| - Walked in at 3:45 with a big smile. I had already been to Mr Mamas and had a great lunch. Followed that up with a flat out fantastic massage at Best Foot Spa. Best Foot Spa is right close to Lee's Liquor. By the time I got to Arizona Charlie's I was set. I was feelin' good. Very good.
Check in was pleasant. Major improvement at the Registration Desk! It was such a welcome change from my last several visits, it put an even bigger smile on my face.
My King suite was a smoking room, so as soon as I sat my bags down I immediately started smoking. I smoked and I smoked and I smoked. It took a while, but soon I had a really good cloud going in the room. I mean, it was so smoky it was difficult to see the big ass TV through the haze. Clearly, there are few responsibilities as a hotel guest I take more seriously than my obligation to keep my smoking room smoky.
You smoke like that you gonna get hungry. And that's exactly what happened. But damn, by now I'm in NO condition to drive anywhere. And I had a really good smoke going on. I didn't want to be away from the room so long I'd lose the smoky momentum I had going. As I always do in such cases, I lit a small fire in the wastebasket and then poured just enough water on it to put out the flames. I sat the smoldering wastebasket in the bathtub and waited until the suite was completely filled with smoke. That would buy me at least an hour or so.
I needed a quick meal, so Arizona Charlie's coffee shop, the Sourdough Cafe, was out of the question. They're not quick. I decided to try the little deli tucked away in the back corner of the casino. Turned out to be a good choice. The cheesesteak I had was pretty dang good. And it was ready quickly! There was still plenty of smoke in the room when I got back.
I like to think that when I checked out three days later I had made some real progress on the smokiness of the suite. There's a lot to do in Las Vegas and I ended up spending a lot of time outside of the room. Still, I know I left Arizona Charlie's a little smokier than I found it. I'm good with that.
