Not necessarily better, but nonetheless delicious. Margarita is my go to drink unless I’m on vacation. Then I like to try different drinks.

very sour. I don’t order sour drinks. I guess people like them though because they do exist. Occasionally I have a taste for a sour patch kid, but not often.

[Saint Greg]

Guess I’ll see if anything is happening at the casino.

All the times I’ve been here I haven’t used the bathroom yet. I knew it was around a particular corner. I didn’t realize it was downstairs. I almost busted it.

There were a bunch of people around one table. I walk up. It’s only two players. Out of etiquette I wait until the shuffle. But it also gives me a chance to size up the players. One player left quick. I could jump in at that point and the game not miss a beat but something told me the other guy didn’t know what he as doing. In retrospect I would’ve jumped In because he had three friends telling him what to do. He got on a bad streak and quit so now nobody is playing. I think I’ll head to another bar then come back.

[Saint Greg]

Wait we for action

This is so stupid. Im sitting at the mall bar. He is helping the more aggressive walk ups.‘finally I get to order.. I order. He tells

me put a mask on. Then proceeds to process orders of people who just walked up. I have been sitting here 5-10 mins.  Finally he comes back to me. I repeat my order and ask do I have to put my mask on between sips? Or am I expected to take the drink and leave? If its take the drink and leave they should remove the barstools. He says if you’re drinking here no mask. It’s ridiculous.

After this I’ll check out the casino then head to one of the lobby bars. It’s hot as heck out here. And it was hot in the casino. Usually casinos keep it colder. Kept the oxygen flowing.

[Saint Greg]

Oh I didn’t mention the casino part. A couple sits down. I pounce. I lose 50. We go to a shuffle. They walk off. Shuffle competes. Just me. I ask if he thinks they’re gone. He says yes. I say I don’t play alone and color up. I head to the bathroom. When i come back he is playing alone. She is watching. I sit back and watch him lose everything then I leave.

I had a couple of opportunities tonight to come out ahead for the trip and had a hard time leaving the table. At one point I got all the way down to $6 and I built that back up to over 200. Then lost a lot. Then got some back. In the end I’m going to come out down 90 on the trip which isn’t bad for all of the entertainment I got and there are some dealer tips that would knock that way down. 
 

It’s the most ridiculous casino though. First there’s the tax thing. Then tonight. Like randomly an hour ago he got on this thing that you have to wear a mask at the table. Haven’t had to do that all week.

 

The ac is horrible. Worse tonight. We were sweating in there. I think that’s why they use the door open. 
 

they do random table fills that make no sense. At one point tonight they did a $5 table fill. One red chip. Then like 30 minutes later they did one black chip. Nobody had taken a black off of the table but they had to put one on…just one. Weird.

the flash went off when I took This pic. The driver looked back at me. I was like “what? What happened?” He was already in a bad mood it seemed. When I got on the bus I asked if he was going to riviera and he just ignored me. I knew it was because the last one wasn’t but it’s just become a habit to ask ever since the time I got stuck on one that wasn’t going there.

He was cleaning between the tiles

Not much going on in the lobby on a Sunday. They have music but not many people

I left my wet ones out to dry on the table and almost made it rain on the swimout below me.

Welcome to the club.  Every gambler can relate.  Not bad at all, though.  

[Saint Greg]

Good morning. Ive been up for an hour now getting everything ready. 

[Saint Greg]

Chicken chimichangas and mushroom empanadas.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

This looks a lot different than what they gave

me the other day.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

And tastes more like it.

At the table last night a lady staying at my resort brought up the pool bar mask thing. How ridiculous it is that at the pool bar your down need a mask but on the dry side you do. It is ridiculous.

I did win my weekly fantasy baseball match and move into 1st place after a 1-3 start having missed the draft.
