How To Be A Winner In Vegas....
After watching the old ladies attached to machines endlessly (no joke, we have spotted some actually attached via a wire, we have no idea why but maybe it's in case they fall off their stalls from sleep deprivation!), we decided to have a go ourselves.
First we tried the slot machines. Chris looked a little bewildered so I fed a couple of dollars into the slot of a brightly coloured machine for him, and asked him to press the magic button. After about 3 seconds there was a lot of flashing and beeping the credits screen flashed zero. He turned to me and asked all innocently "What just happenned there then?", so I explanned that he had quickly become a looser!
We decided to extend our fun by playing the five cent machines, and got quite into it. When Chris came back from the rest rooms he found me stooped over the machine, dribbling with a dumb look on my face, with one erect index finger seemingly stuck in a repeptitive loop pressing the spin button.
After loosing a small backpacker fortune we decided to try roulette at the Bellagio. As soon as we joinned the roulette table we instantly had to leave, as we had bet a big backpackers fortune on red...black came up.
Over the night we had lost seventy dollars and were feeling broke and pathetic. But suddenly logic prevailed. For those of you who don't know, drinks in Vegas are FREE! (As long as you are gambling, or in our case very very slowly inserting one cent coins while waiting for the waitress). So we calculated that whilst we had lost seventy dollars, Chris had managed to drink his way through fifty dollars worth of booze! Which meant that we were only down by 20 dollars and had a whole evening of entertainment.
So the moral of the story is: the only way to be a winner in Vegas is to drink more than you gamble. And that's VEGAS LOGIC BABY!
