CHECKED OUT OF THE WESTWARD HO AND INTO THE LAS VEGAS HILTON(2-DAY COMP WITH 2 DINNER BUFFETS). NICE ROOMS, BUT STARTING TO SHOW THEIR WEAR. I'LL TURN-IN THE VIPER AT 1PM AND WANTED AT LEAST ONE MORE SPEED RUN DOWN PARADISE ROAD, SO I HEAD DOWN TO THE HARD ROCK HOTEL. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, THEY WON'T VALET PARK THE CAR BECAUSE IT'S A CONVERTIBLE AND I WON'T PUT THE ROOF ON. HARDROCK BITE ME!! GOING TO HAVE DINNER WITH BARFARKEL TONIGHT SO I'LL GET A CHEAP RENTAL FROM ALLSTATE. NO AFRONT TO BARF, BUT AT THESE PRICES, I'LL GET CHEAP AND MAKE ANOTHER BJ RUN TONIGHT. KUDOS TO DREAMCAR RENTALS FOR MAKING THIS A MEMORABLE STAY TO SAY THE LEAST. I'LL BE SURE TO USE YOU AGAIN IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

I CHECK OUT OF THE STRATOSPHERE AROUND NOON, BUT NOT BEFORE LOSING $125 BUCKS ON THEIR SINGLE-DECK GAME. A SHORT DRIVE OVER TO THE GOLDEN NUGGET BEFORE RETURNING THE VIPER TO IT'S RIGHTFUL OWNERS WAS NEXT. WON $65 BUCKS IN THIRTY MINUTES OF PLAY. WELL I SADLY RETURNED THE SNAKE HOME AND CROSSED THE STRIP TO HIT THE STARDUST FOR LUNCH. PLAYED DD AFTERWARDS FOR ABOUT FORTY MINUTES AND LOST ANOTHER $70 BUCKS. WALKED TO THE WESTWARD HO AND LOST $35 IN ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES PLAY AND DECIDED TO TRY SLOTS OF FUN ONE MORE TIME. THIS TIME I BROUGHT IN FOR $100 AND PLAYED ONLY TWENTY MINUTES, QUITTING AHEAD $50. THIS PLACE GIVES ME THE GEEBIES! I WANT THE WESTWARD HO IN THE WORST WAY TODAY, THOUGHT IF I TOOKED THEM FOR 5 OR 6 BILLS, I'LL RENT THE VIPER GTS COUPE(450 HORSES). BORUGHT IN FOR $300 AND STARTED PLAYING GREEN AND MANAGED A ROUGH WIN OF $235. GOT UP AS MUCH AS $350, BUT LOST FIVE OUT OF SIX OF THE LAST HANDS. THIS WAS THE LAST I'LL SEE OF THIS HO ON THIS TRIP OUT. TOOKED A CAB FROM THE STARDUST BACK TO LV HILTON, TOO DAMN LAZY AND HOT TO WALK IT BACK.

WATCHED FOOTBALL AND FELL ASLEEP AROUND 3 OR SO AFTER ALLSTATE RENTAL PICK ME UP FOR MY RENTAL CAR(DODGE NEON FOR $45 BUCKS A DAY). FROM THE PENTHOUSE TO THE TOILET!! WOKE UP AT 6:45 AND DROVE LIKE A BAT TO HAVE DINNER WITH BARF. GREAT CONVERSATION AND MEAL, THANKS FOR THE INVITE. PLAYED BJ AFTERWARDS AT THE EL CORTEZ FOR ABOUT FORTH MINUTES WON ABOUT $85 BUCKS. THEY CALL THIS REMODELLING. THEY MUST HAVE FINALLY CLEANED THE CARPET BECAUSE THEY PLACE STILL LOOKS FUNKY. I WAS ACOMPANIED WITH A FELLOW BJ PLAYER WHO I WON'T NAME. WE BOTH DROVE TO THE SAN REMO WHERE I HAVEN'T PLAYED BEFORE AND THIS WAS THE MOST HEAT I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED IN ALL TIME IN LV. I GUESS THE FLOOR STAFF DIDN'T LIKE MY SHADES(FILA WRAP AROUNDS) AND ASKED IF I COULD REMOVE THEM. I REPLIED, "DO YOU WANT ME TO PLAY BLIND"? I STARTED TO TAKE THEM OFF AND HE STOPPED ME SAYING THAT IF THEIR SCRIPTS O.K.!! WELL MY PARTNER WAS HITTING GOOD AND I OVERHEARD TWO FLOOR SUPVS SAY TO THE PIT BOSS, "THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO TAKE US"!

I WAS ONLY BETTING RED AND WOULD ON OCCASSIONS BET $25-50. I ALERTED MY FELLOW PLAYER THAT THEY WERE ON TO US AND WE STARTED THE ACT. THEY EVEN PLANTED ANOTHER SUPERVISOR FROM THE CRAP PIT AT 3RD BASE TO THROW US STOP. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE WAS DRESSED JUST LIKE THEM AND I RECOGNIZE HIM FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE CASINO. THIS FOOL DOUBLED DOWN ON ACE-THREE AGAINST THE DEALERS FACE CARD ON HIS FIRST HAND. I GLANCED OVER TO THE FLOOR SUPERVISOR ABOUT TEN FEET AWAY TO SEE IF HE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO REACT, I DIDN'T! I KEPT SPREADING $15 TO 35, BUT I WAS WINNING A LITTLE. THIS WAS A FIRST FOR ME AND I HAVE ONLY BEEN ASKED TO NOT BJ AT ONE CASINO AND WAS SAM'S TOWN ABOUT TWO YEARS. I'VE BEEN BACK THERE SINCE PLAYING TWENTY MINUTES SESSIONS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. WELL I STARTED ORDERING DRINKS TO COVER BUT THIS ONE BOZO KEPT HANGING OVER US LIKE A FLY TO S--T! THIS WAS INTENSE FOR ME! TO BE HONEST I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I'VE WON-LOST, I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE WITHOUT INCIDENT.

I THINK I'VE HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE EVENING AND STARTED BACK TO THE LV HILTON AND DECIDED TO TRY THE STARDUST AGAIN. BUT, I CHANGED MY MIND AND HIT WESTWARD HO(STUPID). LOST $75 BUCKS AND MY SENSE. THE STARDUST WAS JUST A LITTLE FAVORABLE GETTING $115 AND QUITTING FOR THE NIGHT. NEXT THE CONCLUSION. BLUE NILE
