I loved driving the Corolla. It handled like a dream, it purred making hardly any noise at all, and I had very good visibility. The trip went by fairly quickly with me singing to my music for the 5 hour plus drive. (It’s a good thing I traveled alone.)
The GPS navigator was a god-send. When I have a car of my own I want one.
After checking into my room, (The El Cortez is an old hotel and the rooms reflect this. That said they are clean, and perfectly nice.) I played craps in the Casino downstairs..
Now if you know me you know that dice often hate me. So you might wonder why I selected craps as my limited gambling option.. Easy, I wanted to give a middle finger salute to the fates. I know the dice hate me, so I was out to show them I was not cowed.
I started at the table with a $40 stake. Every time I won, I took the winnings and set them aside. Once the stake was gone, my gaming was finished.
I walked away from the table with $93. A net gain of $53. Do I feel tempted to increase to more? Nope. I’m going to dinner soon and as far as I consider it, the casino is picking up the table for my all-you-can-eat steak experience.
Tomorrow promises to be a busy day.
