Hell Hath Blinding Fury in Las Vegas

Hell Hath Blinding Fury in Las Vegas

So here I am, a Las Vegas blackjack dealer, enjoying a fantastic session at my favourite table #9. It’s all smiles when I come across a group of people milling around the craps table. I take my leave and mosey on over to them. “What’ the buzz with you folks?” I question. A small man with angular features pushes through the crowd and emerges into the basking glow of the overhead light. “Mate, we’re from London and we’ve got a great joke for you,” he ripostes. In the spirit of craps I add, “Let’s roll fellas!”

The Demon and his 6 Tricks in Sin City

A man who has done plenty wrong in his life ends up in hell. On his way down he meets up with a demon gatekeeper who asks him several questions.

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘So big guy do you like to drink?’

Big Guy: ‘Sure do. It’s my favourite pastime – passing the time…’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘Great. Drinking nights are on Sundays. You’ll have a blast. Say, do you like to blaze away?’

Big Guy: ‘Sure do. I always blaze away.’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘Great. Smoking nights are on Mondays. It’s just past the door there to the left. You enjoy slots machine gambling?’

Big Guy: ‘Sure do! Yeah that’s my favourite entertainment activity.’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘That’s fantastic beyond compare. We’ve got a fully decked out casino underground – just beneath Hell’s Kitchen. Just take the red-hot-poker elevator to the south exit. Gambling nights are on Tuesdays.’

Big Guy: ‘Demon Dave, could I ask you a question? Do you have any narcotics in this place? I mean I’m keen to get some MJ.’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘Thought you’d never ask. As a matter of fact, there’s a store down the road here. Just take burning coal drive to the right and enter the palace of forks. Whatever drugs you want you can have on Wednesdays. Remember that all the activities in Hell are compulsory.’

Big Guy: ‘That’s grand. This place is really awesome.’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘You gay, big guy?’

Big Guy: ‘No – why?’

Demon Gatekeeper: ‘That’s a real pity. Because Thursdays are really going to hurt…’

This is what these craps shooters were punting back and forth on that exciting night. I got to tell you folks – it was an excellent night of festivity. What a night. What a craps roll he was having. In addition to his devilish casino jokes and gaming activity, I was gobsmacked by the sheer pace and excitement of being at the craps and blackjack tables.

On this cool Las Vegas evening, I’d like to bid you folks adieu and wish you all the very best in the week ahead. It’s certainly fun-time gaming and entertainment galore in the city of sin, but beyond that you’re going to have to wait for the week ahead for another slice of something nice.
