I lost more than I can count or want to admit in Las Vegas so I thought I'd let these other unique numbers add for themselves. They're in chronological order of the whole trip.

15
number of days spent in Las Vegas

16
number of casinos where I played slots

0
number of casinos where I played poker

3700
total big win amount on slot machines ($900 Wizard of OZ -- Glinda the Good Witch; $800 Wizard of OZ -- Follow the Yellow Brick Road; $300 China Mystery; $800 Airplane!; $400 Cashman Tonight -- Lucky Miner; $500 Sun & Moon)... yet gave it all back plus more

9
number of trips to the bank and ATMs

5.99
ATM fee at Harrah's

4
number of deposits made to Full Tilt and Bodog

12.02

1.5
number of times a can't-remember-if-she-was-attractive girl grabbed my butt while dancing (obviously not this girl pictured)


428

1000
dollars remaining in player points from Harrah's and Silverton, to be used for food and overpriced gifts

6

400
dollar amount lost betting against Pacquiao (I'd do it again at those odds)

6794
slot tournament score in third and final session at The Venetian. Need at least 10,000 each session to cash.

20,000
first place prize for slot tournament

1 to 2
number of cents wagered by old woman on slot machine (1 line, 1 or 2 bets per line). She had her legs akimbo on either side of the Jackpot Party Progressive game and was having a good ol' time. Sure, they're penny slots, but she was risking strangulation by me sitting next to her.

44

24,000
number of Grazie points earned this trip to get Gold

75
lowest legal percentage payback allowed on a Nevada slot machine (meaning on average you get back 75 cents on the dollar)

3300

35

10
number of people squeezed into free stripper shuttle to Cheetah's

20
number of lapdances received from a Colombian stripper at Cheetah's

5000
dollar amount a friend paid for entertainment at Cheetah's

14

7.99
new price of 8 oz. sirloin steak at Ellis Island, still a good 24-hour deal that includes beans, baked potato, soup, and beer or root beer

3
at M Buffet, number of trips made for steamed crab legs (so good)


17
average number of minutes spent in bathroom afterwards (mostly because of my lactose intolerance of ice cream)

50
food comp dollar amount received at M Resort. But having received those buffets for free, the food comp was left to splurge on these items from the mini-bar.

amount in slot machine when Cashman Tonight triggered and then crashed (bad Aristocrat). When it came back up, won $6 in the bonus and then lost the $320.

2
number of "free" sweatshirts received at Silverton for earning 500 points per day

6700
number of needlessly earned points above the 500

1
sweatshirt not received because a gaming day does not begin until 2 a.m., which is not listed in their fine print

1.50
unbelievably low price for a big bag of gummi bars from the Silverton mini-bar

7.45
unbelievably low price for a dinner buffet at Silverton (2-for-1 or 50 percent off between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m.)

25
percent charged instantly when taking out a payday loan. I didn't, though I checked into it.

281
number of text messages sent/received over my normal 200 limit while in Las Vegas (at 5 cents each, still less than $40 extra per month)

11
number of days until annual WPBT blogger tournament in Las Vegas (not sure if I'll be able to make it, have you been reading this?)
