The Tyrsman and the One-Armed Bandits
I know, the title sounds like a cheesy western.
:)
Greetings from Las Vegas, Sin City USA! Woo hoo! I have taken the Castle Excalibur as my temporary residence, and have plundered their vaults, noshed their food, and leered at their barmaids.
My total winnings on the slot machines -- about a thousand dollars. The amount I've put into them -- significantly less than that. I figure I've won more than my hotel room and food for the... 4 days? that I've been here. It's really hard to say. For example, I started this evening with 210 dollars in my pocket. I left the floor with 742 dollars in my pocket, so I made over 500 bucks! Woo hoo! I had 2 regular jackpots and 1 mega jackpot on a quarter machine. Finally I cashed out and left because the staff were starting to look at me suspiciously. (Lest ye worry that I have a gambling problem, I have to mention that on no other night have I spent more than 40 dollars, and I think there was one night I didn't play at all.)
I've had a good time while I've been here, and not just gambling. I've slept plenty, I had a caricature done, and went on a motion simulation ride which was really cool. Last night I walked the strip from the Riviera back here, after I got there by cab and discovered the show I wanted to see had been cancelled. That was okay; I had a great time walking back, and I got to see some of the other sights. If I hadn't walked back I never would have found the Desert Passage shopping center at the Aladdin, and I had a great time going back there today to wander through the stores.
Damn! There's so much to tell ya'll about. I went to a psychic and I ate really really good food (not with the psychic, although I do think that's a good idea -- "Your wife's cheating on you; here, have some more ribs"). And I.... ummm... Y'know, I'm having one of those moments where I'm extremely aware that I'm writing for an audience. I'm a little self-conscious about this next thing. And no, I didn't get laid.
I umm... Oh, Hel. I got my right nipple pierced. Yes, I acknowledge the idea that I may be having a mid-life crisis or something; I don't really know. But I've been thinking about it for a while -- not the right one in particular; I was going to have them both done. I didn't, because this was pain like no other pain I've ever experienced. If I hadn't known better, I would have sworn the needle was going, rather than through the nipple, down through the chest wall and was soon to erupt out my back. It was that bad. I almost passed out, and I've been hurt before -- breaking your back/crushing your face and ending up with a new hole into your mouth through your cheek isn't exactly painless, and I have a few tattoos. Nothing at all compared to this. I went pale and got dizzy and they had to go next door to buy me water. So I didn't have the other one done (if I HAD passed out I probably would've, by default, since I had paid for it).
Anyway, that's pretty much it. I'm going to head to bed shortly. I'll fill everyone in on what happened in Barstow in my next entry. In the meantime, I have more petroglyph pictures! http://homepage.mac.com/asahel/
