�Viva Las Vegas part II� or �Nelly Furtado must die� Just got back from Vegas. I love that city. Feels like I haven�t been there in a long time, but it has only been three months. I guess that�s what happens when you�re used to going every month. It was definitely a good time, and it was good to get out of San Francisco. Here are some interesting tidbits from the trip: --I ended up $193. Although it was good to leave up, it felt weird. I�m used to winning or losing a lot more. My gambling was more conservative than usual since I don�t have a real job right now. I stuck to really smart games: single-deck blackjack at Binion�s, BJ Blitz at The Rio, and full-pay video poker at Caesar�s. --Nelly Furtado played a big part in my schedule. On Friday I spend 1.5 hours at the pool until her stupid �I�m Like a Bird� song played. Saturday it was two hours at the pool until that damn song. Sunday that freaking song was playing as I left Caesar�s. I really hate that song. --I was rewarded for being a dopy romantic. I saw this cute fountain as I was leaving and I wanted to throw a coin in and make a wish, but I didn�t have any change. So I put a dollar in a slot machine for one spin and the extra quarter. It ended up hitting for $50. --As much as I love my sunglasses, they�re starting to make look silly. I�m developing a raccoon tan since my eyes are always covered when I�m outside. This was the first time I�ve been to Vegas since that debacle with Diane (see March 30th blog). I didn�t realize how much I missed it. I totally have the gambling bug right now. Hopefully I can get enough freelance gigs so I can maintain a monthly schedule. I love Las Vegas.
