Vegas (without) Babies!
Gobo, DanNation, and I are heading into Day 3 of our Vegas trip, having left our spouses to care for our combined 6 children and 17 animals on their own. Friday was spent at the Mirage pool and then at The Price Is Right Live. TPIR is okay, but when you don't get called to come on down, it's a bit lame. But we did get to see Cliffhangers and Plinko played live. And one of the Barker Beauties was fairly hot (while the other one was strangely most assuredly not). So that was alright. Still, I think we Wonks would officially recommend that you could skip it.
ZEUS. Before TPIR, we were killing time. I put about $20 in a video penny slot called Zeus. I bet 30 lines at a penny per line. On my second spin, I got a bonus round of 20 free spins. It took like 10 minutes to get through, and was quite profitable, considering that I had up to that point risked only 30 cents. Then, in an attempt to get rid of the change I would receive if I cashed out, I played a liitle bit more. Again on the second spin, everything went crazy and another lengthy bonus round ensued. DanNation was incredulous that such a result could occur whilst putting up only $1.20 in total bets. As an afficianado of video slots, he protested that such things just do not happen: not only had I reached 2 bonus rounds immediately, but each round yielded about $30 with only 30 cents bet on the pull. I cashed out with a tidy $60 profit. DanNation, on Saturday, came across a Zeus machine during our fieldtrip downtown. He put $15 in and proceeded to lose it all immediately. Then, while playing craps at Binion's (which the owners seem to have put a bit of money into so it 's not AS skeezy as it once was), Dan curses Zeus during the middle of a semi-hot roll where everyone has like $80 invested on the table, and a 7 appears immediately. Way to piss off Zeus, Dan. Fucker.
SPA. We tried something new this year and went to the spa for massages. Definitely worth it. Relaxing massage, architecturally stunning soaking tub where you can sit and watch college football on TV, and free trail mix. You get a pass to the spa for the full day, so we actually went back later in the afternoon. But good God, the steam room almost killed us with drippings of boiling water randomly falling on us from the ceiling.
SPORTSBOOK. My brother-in-law called in a favor, and got us a skybox at the MGM Grand's sportsbook to watch today's set of football games. The skyboxes, as far as we understand, are usually reserved for their highest of rollers. Should be amazing. Then we head to the newly-opened emeril's Stadium in the Palazzo to watch the Steelers Sunday night game. Now, on to bet ridiculous 10-team parlays.
