took a nap until about 1000 then got a room. After a nice rejuvenating hot shower, I hit the casino. I had a ½ lb bacon cheeseburger w/ potato salad for lunch.  When you get a room here, they give you a few coupons to use during your stay (hence the bacon Cheeseburger, it was 20% off). Among the remaining coupons was one for $5.00 match play. This coupon, I took to the Crap table. With the assistance of the croupier, I turned $40.00 into $115.00. Not bad for a beginner. I took a short break at the bar, then hit the Blackjack table with yet another coupon, this time a 2 for 1 payout on your first Blackjack instead of 1½ to 1. I again started out with $40.00. I went through 3 different dealers before I finally got my Blackjack, but in the interim, I had amassed a sizeable (for me) fortune of a little over $100.00. I made another $40.00 by doubling my $$$ at the Video Blackjack machine, and as an afterthought on the way out, I put $20.00 in the Megabucks Slot Machine. In 6 spins, I had accrued a cool $30.00 profit, so I walked away. All in all, it was a good day at the tables and machines.
Today is storage shed laundry and day. I have to take to the storage shed, all of the stuff that I removed from my truck and put in my jeep on my last visit.  Then, I have to either do laundry or buy more new clothes. Oh well, I’d better get to it.
