This weekend I ventured out of Pasadena for my very first trip to Las Vegas. Not sure what I expected to find there, but considering I’ve only ever been to the airport and the Office Depot, anything would have been fine with me. This trip was very spur of the moment and our luxurious accomadations at the Motel 6 reflected that. Not that I was complaining, of course. The cheap motel room made for more money to spend in the casinos.
I was impressed with my first look at the city of sin. I got out to a lot of the casinos that I have heard so much about and many that I hadn’t heard of at all. My game of choice was going to be roulette, but after losing $15 on the first night, I decided to keep away from those tables. It was just too random and I lost my money too quickly. Instead, I hit the $3 blackjack tables. The first time we played was at The Frontier and I was there for about 4 hours and in the end broke even with alcohol in my blood and a fresh pack of smokes. The second time was at Slots Of Fun (next to Circus Circus) and was there for about 2 hours. I also broke even and had a few drinks. I managed to make money while in the games, but always ended up losing my winnings and fighting to get back to what I had put in. All in all, though, the BJ games were some of the most fun I had all weekend. I am excited to go back next year and clean up.
There was lots of other fun throughout the weekend and most of it was fueled by free or $1 drinks. I didn’t get so drunk I couldn’t walk straight, but I sure as hell couldn’t think straight. Going on such a small budget made for an interesting time and I can’t wait to go back when I have some real money to spend.
Check out some of the pictures from the trip.
You guys look so goth.
