In love with Renault

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Yeah I know the title doesn’t sound much like the good old Blackjack but it has to be said – my new ride is for all us cowboys out there who just want to live life in the fast lane.

She’s an absolute beauty and rides like a dream. Of course I got her in ‘Black Gold’. They didn’t have a ‘Blackjack’ option like my old Chevrolet but Black Gold sounded pretty swanky so I went with that. I was looking for an upgrade, a sleek, stylish comfortable drive to cruise around the town. Something that would impress the ladies. I know Renault doesn’t usually come to mind but this new model has something different – a new swagger that makes you stop and stare. I first noticed it when a I was back in the Chev doing my usual cruise around town, admiring the view. When the woman I was admiring ignored my car and instead was amazed by shiny black car steaming past me. A Renault Megane no less. Basking in the sun and stealing my manhood – I have to have one.

So round to the dealer I went and demanded he upgrade me to this Black beauty, this stallion of a car. He offered a test drive, of course I accepted – the moment I sat on that fresh leather I felt like I was back on the range. I owned the road again, and the ladies started to stare again. ‘This ride is mine’ I said, and laid down the dollar. The joy it’s brought me in just these few days is what compelled me to write this post. This Black Gold beauty is the ride of kings!

Vegas Top 3

My Vegas Top 3 places to play Black Jack.

That’s right – I thought I’d throw together a little advice for those of you lucky enough to be headed over to the lovely lady that is Las Vegas soon. After all you don’t want to get dropped off outside the Bellagio just to be played by some hustler telling you he knows the best tables around, providing you part with some of your fresh American dollars. They see tourists with pockets full of cash raring to gamble and think ‘Kerching’, but a Vegas vacation doesn’t have to leave you feeling robbed. There are plenty of places to enjoy a good game of cards – believe me, I’ve done it. So pay attention cowboys, and let the good times roll.

These three Casinos are in Downtown Las Vegas and are three of the few Casinos still offering true Single-Deck BlackJack with full pay 3-2. These are hard to come across these days, but makes it all the more worth it when you do stumble upon the beauty.

El Cortez is one of the best joints around – it’s also a Hotel so when it’s getting late or if you find a pretty lady, there’s no need to call a cab. Fine dining and entertainment are as standard as they say. And when you have found that pretty lady there’s a tastey steakhouse with whacking great steaks the size of a small baby – I know ’cause I’ve tried one!

Next on my list is Four Queens – the croupiers here have some major talent; shuffling worth remembering. I swear I saw one throw a whole pack in the air, only to catch half the pack in his mouth and the other half fell behind his two ears – it was madness.

And finally – Binion’s Gamling Hall. This hall, founded by one of my greatest heros Benny Binion has changed a lot since his day, but I love the way his memory lives on through the gaming. It’s a must visit for any die hard casino lover.

Now get those tickets booked and head over to Nevada. I know I wanna!
