Vacation post #1

So, here is the story so far...

Leisurely drive to L'auberge, with Bill Burr and Louis Black keeping me entertained on the way. I arrive at the casino to find a nice room and a set of black jack tables that all say $25 minimum and have sad looking people sitting at them. I soon came to find out why. I had been sitting at the table for a solid hour before I saw a dealer bust. So, I cut my losses and tried some of the slot machines that my friends seem to like so much. I won about $50, then proceeded to give it all back. Nearing dinner time I take a seat at the bar in the Jack Daniel's restaurant, which is currently being run by a bunch of girls I place somewhere between 16 and 19. I have some food, a few drinks, then decide to take another shot at the black jack tables. I encounter no better luck than earlier, and I seriously start to wonder if I am being cheated somehow. I go into the Glo-bar and catch 4 two's on video poker, celebrate with a bud light then go to bed.

Wake up to breakfast via room service, and on a trip like this, I really don't care how much it cost. I enjoyed every bite. I shower, and take a drive out to pick up some essentials that I can't find at the l'sundries store in the casino (dumbest name ever). Just after getting parked, I found a brand new iPhone laying on the ground by the car next to me. I decide it would be better to bring it in to the store than to leave it to be run over. I give it to the manager of the store, who apparently calls the last number dialed, finds the owner, and they are grateful. I have done my good dead for the day.

Return to hit pool side with my e-book reader (thanks, Dad!). Here I encounter an assortment of people that have all been drinking for some time now (my watch says it's just after noon). After a bit of conversation and a lot of sun, I decide to head in around 3.

More to come, but I really have to finish packing and head to NOLA.
