Party Time

A few weeks ago for Vayla's 21st birthday we decided to have a little party in mesquite. I mean come on turning 21 is kind of a big deal. We got quite a big group of friends and headed down. We grabbed dinner at pizza hut. Then we made our was over the Eurkea to play some Bingo!!
Stef has become quite the fan of Bingo, and insisted that we go play. Not really my thing, but with my group  of friends its impossible not to have a good time. 

I really just wanted to play the tables!! I dont know why maybe because of the movie 21 or the fact that I am now old enough but I wanted to play black jack. At this point in the night we had made our way over to the Casa Blanca hotel. Not everyone wanted to play so we split up. Me and Trum a good friend of mine just started wondering around the casino watching other people play, and basically just looking for a open table. We finally found a table where we had recognized some other people who had joined us that night. Once there was an opening I sat down. It was so nerve racking keep in mind I have never done anything like this before. I decided I can only spend 20 dollars, and just see what happens. I handed my twenty dollars to the dealer and began to play. For anyone who has every played before will get the idea, but I was not lucky for the first little bit at all. I kept getting dealt really low numbers such as 2,3,4's which the idea is to get 21. Anyway I ended up running out of money fast so of course I was a little bugged, but I was not losing any more money. Well I happed to make friends with the gentlemen sitting next me...Alan turns out he was in mesquite for a golf tournament so since I work for a golf course it sparked a good coversation topic. Well he was just racking up the money in chips so when I ran out he pushed probably about 40 dollars in chips in my direction. I know it was really nice of him. Well you see he was quite the black jack player so from that point on he would alway give me advice like whether to hit or stay. At this point in time I was starting to get dealt higher cards. Anyway after we played for a little while we decided it was time to call it quits. I go to give the chips back to my good buddy Alan he just turns to me and says "cash out and get the hell out of here." Thats exactly what I need I calcuated the money in chips and cashed out!! Turns out I ended up with 85 dollars!! After taking out the 20 dollars I already spent I ended up pocketing 65 dollars. Not bad if I say so myself so needless to say it was a blast, and I loved every second.
Dont worry it wont become a habit.
