World Series of Beer Pong 7 - Before |
I made my way to the Bellagio because it was kind of across the street. I had spent all of my allotted money for the day at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon. It was at the Bellagio on this night when I had the most fun of this entire trip (no offense to my friends of course). First I played this Rock N Roll slot machine that played music while the reels spun or when you won money. It was right next to the buffet line so I caused a scene by headbanging and throwing up the rock sign. Next I slapped my ass and danced around after winning $30 on Pirate slots. I was creating a real spectacle of myself but then was taken aback (and was dumbstruck) by the Ghostbusters slot machine. It is my favorite movie of all time so I was trapped by nostalgia. Scenes and images from the movie filled the screen and the music blared from the headrest behind me. For a few minutes I was enraptured by my childhood returning so much to the point that I didn't realize that I was losing money. Damn you Las Vegas! |
I left all my money in the hotel room except for like $40, which I lost at Bill's. I took out some money from the ATM machine to gamble at Bellagio and I brought myself back to even on Rock N Roll and Pirates. I was planning on leaving even but then lost all I won at Bellagio on the Ghostbusters machine. Damn you nostalgia. For some reason unbeknownst to me (because I hate American Idol) I sat down at this machine and started to play. And I sat there for over 2 hours and I kept winning. There were 4 of us playing and if one person hits the bonus, everyone gets to play. And sometimes the bonus just starts randomly. Outside of the bonus game I won like $150 on one spin (it was a penny slot) by getting a shitload of Ellen DeGeneres pictures and from there on I was betting $6 a spin. I was playing with house money a getting really drunk on backpack rum (my stash I brought with me) and as many 7 & 7's as the drink girl would bring me. For a more detailed account of what happened check out my blog for some pretty interesting Tweets. I ended up walking away up $250 and drunk as shit. Maybe this could be a good trip. |
If you had watched my video that I filmed the night before I left "hyping" up this trip and the amount of coverage I was going to provide on the Pookon Network, then you would know how sick I was. That didn't go away once I got here. But even though my stomach wasn't allowing me to eat food I still tried to make the most of my time out here and walked around the neighborhood. Even though I claim to not like this joint I sure manage to find myself out and about town checking out some of the same old things I've seen many times. Las Vegas. Hell of a town. |
I'll admit I wasn't that happy to be here. I'm way past my prime as far as beer pong goes and to top it off I was stomach sick so that made eating or drinking anything repulsive. I wasn't looking forward to the next couple of days, but I had already committed to being here. |
Coach Bombay wanted to stow away in my backpack and join me in Las Vegas. And why not? They're trying to make it family friendly and he is my family. I would have taken him along but families don't belong in Las Vegas. There's too much evil in that decrepit place. |
I got into Vegas around noon local time and it took forever to get from the Airport to the hotel. I bummed around the hotel a bit until my room and then admired the view from my room. I was so glad I would be able to see drug deals go down on the parking lot roof again like last year. After laying around for a bit (remember I was sick) I decided to go and check stuff out before Kevin, Sara and Hummel got in around 11pm local time. I went and bought a bottle of rum at the liquor store then gambled for about an hour at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon. I paid like $30 for "free" drinks while I was gambling then decided to walk around a bit more. That's where I saw this bum with a funny sign. I gave him $1. Even though this scheme has been done a thousand times, I still find it funny because it cuts through the bullshit. That's all I ever ask. |
