The first night we were there, I decided to gamble a little bit. I played a little roulette and blackjack but unfortunately didn't win. I think it was a combination of poor strategy and a run of bad luck. I did notice something, though, about myself that is probably characteristic among most people who gamble. After I lost a little bit of money in the beginning, I felt this rush of adrenaline and immediately felt the need to try to win back what I had just lost. This feeling was so strong and I guess I was lucky my friend was with me and that I had brought only a limited amount of cash to spend, because I can only imagine how easy it would have been to gamble more and more (and most likely lose more and more). We really have to try to control ourselves when gambling and not bet more money than we're willing to lose.
Even though I didn't win any money at the tables, the weekend was a blast. On Friday night, me and a couple friends went to Cosmopolitan's club Marquee and that was a really fun experience. I don't usually go clubbing (I'm not the best dancer haha), but I danced had a good time. We all stayed in a tower suite with an additional adjoining suite at Treasure Island and the rooms were super nice.
We all went to the Wynn buffet on Saturday and the Bellagio buffet on Sunday. Both were quite good, yet the one at the Bellagio was better. There was so much delicious, quality food and I was really excited that we went to both, even though the lines were fairly long to get in.
On Saturday night, my friend Ish and I walked up and down the strip, while everyone else went to The Venetian's club Tao. We saw the Bellagio water show, which was pretty awesome, and walked around many of the other hotels and casinos- Caesar's Palace, Paris, and Bally's. The rest of the trip consisted of some drinking, a little more gambling (free drinks at the tables!), and simply enjoying Vegas. I had a great time and look forward to going back soon.
