OT: Back from Vegas with....

**Psycho Ward** · 02-14-2006, 06:09 AM

Of my 22 years of touring at least two weeks of every year were spent in Vegas, Tahoe or Reno or a combination of all. I’m not a gambler, I’m a player… not that kind, but a guy that likes to play the games. My goal was not to see how much money I won or lost, but how long I could play on the allotted money I chose to entertain myself with.

My usual daily amount was two bucks, that’s two measly little dollars…. A day! Some days that bought two minutes at the nickel poker machines, some days I played for hours and hours. It was always funny to load up on the bus after a couple of weeks playing the gig and all the other band guys were in hoc up to their ass to the artist, some boys were broke for weeks.

I would gamble my winnings but stop at my two dollar of my money limit. I once came out of Reno with 125.00 to the good and that was after I was up almost five hundred dollars and all from two dollars a day.

Funny looking money. Is that from a board game?

Now that's what I call money!

I hate how the amreican bills all look the same, and I end up thinking I've got a couple of hundred when all I have is $17.

That's why we Americans learn to count.

Color coded money is pretty however.

That's the kind of thinking that gets you in big trouble.

Salesman: That Bass will be 1150.00.

Customer: So that's eleven green and one yellow?

All I ever seem to come back from Vegas with is empty pockets.

well done. you have passed australian currency 101.

yeah i think we are probably meant to know who the significant people are on them but... well...

they are designed so intricately though, the colour and the design, makes em harder to forge. oh and the clear security bit.

i like the $100 as well gav. the 10 looks the best though i reckon

The thing that disappointed me his how crappy LV has become...nobody dresses in anything but ripped jeans and t-shirts there anymore. It's like going to frigging Disneyland now. People are just slobs.

Come up here to Foxwoods (largest volume casino in USA) or Mohegan Sun ---- Lots of suits
