Day 147 - Failing in the Morning, Gambling in the Afternoon


We were up bright and early today and on the strip by 08:00 to catch the bus up the strip where we hopped off and then went to board a 2nd one heading east. Unfortunately Danny’s stomach was not in the mood for this early start and we soon had to call off our morning plans and make our way back towards the hotel!

After a long walk back, which included a brief bit of free gambling (we still lost) and a wee spot of lunch, we made it back to the hotel and had a little flutter in the casino.

We passed the rest of the day by finishing off the hellish task of photo sorting and blogging before popping downstairs for some tea. After this we spent a few hours in the casino working around the different machines, eventually coming out only $10 down – yey! Due to actually spending more than 10 minutes in the casino we finally got to abuse the drink service. This is where a waitress will come around and take drinks orders of anyone who is gambling. She will then bring you the drink and you simply tip her whatever you like – normally $1 per drink. 3 JD’s and cokes along with 3 vodka and OJs for $6 – not bad.

Hopefully Danny’s stomach will recover in time for tomorrow so it is an early night tonight.
