vegas winnings

for the most part, we were too busy with other fun and entertaining things to gamble in vegas.

but, being it was our last night there, and after DinnerInterloper* had given us false hope that we could just waltz right in, past the line, no cover paid, right into the club he owned part of ...

we decided we didn't want to pay a cover for under an hour of club or bar time, and we'd try our luck a bit.

it was, of course, freezing in the casino. I ran upstairs to grab my jacket and met the girls back downstairs.

two were playing, so I joined them... they'd both been playing since I left. neither one was up any cash...

we all kept playing for a little while, then one was out... then the other...

one friend looked as tired as I felt, and the other told me to keep on playing, they'd wait.

making a quick assessment, and being I'd actually already won more than 6 times what I began playing with, I decided to do the wise thing, and free them of their tired misery.

I took my slip of paper out of the video poker game, cashed it in for my winnings, and headed upstairs...

I don't normally consider myself to be lucky, in fact I usually tend to have pretty unfortunate luck... but that night (despite still feeling a little bad about the previous night) I felt a little lucky, afterall, I was a winner... so proud to have won all of $13 from my $2 cash outlay...

*again, another story for another day...
