Last Day In Vegas.

Yesterday Leeroy and I went our seperate ways, he wanted to spend 400 bucks each on a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon and I didn't want to spend that much so he went flying and I bought some shirts. We arranged to meet at 7PM because we had tickets to see Rita Rudner that night.

I decided to have an easy day so about 11:30 I went down to the American Cafe in the casino for Breakfast and ordered ham and eggs. In Australia a dinner plate is a pretty standard size but the dinner plates here are three quarters as big again, more like a cheese platter. I got this piece of leg ham that covered the entire huge dinner plate. It was off the bone leg ham so I'd hate to run into the fuken pig they took it off. Two poached eggs in a little bowl and a heap of hash browns piled on top of the ham. I love eating but I could only eat half the ham, the eggs and I left the hash browns.

I jumped in the car and went looking for a Walmart that I had seen before but couldn't find it but found a Target so I bought some shirts.

I was getting in the car in the carport when I was approached by this young guy with a Pizza Hut ID hanging around his neck and he aske e for 35 cents so he could catch the bus to work. I had noticed him when I first drove in approaching people and I saw one LOL give him a note.

So I just looked at him as if I didnt understand English and he started with his speil about how he was working at Pizza Hut and was 35 cents short of the bus fare and then he said how embarrasing it was for him to have to ask for money for bus far. Well, the cunt led with his chin didn't he. So I said "You're embarrased? How do you think I feel as a visitor to this country to have beggars approach me on the street and tell lies about wanting bus fare. If you don't have a job, do a black jack course and become a dealer. There are ads all over Vegas" I must admit this was all said in a rather loud voice and I guess I was a little annimate. After he slunk away a fellow shopper said to me You Aussies dont like panhandlers much do you?

The only understated American I have met since I've been here.

I got back to the casino about 3PM and put 10 bucks in a machine that had a cute yong waitress hovering around it and played on that money till 7:30. I was ordering 2 scotch and cokes at a time and giving her $1 tip for the two drinks. I had 8 scotches by the time it was time to meet Leeroy and I still had my 10 bucks in the machine.

Rita Rudner was great, she is a very funny, stylish woman and we both had a good time.

After the show we went out to have a few more free drinks and met Juan the mexican. he didn't speak much English and we spoke no spanish so communication was by concentrating on his words and working out roughly what he was saying.

Leeroy was telling him what a great place Australia is and how he should come to visit. Juan said to Leeroy that he could stay with him when he came to Australia. Me being the cunt that I am said that I had a great place at Villawood with razor wire where he could stay for as long as he wanted and if he played his cards right the Government would even send hime home after his stay.

Juan was a nice bloke and we got a bit pissed together and decided to go to The Luxor casino. It was about 1AM and I hadn't eaten since my huge ham breakfast so we decided to shout Juan a burger and a beer. We were chatting away in our Spenglish and I was trying to explain something to Juan when I noticed that the waitress was Mexican. So I asked her to tranlate. The first thing Juan said was that we were taking him to Australia in 3 days. I felt like a complete cunt and got the waitress to explain that there must have been a missing translation somewhere and that we couldnt take him to Australia. Poor barstard, we both felt really bad about the way we had been talking and sobered up real quick. He understood and it all ended ok but we both felt pretty bad about the whole thing.

I forgot to tell you that on the way to The Luxor, Leeroy and Juan were ahead and a verry attractive young lady and I started chatting and from her body language I'm thinking I'm set here. We walked along together chatting for about 5 minutes when she said that she thought I looked like I needed some professional friendship. I said you mean you charge for it? and she agreed. I thought it was bloody ffabulous and said I wa sorry but couldnt afford her. Shit she really fooled me. Here I was thinking I was a dead set cert and all she was doing was putting in the ground work. I love Vegas....

I got to bed about 2 AM.

I am writing this about 9:30AM local time and today is our last day in Vegas. I'll tell ya tommorow what we get up to.
