Some 20 years ago, I personally put on a display at the old EL RANCHO in Vegas that is still talked about by some inner circle of posters here at the RX.
I stopped in at approximently 5pm one evening with my buddy Kyhawk just to play roulette for a few bucks and snag a couple free drinks for each of us.
To make a long story short, I didnt leave that table until 9 o'clock.......the next morning!!
I sat there and played roulette and drank for 16 hours!!
I can only remember bits of pieces of the evening.
I remember on NUMEROUS occassions, everytime a new dealer would come to the table, I would put $500 on black and $500 on red.........and the dealer would be stunned. I would tell them it was to see how lucky you are for me.
Understand, the best scenario with this is that I breakeven and if God forbid a 0 or 00 appear, I would be out $1,000.
I dont recall ever losing one of these the entire night.
In the wee hours of the morning, I was virtually the ONLY person in the entire casino playing a table game............I had like 3 pit bosses watching me play roulette. LMFAO. I am sure I was quite loud. But wtf, there was nbody in the joint.
Remember one time falling backwards and lying on the floor after a tough beat and just laying there until the pit boss told me to get up.....sort of like the Nick Cage move in the movie LEAVING LAS VEGAS.
Well, I must have had well over 30 beers by the time my little fiasco was over and I had lost about $1,200.
I remember walking out of the casino and feeling the heat of the sun. Asked a tourist what time it was and they said 9 o'clock and I thought to myself it sure stays bright out late here in Vegas
.........thinking it was 9pm and not 9am!
Got back to the Frontier hotel where I was staying at and ordered a $30 breakfast that consisted of 6 eggs, a pound of hash browns, 2 lbs of bacon, and a gallon of iced tea and whatever else( I ordered three breakfast platters).
Got my composure together and went downstairs and bet a dime on some game to recoup my losses.........and it won as I recall.
Long night in Vegas as a young lad.
