Default A gargoyle Christmas

EC's resident gargoyle is heading to his parents' house to spend the Eve with the clan, then he's spreading his wings to head to the (barely) warm(er) clime of Las Vegas to spend the rest of the holiday season with his partner. Hope you all have a kick-ass holiday season, and I'll put a dollar down on 26Red for you.

Back. As it turns out, I had plenty of time (in the mornings especially) to hit up EC, so I wasn't really gone much. But I did have a good time.

What I saw: a really nice hotel room, staffs who were really happy to see crowds again, friendly tourists, rather annoying UFC fans, Ka (a Cirque du Soleil show), La Reve (a Cirque-like show), and Top of the World (the rotating restaurant on the top of the Stratosphere).
What I didn't see: the Grand Canyon and the Strip, from a helicopter. Decided I didn't want to go along with the others for that. I went and got a spa treatment instead.
What I ate: way way way too much.
What I didn't do enough of: exercise. Only two shortish stints in the exercise room. I DID walk a lot, though.
Vegas job I might actually want someday: croupier/craps dealer. There's lots of math involved, and generally people are quite friendly.
Vegas job I'd never ever want: Hostess at the buffet. Keeping tourists away from their all-you-can-eat shrimp for even ten seconds can be dangerous.
Amount of money won by Pubert at the craps tables when I watched: $1142.
Amount of money wont by Pubert at the craps tabels when I wasn't there: -$974.
Total for trip: up $168.
What I'll do from here on out: always watch Pubert when he's playing craps.
Why I don't gamble: We had some spare time before our ride to the airport, so Pubert suggested we hit the craps tables again. He wasn't doing too great - down about $50 on a $10 minimum table. The dealer suggested I put some of the chips in front of me, in case somebody else came along (so I could "keep my spot"). I did.

As the dice came around, Pubert asked if I'd want to roll. I figured he meant "roll for him", so I said "Sure." Instead, he said, "Well, then, put down $10." Oh, so he wants me to bet, too. OK. So I bet $10 (along with everybody else) and rolled. Double 1s. Craps. Everybody loses. OK, no big deal. Try again. Bet $10 (along with everybody else) and roll. Double 1s. Craps. Everybody loses. I laugh. One more try. Bet $10 (along with everybody else) and roll. Double 6s. Craps. Everybody loses.

Odds of crapping out three times in a row: 1 in 4096. But I did it. Lost us $60 in less than a minute. I just stopped after that.

Yeah, Vegas can suck if you're under 21. But by the same token, I don't gamble, I don't drink (much), I don't smoke. So one would think I'd hate Vegas. But I actually enjoy going. I just like to go and look at stuff, and there's a ton of stuff to look at there. Whenever I had some spare time, I'd grab my camera and go picture taking.











Sometimes, you gotta go make your own fun.
