"Excuse me sir.. I need to escort you to the door" said the woman in black who magically appeared behind me, seemingly out nowhere.
"waaa..wha'd I do?" said I "is there a problem?"
"Your camera sir.." she said just above a whisper. "You are not allowed to have cameras in the casino. We've been watching you on surveillance and now I need to escort you to the door."
..and as we walked to and stood in the foyer by the entrance, I stopped and asked the unsmiling lady in black "I don't see the sign that says 'no cameras allowed' ?".
A quick glance around by her and she returns "well there aren't any signs, but no cameras are allowed in any of the casinos"..
"oh" I said .. "I guess everyone somehow knows this by some kind of mental osmosis.. that we are to leave our cameras in the car."
no response.
ooooh.. burned again! hahahaaa..
Actually I knew quite well that cameras were not allowed in Iowa casinos... but I have come to enjoy the mild adrenaline tension that occurs when on occasion we are feeling mischievous, Patti and I will bend the "THE RULES" of how-we-must- behave-ourselves.
So yes.. I did carry my camera into the casino.. strapped over my shoulder and hanging between my waist and arm. I did not hide it in the true sense of the word.. but heheh..I didn't exactly wave it around either.
I got off 3 sneaky shots of the inside of the casino before the woman-in-black enveloped me with.. The Rules.. and her escorting me to the door. (I then walked my camera to the car, returned to the casino and lost 6 dollars worth of nickels to the slots. Penance for being a really bad boy).
I wanted to get a pic of "Fast Patti" at the Blackjack table but the Powers-that-be trumped me before I could record her breaking the bank.. (we won't ask how much SHE lost..Hahah.. )
well, next year I'll try it again.
