So if the first night in Vegas is always bad, then how does the second night go? Not much better usually. Hey, I guess that’s not totally true. There is no other night outside the first night that sticks out as really bad like that first night. So it’s not memorably bad; it’s not memorably good either. Let’s just see what happens shall we.
At the end of the first night, I found myself sitting at the bar playing video poker. Besides the fact I won money, I really liked it; is this another sign of getting old? I would much rather be playing real live poker, but because we’re off the strip, and the poker room at Rio is closed, and I refuse to pay a cab back and forth from the strip, it looks like this trip will come and go without it; that sucks. So video poker is the next best thing? I will get my poker fix in somehow. The nice thing about sitting at the bar is that you get to BS with people. The bartender from the previous night told me a little trick that I had been using successfully. Not only did he recommend the best game to play, but he showed me this other game playing feature called ‘double up’. So every hand you win, you can double it by beating the dealers high card, by selecting one of the four available cards. He recommended that I only do it on small wins and especially when there have been low cards in that first position. Maybe this has always been available, maybe not, but it increased my love for the game.

The bartender was really busy on night 2, but I had no shortage of people to talk to. On one side of me sat a waitress who just got off her shift; on the other side, was a guy who just went through a divorce. Yes, it was only a combination of those two for the next 2-3 hours, but it was enough. Plus, I was finally able to smoke a cigar. I had wanted to the night before, but the gift shop was closed and there were no options to purchase one. What ever happened to those girls walking around asking the question “Cigars, cigarettes, cigarillos”. I miss them. Over the years I really never bought much from them, but now I want to, and they’re gone. I guess it’s true when they say you don’t really know what you got until it’s gone…
So yeah, a cool bartender, people to BS with, smoking my cigar, getting free beers on a timely basis, playing at my own pace, making $20 last 2-3 hours, I call that a pretty successful 2nd night. Yes, I didn’t hit the big one; well, I did pull 4 queens which help me last…. But the fact that I only lost $20 for a nice night of gambling, made me pretty happy. Maybe that seems like a pretty low bar of happiness, but it works for me. What else has been going on?
