back to work
This weekend was pretty good. I had off Friday night because they told me not to come in since it was so dead. Saturday night I literally stood around from 6 - 9 and didn't get one table until 9:30 p.m. when three tables walked in thankfully. I got to wait on two of them and I didn't make a lot, but at least it was better than nothing. This place is brutal. Something has to give.
Today I went to the Cannery with my dad and spent too much money. I was losing my ass off. I switched machines like 5 times. I couldn't win on poker, keno, nothing!! I should have taken the ten free dollars they gave me and went home.
I had lunch earlier with my friend Erin. We met for Thai food. It was so yummy. Erin and I used to work together and we still hangout once in a while. She's awesome.
So, my mom and I are planning a trip in late July or early August to go to Los Angeles. I'm psyched. One thing I definitely want to do is go on the Price Is Right. I also want to tour Hollywood and go on some star's homes tours and check out Rodeo Drive etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm looking for a great place to stay that's reasonably priced and is in a central location - close to all of the fun touristy stuff. Any L.A. suggestions from where to eat or what to tour would be greatly appreciated.
Let's see, this week I'm only working Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I'm hoping to pick up and extra shift or two.
Happy Monday kids!

I'm going to LA the last weeek in August!! I love that place. I'm still trying to put together an itinerary.

Been reading and enjoying your blog now for awhile. Hope the job thing works out for you soon.
Anyways just got back from L.A last month and my wife and I tried an L.A. tour we really enjoyed--lacitytours.com is their website. They will even pick you up at your hotel, that's if it is on their list which is pretty big. They show you all of L.A. including what you listed that you wanted to do.
Have fun,
Greg

Since you like poker, you should see a few of our poker casinos; they're huge compared to Vegas poker rooms. Commerce Casino, Bicycle Club, Hustler Casino(owned by Larry Flint and decorated like a brothel). After Rodeo Drive you should go walk around Venice Beach; very different crowd from the Beverly Hills set. If you want to see a TV show you better get tickets ASAP. A lot of them go fast. Go take the tour of NBC studios in Burbank. Another great shopping area is 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Then there's downtown with Chinatown, Japantown, Koreatown, etc, etc. There's a ton of stuff to do here.

>I switched machines like 5 times...
Do locals really play slot machines that much? I know that if they play slot machines, they play them at locals casinos where the payout is slightly better but I never thought vegas residents would really be inclined to play slot machines.
