It was Las Vegas, after all. Well... Henderson. It's right next door. This is the only casino I visited on this trip. We decided to play bingo (I had never played) and this casino had a big bingo parlor. As my cousin warned me: this is not your regular church bingo. Everything is electronic/digital these days. The game plays itself while you sip your complimentary cocktails.
I noticed that most of the casino patrons were seniors. Poor saps. Then I saw myself in a rest-room mirror. Oops. We played. I won squat. But one of my cousins hit a game and the winnings covered her entry and the hour-long session. My other cousin wasn't any luckier than I was. Another woman a few chairs away from us won at least three times. Some people have all the luck!
Is that Green Valley Ranch Casino?
ReplyDeleteMore times than I like to remember, although they did have a good restaurant and movie theatres.
DeleteSomeplace I have a $1 chip from the Flamingo, the one they blew up a couple of weeks ago, from my one conference there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference from what your daily life is at home :)
ReplyDeletemitch, yes! Have you been?
ReplyDeletetravel, I think the hotel they "imploded" last week was the Tropicana.
judy, no kidding!
I don't gamble but an electronic machine is even more of a no-thankyou. I don't like a machine that has to tell me I won.
