Trip Report Prequel

On Friday a group of us are heading out to Las Vegas for an extended weekend of gambling, drinking, cholesterol laden meals, and staying up past our bed time. This is a guy's trip absent even a hint of adult supervision. However, as baby boomer guys, age provides some limits on our excesses.

I always try to hit our local casino a few days prior to any Las Vegas trip to bump my bankroll. There is one 9/6 JOB machine in town at $5.00. I played $500 up to a double and instead of pocketing it like I told myself I would, I headed over to the triple play machines. These are not full play but I decided to gamble on triple play dollar deuces with my $500. Almost immediately a smoker sat down next to me and fired up some noxious blend of yard waste and industrial effluent. I changed to triple play deuces at $2.00 or $30 a spin. I figured I would either hit a home run or more likely, be out of cash quickly.

I was dealt three deuces and filled two lines for a $4,000.00 hit.

Maybe I need to bring the smoker with me to Las Vegas?

More later,

Paul

Wow, congratulations, way to go!

That was a smokin' jackpot hit!

You guys enjoy some boomer-level debauchery in Vegas

Thanks Candy

oh that's great!! funny how I was thinking of doing the same. I have not been to the local casino in almost a year, but I might just go this weekend or next before my april 29 vegas trip. I'd be satisfied with half your luck. :-)

Sweet ante to the pot. Have a great trip.

Take that $4,000 to Vegas and double it, GOOD LUCK

Now if only you and that smoker had been sitting at a bank of Megabucks machines instead. That would have been a trip prequel for the ages.

Of course, a $4000 win is still fantastic.

Congratulations!!! I hope you do as well in Vegas over the weekend.

Thanks everyone,

I am off to work for one last day and then hello Vegas!

Paul

Awesome, Paul -- congratulations!!! I hope that good luck continues in Vegas!!!
