Today was a much more relaxed Vegas day, which basically means we only lost track of time twice instead of six times.
We took it easy in the morning, then eventually wandered off to breakfast around lunchtime, because apparently Vegas operates on its own time zone where breakfast at noon is completely acceptable behavior.
After that, we headed downtown to the casinos. The gambling gods finally threw me a small bone when I hit four 4’s on the poker machine. It wasn’t exactly “buy a private island” money, but it was enough to briefly make me feel a bit better before the table games reminded me who was really in charge.
The tables, unfortunately, were about as friendly as airport security.
Sports betting, however, was a different story. Vegas covered the ½ goal and won by one goal, and OKC covered the 6½ points by winning by 13. For one glorious evening, my picks were smarter than my Pai Gow decisions.
Dinner was excellent, and afterward it was back to the hotel to finally get some sleep.
The funny thing about Vegas is you can feel completely exhausted, look at the clock, and realize people back home have been asleep for many hours. On Eastern Time, it is 1:00 in the morning. My body currently has no idea what state it’s in, what time zone it’s in, or whether it should be asleep or ordering dinner.
