Guess I should have taken a last-minute head count before moseying downtown. I parked at Harrah's and won $20 on the 25¢ slots before jaywalking across Virginia St. to The Nugget. Grabbed a table for four closest to the entrance into the counter and grill area, and slapped my FlyerTalk luggage tag on the edge of the table for easy identification. Ordered the first Awful Awful I've had since before Y2K along with a Diet Coke. Enjoyed my half-pound burger and pound of fries, feeling much like I do when I'm on the road and dining alone.

Well, with the win at Harrah's, after paying for my dinner, I'm still $11 and change ahead. Sorry I didn't get to meet any fellow FlyerTalkers, but no harm, no foul. I hope you get a better turnout next week, although I'll be in Las Vegas.
