Since I haven't posted since I went to Vegas, I hope you didn't think I won big and didn't return. That would of been very difficult for me since I don't gamble, and I didn't gamble at all while I was there. And by the way, I didn't see anyone at the tables or slots smiling and jumping up and down with money flying out at them like seen on TV. And since the design of the whole city is to route you through all the casinos when your not ignoring the street peddlers handing out porno business cards, I spent a lot of time walking through casinos. So when they say 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' they mean don't tell anyone that everyone gambling is losing their sorry a$$, and it's their money that is staying in Vegas.
There, that should of taken the rose tint out of everyone's glasses and sent the gamblers away in a huff. I do have to convey one last observation on gambling though, this observation was made outside the casino restrooms while waiting for my spouse.....(I think that is where she went to do her gambling since she didn't care for me watching....gambling, watching her gambling). I was watching a young man working a slot machine next to the doorway. Now working a slot means shutting your mind down and pushing a button on the machine, then moving your hand to the right and pushing another button. You repeat that until your money and mind are completely gone, or the flashing lights on a different machine draw you away. So all the while I was there he pushed one button, then the other, back and forth with a zombie expression on his face, with this distant hope of walking away a millionaire. That pretty much is what all the people on the slots were doing, or so I thought. After being there quite awhile, (my wife must of been winning) and watching him the whole time, I noticed he wasn't always paying attention to the machine, he really was watching the women coming in and out of the restroom, although he did it without ever changing the cadence he had moving his hand from one button to the other. I thought that was a tad bit pathetic even for Vegas standards.
Nuff of that, I did enjoy the trip, and the next few posts will document some hopefully interesting observations and details. I didn't bring my camera, but I did get a few pictures in Vegas, I haven't really looked at them yet, but maybe I can share a couple.
