Went to that den of iniquity Ilani last night, to the "Land That Hope Forgot."

The traffic on the freeways was much heavier than usual, but then it's a holiday weekend.

The casino parking lots had more cars than usual: while not packed the shithole was busier than usual.

I didn't stay too long.

Walked past the baccarat pit, got free coffee then angled off to the one dollar non-Mega Meltdown bank of machines i often start my play at.

Ouch...down about fifty: no respins, no decent hits at all, and fuck me but "No joy."

Bah.

Chastened, I slithered off to the bank of five dollar non-Mega Meltdown slots located just outside of the High Limit room.

Only played a couple minutes; up, down, then *bam*...oh my... I hit three triple bars on a fifteen dollar bet.

Ka-ching.

Cashed out, wandered over into the high limit room to see what's new, and there is something interesting: a bank of I believe four three-reel Wheel of Fortune $25 machines: Intriguing, but I stiffened my backbone and exited that abattoir and sashayed to the food court where I redeemed my food comp for two nice sized chopped salads at Italia.

I'll eat one for lunch today.

+$680.00 for the day.

"Luck happens" as they say at Spirit Mtn.
