I lost my shirt at the tables. Too much money. To the point where I had to stop myself from gambling at about 5PM on Saturday night...with another 16 hours left in the casino. It was good though. I hung out with the non gambling crowd and showed them around the casino. They were newbies, needless to say, I'm a veteran.
Mohegan sun is an amazing place. Very easy to get "lost" but also has some great bars and restaurants. My favorite has to be Leffinwell's in the Sky casino. Anyone who has been to Mohegan has to know about Leffingwell's. There is a large "glass" mountain in the middle of the sky casino, above which is an active planetarium with stars, the moon, and active lights that imitate the dawn and rising moon. On top of the mountain, below the planetarium, is Leffingwell's. It has amazing comfortable seats and couches, and has views of the entire sky casino. If you haven't been, I would definitely recommend it. Check out the picture below.
I took a few of the newbies there. They had NO idea it was there, and were pumped when we got up there and got some great seats, smoked a few cigars and had a couple of glasses of scotch.
Now, after many questions and much debate to check with the crowd to get some buy in on strippers, the general consensus was that it isn't a bachelor party without strippers. So I made a phone call. Scheduled 2 girls to come at midnight. I collected the money and got everyone in the room at about 10 of 12 for the show. Right about then I got a phone call from the "driver" saying one of his girls had gone home sick. Ok, I said, what can you do for me? "Well, I can have 2 girls for you at 3AM or 1 girl at 12." I said 1 girl at 12 would be just fine.
At about quarter past 12 I got a call from a different "driver" who said "I have two girls for you, I just left Providence I will be there in a half hour." Now, anyone who has driven from Providence to Mohegan Sun knows that it take at least an hour, so I called him on it.
"My GPS says 40 minutes"
"Well, your GPS is wrong. I've made that trip at least 5 times and it has never taken less than an hour. So what, you'll be here at like 130?"
"No guy, I'll be there at 1230."
(I fucking HATE it when people call me "guy" or "Chief" or "bud" its trashy.)
"Look, I'm not an idiot. I know how long it takes. And you're sitting here telling me a half hour because you know if you tell you're gonna be here at 130 I will just say no. That isn't gonna work for me. What happened to the guy who was here with 1 girl for 12?"
"I don't know guy, thats not my fucking problem. You gonna flake out on my like a bitch or what?"
WTF????
"I'm gonna flake out on you? You're gonna be here an hour and a half later than you're supposed to. You're the one who's flaking out. Half of these guys didn't sleep last night, and honestly it's everything I can do to keep half of them awake, and the other half out of the casino, so don't start giving me shit cuz you guys fucked up."
The whole time two friends are watching me have this conversation. At this point they're both like "fuck this guy, cancel."
"Ya know what man, forget about it. I'm not waiting till 130, paying you full price for a show you're gonna be an hour and a half late for. So forget it."
"Oh yeah? Forget it? I'm comin there anyway. I know what room you're in."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening, I'm just saying"
"Ok tough guy, well here's what I'm just saying. I'm sitting in this room with 10 other guys. You wanna roll up like a tough guy be my guest, but I would say it wouldn't be a great idea."
"Fuck you mother fucker. You think I can't get more action at Mohegan Sun? I'll get another show."
"Good I hope you do."
"Rather gamble than see some girls. You some kind of homo?"
"Go fuck yourself you piece of shit. You call me again and I'm calling the cops. You show up to my room, I take no responsibility for what 10 drunk guys do to your ass. Fuck off."
Thats when I hung up.
I walked out to the living room into the circle of guys expecting a show, and said "Well gentlemen, no show tonight. Go to bed or gambling." I explained the situation to my cousin who understood. Didn't look like he was too disappointed.
So I guess thats what you get when you're dealing with those types of people. They guy lied to me, then got pissed off when I called him out on it. Then when I cancelled he really freaked and literally was threatening toward me until I told him it wouldn't be a good situation for him to show up. Asshole.
I spent the rest of saturday night drinking like a fish until about 530 AM. Yes, the bars close at 130 at Mohegan, but since we had a suite with a refrigerator we had a few 30 packs that we poured into Dunkin' Donuts cups and walked around. A few people gambled, but even though I was completely trashed I restrained myself. At about 515 a friend of mine sat down at a table. Played for a little while, and then hit 30-1 on a 5 dollar bet. I said "Dude, walk away. You're up, the weekend's over. Let's go." We went to the suite and crashed till about 9 am.
I woke up, showered, checked out, paid. Drove two and a half hours to Boston just in time to make the Sunday afternoon Sox game and sit in the bleachers in 90 degree heat. Not the best experience, but since they got smoked we "upgraded" to seats literally right behind home.
I finished the weekend up by crashing at about 8 sunday night. All in all a great weekend. Would have been better if I won money and possibly saw some naked women, but I can't complain.
Next weekend is the wedding. I've run it by a few people and it seems I should be prepared to say something at the reception. I'm not worried. I don't care about speaking in front of people, and given the time I've got I can come up with some good stuff to say.
As I've said, I'm flying solo. My ex from 2 exes ago is in the wedding party. Should be interesting since she's got a jealous boyfriend type who doesn't really like me. I'm sure he'll be giving me the evil eye all night. Becky told me I should dance with the ex just to piss him off, but I don't want to cause the drama that I know would be caused if I even had the gaul to ask.
Till next time.
(BTW, I'm glad people are kind of realizing that I'm really not a douche and didn't really deserve the "Worst Blogger of the Year Award." Your support doesn't go unappreciated. I truly don't mean to offend anyone, and again don't mean to hurt feelings. Thank you all for reading.)

Sounds like a good time!
Yeaaaah...don't get into anything with the ex with the jealous boyfriend. The wedding is about your cousin and any drama like that will detract from it. Just go, drink, and make as ass out of yourself by dancing to "shout" and do the "electric slide" like a good groomsman.
And this probably goes without saying BUT be sober when you give the toast. I've been in at ,least 6 weddings and been to more than I can count, and nothing is worse than a semi-sober toast.
