Casino night

I went out to the casino tonight.  I know I said I wouldn't, but I decided to take the opportunity to gample abroad.
You see, tonight was my first night of casino gambling of legal age.
I had fun.  Played the slots, spinning wheel, and blackjack.  My money went up and down.  My biggest win was 10x on $500 at the spinning wheel.  I played around until I was down to my last $500 chip, and my $30 voucher from the slot machine (totally electronic, no coin return).  I cashed in and left.  Following my tradition, that $500 coin will become a keepsake, money that the house will never get back.
I started that tradition when I was on a family vacation to Las Vegas in 2003.  I found a nickel on the floor of The Venetian casino and resolved that they would never get it back.  I made a necklace out of it.
I can stay in this town two more nights.  There's a rodeo Saturday and I really want to see one.  Sunday will be a tight day of travelling back to Santiago for Iron Maiden that night.  I can take a bus direct to sasntiago from here, rather that changing buses and trains like my trip in.
