Day Nine...

The people that are complaining that my journal is too long and don't want to read it because of that can take heart... today's isn't all that impressive. We didn't do a hell of a lot today.
After we woke up, we sat around the hotel room and watched some TV. When it was getting close to supper time, we got ready and went to the Gold Coast casino. One of Jimmie's friends had recommended that buffet. Seeing as we hadn't done a buffet since we got here, we went to that one. Impressive. It was called Ports 'O Call and had like 5 different styles of food. Southern US - with shrimp (two ways), catfish, jambalaya, etc. Mongolian, Chinese, Mexican, British, and Italian. Hmmm... that's 6. A huge salad bar with leafy salads on one side and pre-made creamy ones on the other side. The dessert part was about as big as some buffet places I've gone to. Many, many different kinds of pies. I was only able to try three (and a cookie) before I was too full to move. By the time we left there, both of us could barely move. We were tempted to go back to the hotel room and sleep it off. But we didn't.
The Frontier had female mud wrestling on at 10pm. We drove over to the Frontier's parking lot and parked (Exciting eh?). That's where we slept. Heheh... it wasn't a matter of choice, our bodies just shut off. I normally can't sleep in the car (unless I'm driving), but I went out like a light. We woke up in plenty of time to go to Gilley's (the country bar). By the time we got there, the place was already full of people and there was no place to sit. We shared a table with these two older ladies (Sharon and Peggy) and waited for 10pm. The cocktail waitresses looked fantastic except they never once stopped and asked if we'd like anything to drink. When it came time for the mud wrestling, a band came on instead. Big Fat Zero - a very descriptive name and quite apt. They sounded like every other rock bar band out there. The only thing that stood out was that they were quite loud. Far too loud for that size of a venue. They seemed to go on forever. The mud wrestling didn't start until 11pm. The mud was nice and it coated the ladies quite nicely. The Miller Lite girl that was doing the round number walk-around, was by far the best looking though. There was this scrappy little thing from Las Vegas that I think should have won, but it went to this other girl from Las Vegas. Oh well. It was entertaining, but I don't think it was quite worth the $10 cover charge. We left the Frontier when Big Fat Zero went back on stage. We weren't the only ones either... 3/4 of the bar cleared out. :) That has to be a real confidence booster for the band members.
We drove down the Strip a little bit and hit the rest of the casinos that we hadn't gone to. None of them really stood out except for the Riviera. Where we went to get the dollar coin, there was a machine that was being played by three people. It turned out to be quite fun. We played it for a bit, getting up some 10-12 bucks, then losing it all again. Oh well, it only cost a buck and we had like 20 minutes of play.
We came back to the El Cortez for breakfast (I don't know where I put it) where I had 7 glasses of water. I was so parched. After breakfast we came back to the room where I added another 7 dollar coins to my collection. Over 40 of them now. I went to sleep first this time as Jimmie watched TV.
