saturday cont'd

Headed back to the room at the 4 QUEENS
to freshen up. A little disappointed that we
didnt get any room cleaning service from
the 4Q staff. I threw the old towels on the
floor assuming there'd be fresh ones when
I got back. Had to call down to desk to get
fresh ones. Guess leaving a nice tip for
Rosa & Carmelita the day before isnt enough
to get them to come back the next day.

Went over to the GOLDEN NUGGET for some
poker. Ran cold, always seamed to have the
2nd nut hand, -$200. Left rather than rebuying.

Went over to FITZGERALDS.
Really rude cashiers. -$5 on slots.
Headed upstairs to the Fitz poker room.
Closed and deserted at 2:45am.

Went out onto Fremont Street to do some
people watching. Totally dead at 3am (see photo).

Maybe during the week, but not that early
on a Saturday night. That's just not right !
Even most of the shops were closed.
Not just the street vendors kiosks,
but all the gift/variety stores too.

The U.S. economy has tanked and its
hitting vegas hard. A year ago,
the street had people on it
every hour of the day.
