If you been to Vegas then you can understand and relate to what i'm about to say.if you've never been there then its really hard for me to explain it.Maybe 3 words can describe it.
'unfreak'in real".I spent 6 days there and didn't see MGM,Mandalay bay,NY,NY,Luxor,Rio,etc
I met cowtownguy and had a nice time talking over a few drinks.My first meeting with a MJ'er.More on Cow later....
I guess a lot of this vacation has to do with how you do money wise.And boy was this a great vacaton for me.My 1st day I went to Red Rock casino.Played 5 baseball parlays.3 teamer,4 teamer and 5 teamers.I know there sucker bets but when you hit 5 of 5..what a great 1st day.also played blackjack and won big.Bet also on Chris DiMarco to win the British Open .DiMarco today is 1 stroke off the lead.If that sucker wins i have to fly back to Vegas to collect.he was 60-1.I won't watch it..just pray..
The following days went to Paris.It was beautiful. the rain,the stores,the tower that comes right thru the casino.The best i ever seen.Then to Caesars.That was even better then paris.Unreal.Then to Bellagio.Better then Caesars.Sportbook was great.I was like a little kid at an amusement park looking up at the screens.Tropicana and Alladain.Can't even remember them because I'm getting confused.
Then the Venitian..where I met cowtown..Cannot even describe this place.almost better the the real venice.
Then Wynn's place at night.My favorite.The waterfalls at nite...cannot describe it. you have to see it.Blackjack tables were on boxes side all nite.
Also went to Green valley,South coast and the one in lake vegas.[forgot the name..Maggio..]
What made it even sweeter was Alladin was the only place where i lost.Broke even at a few and hit the jackpot at the others.
now maybe if I'm losing these hotels aren't that great...but i was on a "high"...last time i was that "high' was in 1969...at North Texas... and i had to smoke that..
Then i go see Cirque de Souile's " Love" with the beatles.Almost missed it because of cowtown..
AR182...you were wrong..you said it was great.It wasn't even close to great.It was Unbelievable...having never seen a cirque de souile show the music and performance had me mesmerized.Better then any broadway show I've ever seen.Of course thats my era and i loved the beatles."Love' blew me away.
It also helps to go to the Mirages sports books and see another 2 baseball parlays hit right after the show was over.
i had one of the greatest times of my life in Vegas.Even if i lost i'm sure I would of liked it.but winning sure was nice.
I forgot what nite it was. i had a 5 team parlay and the payoff was big.But I had the reds -1.5 on the moneyline.I had won the 1st 4 games.Mets are up 4-0...then a big rain delay..I go off and play blackjack.. a few hours later I go in the sportsbook and the Reds tied it up. Then i sit there in the sportsbook screen and watch the Reds score 3 in the bottom of the 8th.I feel like I'm in Cincinatti. Reds hold on and win by 3.I'm so freak'in happy. I go up to collect my ticket..The guy looks at me and says..you can't cash this here..its from the South Coast Casino..I guess i got a little confused.
Well enough of my boring stories. Steve Di,I missed connecting with you. I had no access to a computer out there.I was going to try to stop by the rain forest bar on wedr but we changed plans.
I promise the next time I come out I'll hook up with you.
I met Cowtown on thur nite at the venetian.He was in the finals of a poker tournament.we connected after he and a few others all split the pot.
What a great time talking to him for an hour.it was my 1st time meeting a madjacker.I've seen those pictures of you guys but thats different. what a great down to earth guy.It's almost like I've known him for years.It must be great when all you guys get together and share war stories.
I enjoyed talking to him and him buying me a few drinks.I'm not a big drinker but Cow bought a few 7&7's for me.Where talking and i asked him what time is it.It's 7.05.I'm susposed to met my other friends at 7.00 at the Mirage for 'Love'..Holy shit...Cowtown..I did make it at 7.25.Just so you know. thank god the ventian is across the street from the Mirage.
Anyway thank you for the drinks.I really enjoyed our conversation.you are one great guy.
Well,i think the Los vegas travel bureau should use me to promote there city.
It was beyond my expectations and i didn't even see half of it.
I can retire from education in a few years.Vegas has jumped up the ladder..and just maybe if dimarco wins this open I will be flying out to collect next week. but I'm returning...anyway..
sorry this is so damn long..cow..take care
