This, a true story about a
Vegas vacation involving
casino gambling and... a
little more, that must be told
now that I am an adult and
making my own decisions in
life - whether gambling,
casinos or whatever - and with
a need to share this story in
hopes that it brings a smile
to the reader of these words.
I was 15 years old and took
what was called a
“turn-a-round” trip to Las
Vegas, the city with all the
casinos and gambling hotels.
The chartered bus had not been
filled to capacity which was a
requirement in order for the
Las Vegas trip to take place.
I went with a friend whose
Mother had planned the Vegas
trip and she allowed us to go,
as long as we behaved
ourselves and did not get into
any mischief - gambling
included.
We arrived in Las Vegas at
midnight and the temperature
was 100 degrees and no breeze
whatsoever. In other words:
all was normal in Sin-City. We
knew we were in for a good
time. We walked through the
air-conditioned casinos and
played the slots for as long
as we had nickels to play with
but truly enjoyed watching the
adults play Poker, Blackjack,
Craps and other gambling
games. Wanting to play a joke
on my friends, I went and sat
at the casino bar and asked
for a whiskey glass but with
water and ice cubes and when
my friends met me at the bar I
was telling the Bartender a
"sad story". Oh the
look on their faces. We all
had a good laugh as did the
Casino Bartender.
