First night,we walked around the hotel- the casino, the pools, the places to eat...we were having a great time. The boys both brought their suits and I brought two new dresses- after all, we wanted to be all snazzed up! The first night was pretty uneventful- well compared to the second night! I toyed around with a few slots and (surprise!) had no success. I decided to finally sit down at this princess-themed machine. Honestly, I picked it because it had the word princess in it (this is coming from a girl that likes the Miami Dolphins because their mascot is a dolphin and they have cute colors, haha) and I thought, "Ehh, what the heck!" I pushed a bunch of buttons at random (yeah, professional gambler's technique right here) until all of a sudden the machine started flashing and playing music...and making a continuous ka-ching noise. The dollar value on the screen kept going up until I reached 147 dollars! I know it's no jackpot compared to the amounts people win at the tables, but still! I only paid 5 dollars to play and I'd never won anything before. I was pretty stoked! (Side note- on night number two, I won 12 dollars off of a different princess-themed machine. Hmmm...)
Second night. Oh boy. Tonight I was wearing a black and mint-green high to low dress w/ matching jewelry and peep toe wedges. Not to brag, (I promise, it's vital to the story) but I was getting compliments out the wazoo. "Love that necklace!" a lady said to me when I sat down to scarf down pizza and wings. "You look adorable, oh my gosh," said a college-aged girl when I was leaving the bathroom. "Where did you get your shoes?" asked a lady while I was waiting for the elevator. Needless to say, I was feeling pretty confident about myself.
Well, my new, not-broken-in wedges were getting the best of me while in the casino, so I decided to sit at a blackjack table that wasn't in use. Another lady came up to me and exclaimed, "I LOVE YOUR DRESS! It reminds me of something my daughter would wear!" I thanked her, and watched her walk off, thinking nothing of it except that I was flattered. Of course, security told us that we could sit anywhere around the slots, but not the empty tables, so we moved over to continue resting at the slot machines. I just barely sat down at the slots, only to hear, "HEY, IT'S MINT GREEN!" I turned to look behind me, and there was the lady to had complimented me just moments before.
Obviously this lady had a bit too much to drink. I stood up to greet her again when she grabbed my face and kissed my cheeks. She asked me to come over to the machine she was playing and hit the buttons. I did, and the machine started dinging. Not in a winning way, but that's just the sound the machine made. But this woman was convinced that I was her good luck charm. She kept kissing me and suddenly grabbed me and pulled me onto her lap. Yes, I was sitting on this woman's lap. Needless to say, the boys were highly amused. She grabbed my hand and made me hit all of these buttons, just wasting the money she had put into the machines. It was when she started to grab my leg that I had it and jumped up and we said we were OUT (note- I think it was around this point that she rubbed the bald business man's head that sat down at the slot beside her, haha). She suddenly turned on us and told us to scram...but then sweetly added to come back to her if we needed more money. Oy vey.
We definitely had a fun (and eventful) vacation. Until next time, AC!
