Sunday 4th Feb.
Plan for the day was to go to the Gamblers general store and take a look around, it didn't look far from the Stratosphere, I was going to do it the night before however a cop I asked said it was full of druggies and gangs at night and there's no way I should attempt to walk there in the dark. Set off from the Strat, thought it felt a bit warm later found out it was 82 degrees Farenheit. What looked a short walk on the map was miles and even in the day it looked really rough, after 30 mins I asked this bloke for directions and he told me to take a left at the lights and it was another 30 mins walk, took a left but thought it wasn't right and after five mins decided to turn around, bloke coming up behind me asked if I was lost and told me I was going the right way in the first place, he then asked for some money to get something to eat. Gave him a dollar and a couple of quarters, I said there you go you can get a bag of crisps. Found the store after another 10 mins and two more beggars, so glad I didn't attempt this the night before, lady in the shop said there getting over run with Mexican immagrants and gangs from California. Got back to the Luxor just as the Superbowl started, interesting how all the neutrals support a side and even buy shirts for that side even though it's not their team. Lots of whooping and high fives going on, played No Limit poker and had my worst beat, playing for a massive pot and with the cards in the middle as follows 5 A Q 9 , I got all my money in with A9 and got called my loose player who showed Q5 last card was a Q so he scooped the $280 pot. Finished the day $150 down but got a $50 Superbowl bonus. Finally ran out of money today so tried to draw some out at the ATM but for the first time in Vegas's history apparantly all the ATM's in the city went down for three hours due to the system being overloaded, cost the casino's loads apparantly.
