    Day 127 - Student Union Casino

    I discovered the other day that we have real slot machines on campus at the student union. Figure that one out. I put in 20p but didn't win anything except the best prize of all, which was the opportunity to tell people I played a slot machine on a university campus. In case you're wondering, the gambling age here (like the drinking age) is 18, not 21.

    On a related note, there's a good chance I might be spending a few days next month (on or around Christmas) in Las Vegas with my family. So exciting!! It's one of my favorite places. It'll be so neat to re-visit the Venecian and Paris Las Vegas hotels after visiting the real Venice and Paris.

    in that case, I can understand why the payout wasn't that great... unless you consider the intrinsic payout of the story you can now tell...
