Lemon Drops and Craps...

The Eiffel Tower, Paris Hotel.


Friday, August 14, 2009

We slept in since we were up until around 3 am again. I hopped in the shower and while KM was showering, went down to smoke. I played a few penny machines while smoking and sipping on a Dr Pepper. I also walked around and found the poker room. The sign says that Friday nights are Ladies nights and there is a $20 buy in. I may check that out after dinner tonight.

We decided to hit New York, New York casino for Crème Brule since it was already around noon. It was absolutely wonderful with a raspberry sauce on the plate and the Brule in a dish on top of that. We finished it all! Afterwards we stopped and played Craps. The dealer was trying to explain the rules etc but he had such a thick accent that neither of us understood except when he said put a chip there. It was a $10 minimum so I got two chips and won $10 the first hand. I immediately lost the next three and we left.

While at NY, NY I bought a baseball hat. We walked around the Excalibur and looked at the Poker Room to possibly play later on. We then we came back to the room to change for dinner and drinks.

KM drove us up to the Paris hotel where we went to have drinks at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. We took a glass elevator up the tower to the bar. To get to the bar we walked through the kitchen. After sitting down, the bartender named Shea came over and greeted us. KM described the Pomegranate lemon drop that she had last time she was there with her mother and sisters and Shea said it was he who made if for them as it is his personal specialty. It was quite a surprise that Shea was still working there after so many years. Shea showed us the drink menu and said that before the drink called The Eiffel Affair came on the menu, the Pomegranate lemon drop was by far the number one ordered drink. He talked me into getting The Eiffel Affair which was a champagne based drink with fresh blueberries, raspberries etc. KM and I shared our drinks and she showed me the Bellagio water fountain from that view. While we were finishing up our drinks another couple came in. The lady looked frazzled. She said she had been shopping with kids all day and wanted a drink. The man asked what we were drinking. After explaining the two drinks and really selling the lemon drop, the wife ordered it. She loved it so much that she downed it and ordered another before we left.

We headed to dinner with some of KM’s friends at Geisha. It is Japanese (Chinese?) food where they cook it right in front of you on the grill at the table. Our waiter was Max and he was pretty funny. KM showed a couple of us how to use chop sticks. I actually ate most of the meal with them too. It was quite easy once KM showed me how. They were large portions and none of us were able to finish them. After dinner we visited until about 9pm.

We stopped at the poker room to see about the tournament but it didn’t seem to be going on. The ladies inside explained that there were games going on of unlimited 2 and 4 and limited 3 and 6. We decided not to play in a regular game but if there was a tournament then we would.

We walked around for a bit, played more video poker and drank. We later went to the room and made love. What wonderful sounds she makes!
