I wish I'd get free ribs when I just play slots!


I can walk about 20 feet and get free Coke myself, but damn it'd be nice if they'd bring it right to the machine. The servers are walking around with drinks and stuff all the time but I'm afraid they'd obligate me into a tip. My preferred casino has a pizza place just outside the entrance and I've seen people with pizza boxes inside so I assume I could bring it in. There's even a place called DeliLux you can go to without leaving the gaming area, but I'm cheap and never wanna get anything. What's tempting too is they have a Burger King right next to the pizza place and I'm not sure if they upcharge because of the venue, but even if they do it almost seems like the flavor will sometimes go up when you know you spent more for something! Bacon and a Coke, Barq's Root Beer, or Cherry Coke sounds glorious. And again I wonder if they'd let you bring a bag of burgers upstairs to play Triple Diamond! I like using the older style machines. Some of that digital crap doesn't even have a lever.

I cite this film with my rising interest in going out there even more than really obvious films like Ocean's Eleven and Casino. They captured the very essence of the lighting. Oddly enough when I'm at the casino I reminisce about the dingy feeling I get while watching that movie, not the other way around. They did THAT good of a job creating the environment.

I'm not trying to insult the nightlife community or anything, I'm just not a smoker so I notice that stuff. And because I go really late at night I'm always there when they're cleaning carpets, emptying machines, and changing out trash bags. Couple that with usually going on Tuesday nights because often I get the middle of the week off before and after working the weekend. So you end up with like a twice as dead environment. Not that nobody's there, it's just a low energy crowd I guess you could say. Because come on, it's Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

Ah, I can't stop rambling about this.
