Via Las Money

So I guess my plan of winning the lottery & living off my winnings' interest is a No-Go. Our days were fun-filled--I got to play in a Poker Tournament & got knocked out by pocket kings, walked up & down the strip multiple times, won & loss at video poker, went shopping but didn't buy anything , Neil almost got barfed on, I got assaulted by a jackass & some guy tried to "be my friend."

I lost in the tournament with pocket Queens. I went all in & the guy had frickin' pocket kings. Sick. Our first day already was not going well.

Although we ate well, I think we did our fair share of burning it off walking up & down the strip. From Mandalay Bay to Treasure Island is super far. We did get a chance to stroll through beautiful hotels. Bellagio & Wynn were my favorites.

I found my game--video poker. I don't understand slots. I guess you have to be patient to win in slots. At least I had some kind of control in video poker. It would have been funer if I won more but I guess better luck next time.

Shopping was the one thing I was really looking forward to. Well, call me thoroughly disappointed cause that's what I was. Nada. Zero. Zilch. I think we went to the wrong places. I feel that I am now "entitled" to go shopping & buy stuff in Hawaii since I didn't get anything in vegas.

Since we were there during St. Patrick's Day weekend & with the start of Spring Break, you can imagine the amount of drunkeness abounding the town. Does that make sense? I don't know. anyhow, lots of young drinking people. We were sitting in O'Shea's (a little ghetto casino on the strip) & one guy sat next to Neil as we were playing some video poker, clearly out of it. He began sliding off the chair & Neil tried to pick him up. Next thing you know, the guy is leaning over in our direction, I was scared that he was going to spew all over us. He apparently blacked out & his friends had to take him outside.

And my last two stories are classically "Nicole." First of all, Circus Circus is right next to "Slots of Fun" Casino which is the seedier place to be. Neil likes it cause it has $1 BlackJack. Sticking to what I know best, I was at my video poker machine doing pretty well. I was up about $10. I then notice someone sitting next to me, just watching me. I look over & he says, "wow, you're really good." thinking *oh f* I knew from the beginning what would happen. He preceeded to tell me that he always wanted to marry a Japanese girl & that the majority of Caucaian guys are in the KKK (I think he was trying to imply that Neil was racist). At this point I was down in credits, this time another $10. I didn't want to leave without at least breaking even. He wanted me to give him my number or at least take his. he just wanted to be "friends." Before I got up & left to find Neil, he told me that people should just be honest. Yeah, i really should have been honest. I was kinda scared & creeped out. To top it off, I had a hard time finding neil afterwards.

then, the next day we were at the outlet mall & I see this guy coming towards me in the aisle. I move on the side & he passes by. His friend behind him, stepped out of his way into my path & intentionally bumped into me and said sarcastically, "oh excuse me." Once again, I should have been honest with that big fat batchagaloop.

Despite some of the bad incidences, we had a really great time. I can't wait to start planning the next trip. :)


We're Back!
