Man, this place is practically empty!
One of the benefits, I guess, of being an early riser while in Vegas!
DAMN IT! I had eggs benedict and forgot to take a pic. But maybe it was for the better. Because the hollandaise sauce seemed a bit bland. I’ve had much better at the Indian Casino (Inn of the Mountain Gods) near Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Holy crap! I’m tired again! Meant to check out the bowling scene here, but realized I was pooped from all that walking (to the cafe) I did went I left the room earlier. Gonna take a nap...
...then head back done.
DAMMIT! The curtain in the room can’t block out all of the light from outside. Had to use the one of the chairs to hold the lower half of the curtain to the wall. Still left some light coming in...
But the lamp on the nightstand mostly blocks that from hitting my eyes.
So, I’ll be good for this nap...hopefully.
YOU'RE A MAD MAN MUMBLES, YOU GET TO STAY ANOTHER NIGHT FOR SLEEP OR YOU GONNA EDIT YOUR TRAVEL LOG TO SHOW PROPER SLEEPING?
As long as the light outside isn’t too bright and leaking in past the curtain, I’ll be fine.
But ruck! The daytime napping conditions here are HORRIBLE! Look how bright it was facing away from the window even with the curtain fully closed and pinned againt the wall with the chair!
Probably why I had some mini-nightmares about my truck’s steering and brakes not working properly.
So enough with that napping nonsense...
... and get ready again to go back downstairs.
I'm tired just reading, gl at the tables
Alright, time to try bowling. The layout isn’t that confusing, but I’m getting up there in years and I took GPS coords the other day to quickly find the entrance again...
Oh, wait. That was for the hotel elevators. I guess I’m gonna have to wing it. I remember needing to go up an escalator to get there...
Here we go!
Fucksake man, what happened next?!?
The tension is killing me!
BALLIN'!!
Ugh! Trying to bowling was a bust! At least for now.
First, they make you wear bowling shoes...
(I ain’t putting MY feet into shoes worn by someone ELSE! No way, buddy!)
And the lanes are being reserved for local league tournament play until later this afternoon. But seriously, there are a ZILLION lanes open...
They can’t slide me into one of them?!!
Fluck ‘em if they can’t let me bowl right now! By the time this place is open for free bowl, I’ll probably be multiple rebuys into a No Limit game having set up the suckers at the table into thinking I only go all-in with nothing. Won’t be able to leave the game THEN! So, no bowling for now. Or maybe not at all on this trip.
But finding the bowling center with that ridiculously long escalator ride wasn’t a complete waste, as there was a little coffee shop nearby...
And they had some neat treats to choose from to have with your coffee...
I settled on a bear claw to go with the joe, and settled up with the cute cashier, including leaving a sizable tip...
(Think she might be impressed with the huge tip I left??? Maybe I should swing back by there and ask her when she gets off of work...)
In any event... Back down to the main casino floor to find someplace to sit and have my coffee...
If anyone has Mumbles on ignore, you should turn that off for a day so to read his trip report.
Maybe 10 years ago this is a lame/tame/etc (no hookers, coke, 5 figure+ wins) but in 2020 this is the nuts for Vegas reports.
Re finding a place to sit and have my coffee (and bear claw)...
The first place was an expensive bust. Because I couldn’t resist trying my hand at getting super lucky on one of those ridiculously bad negative EV slot machines. This one in particular...
I mean, who knows, I coulda gotten lucky. Just look at the size of the jackpot on this baby!
I could seriously use a big “explosion” right about now, if you know what I mean...
So, yeah. I put enough money in the machine for a few tries at that big-ass jackpot...
And...
Nope. It was a bust. But I’m not too proud to cash this ticket in. Who knows. The cash could keep me from needing to file bankruptcy or something.
And onward to find a better place to have my coffee and bear claw, for flops sake!
BALLIN'!!
wait you didn't bowl cause you have to wear bowling shoes? have you been bowling before?
