Holy shit. . .Oakland>Las Vegas>Oakland in 24 hours is a long haul. . .great to hang out with my man from Atlanta, Sam G., but now I need some serious sleep, as the "up til 6am routine" that defines the Vegas experience has kicked my ass.
Strip club of note: Treasures.
They spent nearly $30 million to build the place, but it's so fucking dark you can't really tell if there are girls on stage, or animatronics ala Chucky Cheese. Plus, you'd think they'd have more than one main stage. . .ah well. ..learned a helluva lot about the "stripper circuit" and boob jobs from a couple of very nice Treasures girls. Every industry has its caste system, it would seem.
Las Vegas: pretty fun, but I'd slit my wrists inside of 72 hours if I had to live in that hell hole.
Oh, did I gamble? For ten minutes at the Hard Rock. Result: Up $150 in blackjack.. . then a quickflip $25 on roulette. . .nothing to brag about, but roulette. . that game is something addictive. . thanks to Pascal for inventing it . . . really. . .there's something almost mythic about the roulette wheel. For starters, there's the obvious 'wheel of fate' or samsara connection, but then there are other, deeper connections between the roulette wheel and basic human nature. . .i don't know what the fuck they are, but staring at the redblackredblackspinredblack in a tequila stupor convinced me that I had stumbled upon one of the great mysteries explained. . . by Pascal. . .but to date I'm simply too dense to grasp it. Anyone else clue me in?

I completely suck at gambling. I never win anything. So I try to stay clear of Vegas because I love to gamble.
