Tunica Part 2: The Casino

After our driving adventure, we made it to the casinos where they thoroughly checked each of our id's. Each time they told us, "yal barely made it." Chris headed for the roulette table and Nick, KEllie and I followed. Chris won his first hand and they immeditalely ided us again. After awhile Chris lost his money and we decided to go meet up with our friend Crady. When we got there, Kellie decided she wanted to gamble. I went with her and she got me a free beer. Kellie started gambling and I started up a conversation with the lady next to her. I asked her how much money she had lost, she said about $300 dollars. I told her she should have invested her money into a mutual fund. She just kinda stared at me. After Kellie lost her money we found everyone else. Im not really sure where everyone else was, I was quite drunk. The next thing I remember was being with Crady and her friend, Jordan. They went to the black jack table where Crady won on her first hand. I told her to quit while she was ahead, but she didnt listen to me. After her and Jordna lost their money I think my drunkeness was getting to everyone. I then went with kellie again to gamble. I bet 3 dollars and lost all 3 dollars. While we were switching slot machines, I asked an old lady how much money she had lost on the nite, she responded "$1000, you have to take the good with the bad". I told her I felt really bad and wanted to give her a hug, so i did. After gambling a bit more we were leaving the casino I saw Tommy West, Univ of Memphis' head football coach. I went up to him and shook his hand, I told him I wanted to wish him luck in the first game of the season and to Go Rebels. After taht we left and came back to Oxford where we all passed out. -MIke
