I’m posting this the next morning, but this is really Friday’s post
The final score is in. I lost a little bit of money, I saw a little bit of CES, and the rest of the time was better than it has been in years.
We stayed at both the Cosmopolitan and the Mirage. I’m too old for the former, and so I guess it’s the latter for me from now on. Vegas has definitely become a young person’s playground. The emphasis everywhere is clubs and pool parties. Blackjack and roulette. The slots are much quieter than they used to be…
CES was good. I didn’t get back to the emerging tech section like I would have liked too. Also, the partner device that I came to see wasn’t on display. I guess I can’t bail yet (let’s see if Ian is reading 🙂 ). All kidding aside, I do hope that they have it here next year. That would be a nice personal win.
The craps table was good while I shot, and bad otherwise. I threw 9, 6, 9 (win), 9, 9 (win), 11 (win), 11 (win), 7 (win), 8, 8 (win), 10, 9, 7 (out). That’s quite a good roll for me. After me no one hit anything. Oh well. I was happy with the strategy, and it was only my dad’s money anyway 🙂
The bonding is the best part though. Me, my dad, and my uncle – the three boys. We laugh about stupid stuff. Tell stupid stories. And all of a sudden the world doesn’t feel quite so big.
So final scorecard reads – another big win in Vegas
