Football Sunday is always fun in Las Vegas and today was no exception.
Helen and I enjoyed a breakfast of scrambled eggs that I prepared this morning, then we watched some of the 10 a.m. fb game of the Jets vs. Bills. I had several live parlays and teasers going. Around noon Helen suggested I might enjoy the games more at the Red Rock Casino, so I headed over there - tickets in hand.
The crowd at the Red Rock was lively and loud. There were 8 different games shown on the TVs and big screens in the sports book, but it wasn't easy to find a seat. Finally I settled in and watched the Packers game, since it was part of a 3-team parlay that would have paid $300.
Some three hours later, I had one winning ticket that will pay me $60 when I cash it. It's a teaser of Saints +9, Lions +24, 49ers +13 and Jets -2.
On the way home from the casino, I stopped at our nearby library and picked up a Janet Evanovich book for Helen (Lean, Mean Thirteen) and two books for me - a Mike Royko biography and a book of short stories by Hunter S. Thompson that includes Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We did a lot of reading last year in LV and will probably get into the habit again this year.
Tonight I'm grilling up some hotdogs with some baked beans for dinner. Pretty classy dining in LV, huh?
The adventure continues tomorrow...
