We decided to have a look around the pool area first off, seeing as there are seven of them! This was going to take twenty minutes and then we were going to explore the strip a bit more. What actually happened was that while walking through the pool bar, they happened to be showing Man Utd vs. Newcastle live on TV. Matthew became a football widower while Lynne started the painful journey of supporting the Toon back in the Premiership. We had a few beers with the match and Matthew decided he wanted to play on the swim-up blackjack tables. Before the gambling began, we thought it would be a good idea to have a cocktail to help us. Kevin, the friendly bartender, laughed as he freely poured the tequila into the margarita. May I add that it was purely done so that when we were betting, the free drinks they would provide us with would be the same as what we were already drinking. Off Matthew swam to lose some money while Lynne floated around in the waterfalls. Within ten minutes Matthew had already lost forty dollars so Lynne decided to join in the action to win some of it back. This worked well and Matthew even started to win - then the free cocktail arrived! Matthew started losing again, but Lynne, being sensible (and not really a gambler) took her winnings which meant that we broke even, more or less. This little exploration of the pool and its facilities had ended up taking all afternoon, so it was time to get changed and head out to Paris, for an all you can eat buffet. The amount of food that Matthew can consume in one sitting is obscene. That is all that needs to be said about that.
