After Day 1 : Rumble in the rio ...

So with a day off inbetween my next day in the main event, i have time to wind down
after a long 12 hour day. Ed suggests that we go the bar in the Rio casino, also
dubbed as the hooker bar. So we are sitting down at the bar , its about 4am. On Ed's
left is this English drunk guy, who has busted out of the main event about 12 hours
earlier and has been drinking non-stop since then. He looks a mess, but he is still
going strong, tho his diction has somewhat gone out the window. On my right is some
random girl, tho i dont really pay much attention. I get out my phone, and then this
girl starts talking to me about it, asking some questions. It seems a little bit bizzare
to me, anyway i turn back to Ed and start talking to him. He says you know that
girl is a hooker your talking to. I say 'ofcourse', but really i mean 'ofcourse not'. One
my mind is not thinking straight , and the reason why its called the hooker bar, is
because hookers are hanging out there. Then i look across at the girl and it starts
to make sense. Then i look further along and some "other" girl is talking to a guy,
suddenly i realise, there are hookers everywhere ! Its kind of like that scene in police
academy, of if you go into a bar in sydney and you see that there are no girls in the
bar, and people seem to have a strange attraction to wearing black leather pants,
and then bang , the blue oyster music is playing.

Anyway since i realise the situation, i go back to drinking my corona with ed, enter
ST. ST is a random english guy 2 seats down, who is about 45, and thinks he
is James Bond. He also thinks hes the funniest coolest guy around, and has the
dress sense of an Armani model. He is actively talking to the hooker#1 . She however
is a good judge of character, and can sense that he is a douchebag, however
if hookers ruled out talking to the douchebags they would have to talk to themselves
and other hookers primarily, which is not so profitable. Even then she manages to
determine deicde she has standards. So ends up talking to Ed and I. We find it
hilarious that the guy with the most ridiculous shirt is giving tips to others about fashion.
Hooker#1 leaves , which leaves us talking to ST. Drunk english guy has bought us
some shots of pitrone, and is now dribbling out of his mouth. It is at this high point
he attempts to talk to some other "girls" at the par. Now ST has cornered us and is
reguiling us with stories of how wonderful he is. Turns out he is a poker player, and
has also busted out of the main event. Tho apparently he is some tournament specialist,
even tho i dont seem to recognise his online name. He tells us how in he was in vegas
and he ended up inviting himself along with a dad and his daughter who has turned 21
at the bellagio. Anyway the dad ends up leaving him with his daughter who end up
together for the whole weekend, and the dad picks up some random asian girl. Interesting
21st birhtday present, leaving with the biggest douchebag in vegas.

And then it become apparent what a douche he is , he starts insulting the girls around
the bar, calling them chubby checker, and telling them to lay of the donuts, and how
they are going to crush them with his american thighs (i guess a reference to the
led zepplin song), and telling this black hooker, shes a nigger and all sorts of other things.
Then he starts claiming that the girls would have to pay him, if he was to sleep with
1/2 of them.

Its at this point we challenge him to try and get hooker #1 for $200 who is currently
charging $500 tho a bit desperate coz no one has any money at this bar, tho we figure
even shes not this desperate. He claims she is going to come back and he is going to get
herfor $200.

In the meantime while we're waiting he plays 1 hand of blackjack, never have
i hoped the dealer wins, but miraculously he hits Bj ! Shit. Anyway we wait and wait,
and she doesnt come back. We claim he has lost, and he basically admits he has, but
he wont pay us ($200) ! Ed seems pretty pissed off, i kinda expected it. Then he says,
he will play bj , and if he wins his hand he will pay. We say the 2 are not connected. He
tells us to fk off basically, Even tho he has $5k on him. He then says he will fight
us out in the car park , and if we win we can keep the $5k. Ed is very much in favour
of this, but its 7am, and even tho beating up an english douche in the car park of the rio,
would be satisfying, I dont think its worth while.

So we see what will happen at the BJ tables. Unfortunately he starts badly , and
within 10 minutes hes down 2.5k , meanwhile we're givinghim shit for misplaying his
hands, he is getting more annoyed and althought the chanceof getting our money is
diminishing, this is still entertaining. Then in one shoe, it all turns around, and from
a 2.5k loser hes a 3k winner ! Fk! We get our money, $100 each, and leave the rio at 8am, confident we have met the biggest douche ever. Perhaps my biggest regret , in my
vegas trip might not have been taking him up on the offer to rumble in the rio.
