Cameron's Trip report, part 2
Cameron's Trip report, part 2
For the rest of my TR installments, I'm just going to mention a bunch of
stuff in no particular order.
- Burt Cohen's Las Vegas Strip Racebook Crawl/Contest was a lot of fun. It
was Burt, Denny in Mass, & myself. We went from Circus-Circus to the
Riviera to the Wynn to the Venetian to the Imperial Palace to Caesars Palace
to the Bellagio, and finally to Bally's. Denny hit a $5 exacta on the final
race @ Hollywood Park to win, or should I say, lose the least amount of
money. We all had to place at least 1 bet on every race & Burt took notes.
He'll have a detailed report. Of all the books we went to, I liked the
Riviera's & CP's books the best.
- I had a phenomenal run of luck late Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening.
At the Fitzgeralds, I hit a 10 cent royal flush. Later at the El Cortez, I
won $500 shooting dice without hitting a point. I placed a $4 horn bet on
the come out roll & rolled 7 straight horn bets; 3, 3, 3, 11, 11, 11, 12.
When I rolled the 12 I had $60 on the horn. Pretty sweet indeed. Later
that night I went to the Hilton, where my luck continued, hitting 4 aces w/a
3 kicker for $200 on a 10 cent VP machine.
- Monday, I lost all the money I won on Sunday and then some. The details
aren't important, but let's just say that day will be forever known to me as
"Bloody Monday".
- Evil Elvis treated Andrew in AL & myself to Sushi Factory on Sunday. They
must have remembered my fondness for unagi, because when I ordered it, they
gave me a very generous portion right away. It was delicious, as was the
Tracy Roll. Thanks, EE!
- Donna treated Walt & me to dinner in the Redwood Grill @ the California.
Walt & I each ordered the Porterhouse. I was pretty good & it came with
dessert. Everything was very delicious. Thanks again, Donna!
- I don't know how the slot club at the Fitz works, but they gave me $15
cash back & $57 worth of comps with only 1700 points on my card. Hey, I'll
take it! 1700 points won't even get me arrested at MSS or the Fremont.
- After my "Bloody Monday" ordeal, I wanted something cold to drink when I
got back to the Fitz. Hoping for a 7-Up or bottled water, I walked to the
gift shop, only to find out it closes at 11pm! Alright, I had a pocketful
of quarters, so I figured I'd get a drink from the pop machine on my floor.
I put my $1.75 in (what a joke!) & selected a Powerade, SOLD OUT; Dasani,
SOLD OUT; Sprite, SOLD OUT; root beer, SOLD OUT. I settled for a Coke,
which would have been great if I were eating a hot dog or some pizza, but
not before going to bed. The gift shop at the El Cortez is open 24/7 every
day of the week. Just another reason why I like staying there.
More to come. Is Doc in? Doc is not in? HI-OH!

At least you didn't have a "Bloody Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday" like I did! LOL
Great trip report Cameron! It was a pleasure meeting you, but I'm
disappointed I didn't get to spend more time talking with you. At
least I got to take a peek at the famous calculator watch. It was the
highlight of my trip. :)

Re: Cameron's Trip report, part 2
Cameron, you seem like a cool guy, but boring. I will send you and
George the revolutionary diet that Wife has developed. I'm below 200
now! Drinking to much sodapop and booze will kill ya just like John
Candy and Chris Farley. North Dekta must be boring palce to live and i
guess their must not be many women there, it must get lonely and sugar
and booze is someting to turn to.
