Forgetful Fail

Momoko and I went to the casino for a mini vacation. We left the kids behind at home. Altogether we stayed four days and three nights there. It was nice to have a hotel room right above the casino. It let us gamble and they go upstairs for a rest when needed.

On the last night of our stay, Momoko went to her new favorite machine called Mermaids. She seemed to be able to play for a long time and even make some money off the thing. I had lost most of my money and decided to go upstairs to the room alone. I still had some homework for class to complete.

Momoko eventually returns to the room when she was tired. She got ready for bed and realized she left her jacket on the chair in front of the Mermaids machine. She had me go back down to retrieve it. Easy right? No such luck.

I did find Momoko's jacket on the chair. Then I grabbed a bit of free ginger ale before heading upstairs. I should have known I was in trouble when I followed a large crowd towards the elevators. They were all walking slow because a dude in a wheel chair was at the front.

Wheel chair guy got on an elevator. Was not much room in it for other people. We all waited for the next elevator. A couple got off the elevator, but stuck around waiting for another elevator. When quizzed, they replied that the elevator they got off was broken.

Unfortunately no other elevators came down for us. I went into the broke elevator and tried to get it to go up. No luck. They have some security device that requires you to use your key to make the elevator go up. Another lady came into the car and fooled around with the security device and got it to work.

Too bad the elevator would not stop at my floor. The thing was defective. I rode the elevator up and had to take the stairs back down to our level. I did not trust this elevator and wanted to avoid getting stuck in it all night. No wonder Momoko did not want to go down and retrieve her own jacket. Suspicious.
