Last year, I had a short business trip to Las Vegas for some meetings and a big client dinner. I arrived late Wednesday night, and was flying back home to the Midwest early Friday morning with a full day of meetings and the aforementioned dinner sandwiched in between.
On Thursday, got back to the Aria at around 11pm after a loooong dinner and a couple (or maybe 9) whiskey gingers. I had an 8am flight Friday morning to make sure I arrived home early enough, with the long flight and two hour time change, to spend some time with my wife and kids.
Buzzing on adrenaline from a successful day of meetings and buzzing even more so on whiskey, I decided I would hit the blackjack tables to unwind a bit before I called it a night. Shockingly to me, the Aria actually had $10 tables available for low budget players like myself.
