Current mood:  busy Well I am tired.
Last night I went to Atlantic city with my best buddy Roger. We walked, played, walked, ate, walked, drank a little, walked, shopped, walked. Good time indeed.
Ceasar's opened this new shopping mall. Apparently they bought and revamped the old Pier mall, which, if you had every been in, was old and creepy. Good call on that one. It's still a work in progress, but many stores and restaurants are in, and there is a kickass toilet bowl rim shaped, computer controlled fountain at the end. IT has shows every so often, and Roger and I went to see one, it was cool. No Bellagio, but cool. There's a pic below.
There seemed to be a "down the shore theme" in the mall... go figure.. the stores were mostly all in the middle, and on the north side, the south side had floor to ceiling windows, and wooden beach chairs with real sand! It was crazy like little minni beach areas protected from the weather! and they had these projectors that put wave looking reflections on the ceiling, really nice. I have a picture of the one little Oasis area when you first walk in.
Also I got a picture of the statue of Ceasar Augustus, because well, I never had a picture of Ceasar Augustus.
We also found that it is possible to walk from the Sands to Ceasar's without going outside.. Sands though Claridge though Bally's Through Wild Wild West to Ceasar's.. no way to get to trumpt tower without going outside.. :(
In Wild Wild West, they had a new Wheel of furtune machine that needs a picture (see below). But basically the big weel in the middle will spin for each of the 9 players (assuming you get the special) in turn. It's cool to have a community wheel.
Also I was playing this new video poker machine 5-play multi-strike AWESOME! Little convoluted to get going, but after you play a few hands you get the feel of it. Basically you bet 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20 hands(at 1-5 coins@) and you start with 1 hand, you play that hand, whatever you hold, gets held in the first 5 hands, (you see the 20 hands are split into 4 levels each with 1x 2x 4x and 8x mulitpliers, one for each level) those 5 hands in the 1x level get new cards, if any of those win, the winnind hands go to the 2x level. At the 2X level you play a new hand, and if any of those win, those move up, etc, if a hand loses you don't get the chance to play that hand in the next level. OK confused yet? Play it and you'll get it.
Also we ate at the $12 buffet at The sands, fairly tasty, I stuffed my face, and practically rolled out of there for less that 800 Calories! I had salad, salmon, flounder, tortellini, beef au jus. The salmon was particularly tasty even though I generally don't like salmon.
Here's the pics!
