- Although I really was only just getting to know Dave, and I hardly knew Phil at all, we decided to go to Vegas one weekend. I drove my Jetta for the first and only time.
- We were just about to leave the Stardust to go play at Caesars when I said to Dave and Phil, "Hold up." I went to the crap table and placed the six and eight for $6.00 each. The shooter, who never did make his point of ten, proceeded to throw an amazing number of sixes and eights. I started pressing them and betting the hardways and making bets for the dealers. I ended up cashing out for $150.00. Not bad for a $12.00 investment and about five minutes of play.*
- Phil wasn't 21 yet, so he didn't shave for a couple of days in order to look older. He had no problem in the casinos. In fact, he rolled such a good craps hand at Caesars that he got a round of applause afterward.
- While at Caesars Dave got pretty drunk and insisted that he wanted to tell a particular cocktail waitress that she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. I'm not sure what his motivation was, but I managed to talk him out of it.
- By the last night of our trip we were all losers, so we decided to buy beer and donuts. We went back to our room to enjoy our feast, and Dave decided to call one of the numbers listed in the "Entertainment" section of the yellow pages. He asked about rates, and the woman said that a stripper would come to your room and perform for, like, $50.00 per half hour. Then Dave said something like, "And as far as sexual activity goes...," and the woman immediately cut him off and told him that prostitution, although legal in some parts of Nevada, was not legal in the city of Las Vegas. All in all, the phone call amounted to a pretty good night of jollies for three guys sitting around in their underwear eating donuts and drinking beer.
*Immediately prior to this win, I got a cash advance on my credit card for around $200.00, thus proving my theory that you always win right after getting a cash advance.
