vegas trip part 1
well what can i say im 22, a mans man... stuff like that.well last Saturday i awoke at 4:20 to catch a ride on a bus destined for Las Vegas.we arrive at a bus stop in the dead of night,and are greeted by a 5 foot 5 older woman who speaks "very" poor english.(ie the Dictator of tour) as im about to sit in the front of the bus, the Dictator commands me to sit in the back of the bus,(im thinking how the hell did she know i was black)...Just kiddin. Turns out im the youngest/only person that speaks fluent english,that and were on an Armenian tour bus. At this point Doom pulled his olive coloured hood over his eyes and ponder that either this trip is gonna be really fun or go really bad as doom passed out. Hours later Doom is awakened by the sound of middle eastern music,and the sight of death valley(ie hottest spot in U.S.)this truly is a modern day caravan thru the desert,moments later Doom passes out. Doom is awakened this time by the Dictator speaking in her native tongue over the P.A.. She was saying something along the lines of Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas as we arrive at an mediocre establishment aptly titled Terrible Casino with a poor wild west theme. As we were all about to exit the bus the Dictator warns us she will be keeping her eyes on us, as she handed out tour name tags, I promptly threw mine away. Doom walk into the Casino with a mere $80 in his decepticon wallet. I've only been to a casino 2wice in my life time and never really made an effort to gamble. This time was different, i came to Vegas to win and to claim victory over this Greedy form of entertainment. Figuring it was a waist of time to play the 1 armed bandits(man versus machine..we all know how that turns out). Knowing that the only real way to make money is to play 21. After i grab a crown and coke. i make my way to a black jack table i notice a Dealer with no neck,thinking this man must be a rube. I lay all 4 of my $20 on the table and the rube gives me a new nickname of A.T.M.. We both chuckled at his delightful joke( but inside i said "this dealer is going down"). To my far right my was sitting my Father and to my Far left sat an unknown man. Now this is the moment i love the most, more than winning,losing,the booze and the women of Vegas. Im dealt 2 queens i figure i should split i even announce it to the whole table. At this point the dealer and my dad advise me not to do so cause my odds of catching an Ace or a face are virtually impossible. Now the dealer turns to the unknown man and asks if i should do it, he gives us the i don't care look(common for patrons in this city)So i double down on both queens and get an Ace .....then for the other queen i get a 10. Pops makes a silly comment and the unknown man retorts to us saying "its better to be lucky than to be good"(turns out hes a pro at the 21). Pops now has an Astonishing look on his face which soon turns to smile and says "Thats my boy". At that exact moment i knew this was infact going to be a good trip. after we left the table our appetites grew for buffet food. Now take a moment and imagine you were in line at buffet,but this is no ordinary buffet.This buffet, is the buffet feature in the movie Vegas Vacation. You know blue is for beef ,yellows for chicken i mean vise versa. As i sat down and notice a Terrible buffet scorecard.Waisting no time i filled it out answering every question properly with the word Terrible. I walked out of that Casino feeling quite the opposite of terrible and $80 wealthier, to think less than 20 hours later my trip would end with strippers and a hangover.
