Vegas Results

1. Under – flight delays of three hours total
2. Under – only one complaint registered as all 3 hours were for one leg of the trip and the only thing that bothered me was the Captain’s excuses
3. Under – Shocking, I know, but only 2 compulsive activities. One was gambling.
4. Over – Hallelujah, the Flamingo has an included gratuity of $0 for room service. No more tricking you into tipping twice, which interestingly enough led me to tip far more than I would have otherwise.
5. Under – only 20% of meals eaten at buffets. Many of you seem to have forgotten that in the land of fat gluttons, every meal is all-you-can-eat for an average sized person. Even some kids menu entrees could fill me to bursting.
6. Under – I timed my few buffet meals to odd hours to avoid line-ups. Because I know the omelette line too well, and it really does drive me nuts.
7. Over - $338 dollars over to be precise. And that doesn’t include all the comps. You doubters.
8. Under - $65 dollars under. Perhaps the worst thing that can happen to your gambling results is to win on your first pull of a slot machine on your first day of an 8 day trip to Vegas. The “lucky” machine hosed me on each subsequent day.
9. Under – Wonderboogie is no longer performing at Harrah’s (right next to my hotel) and is instead playing some place I had never heard of. Harrah’s management couldn’t “comprehend” the artistic value of my renditions of Wonderboogie’s renditions of hits from the 70s performed in the lobby.
10. Under - Got away scott free at customs. Even snuck in some beef jerky (in my carry on, not in an orifice).

So in a close race, Probst wins based on his slightly less pessimistic estimate of my gambling wins!!! Good job buddy. $13.65 (US) is coming your way.

That's the first thing I've won in three years. Well, not exactly, I've won two bad relationships, a drinking problem and about 20lbs, but that's the first time in two years that I actually won money.....yahoooooooo!!
