A Story that's never been told - and would make Nemer proud of us Yankees: -
We all met in Las Vegas, ostensibly to have a Z convention, but really to meet, do Vegas, and have a good time.
The first full night there, we all went to an "all-you-can-eat buffett", stuffed ourselves, then went to Old Town to do some gambling.
Somehow it got to be about 5 or 6 in the morning, We were in some horseshoe casino, playing blackjack. Ron, Rick, Charlie, Susie, Tina, and myself. We had been there for several hours. We figured we'd oughta either go home, keep gambling, go out for breakfast. one or the other. We had been doing ok at the table (means not down too much), we asked about getting a comp breakfast. The manager or whoever was in charge at 5 in the morning, said that if we played a bit longer, he'd get us a comp breakfast. So, suckers that we were, played a bit longer, our luck turned south, and we left about 6 or 7 AM with 6 complimentary breakfasts, that only cost us a coupla grand combined.
BUT we got even!!! we took lots of extra sausage and bacon at the comp buffett. HAH.
Crawled back to our rooms at the Luxor hotel, it was now 9ish. When I first checked into the hotel, I wondered why they had such thick curtains. At 9 in the morning, on no sleep, I closed these curtains, which mercifully shut out all light, and crashed for enuf hours to attend our "official" Z convention meeting.
thats the story of the "free" breakfast we had in vegas.
tina definitely was from texas, houston area, i think.
ya, Steve and Rosanna, Steve had a job as harbor patrol in San Diego, -rough!
Marion was older texas lady, real fine person, and her boyfriend was a hoot. ya, cowboy hat. larry |
