Crown Casino in the centre of melbourne - A little bit of Las Vegas ready to snap up whatever money you are willing to throw at it! Its a Casino that takes up a whole block of the city, actually two I think when you add the massive hotel and car parks! Its got two awesome clubs (open til 7am), loads of bars and a multiplex cinema. You could be entertained for hours on end! Especially as the gambling portion is open 24 hours. I'm not big on my gambling, but having played a bit of Roulette as a kid I thought i'd have a go. I kinda figure I'm out here to have a good time, so a few bucks isn't going to hurt me too much on the wallet front! I wasn't let down, it was great fun and I managed to win some major bucks (well on my scale of things), which naturally I put straight back into the table! On the plus side though I walked away having won what I had put down in the first place - so no money lost in the whole scheme of things! I have managed to keep away from the slots, as back in Coogee I saw a guy (called Spiderman - nickname) put $1500 into one in about 15 minutes! and lost it all. And another guy leave after only a month as he had gambled his way home - leaving no money for him to continue his travels! Slots aren't quite the same over here - completely luck, not like ours in the UK where you get different features, quite boring really! Anyways, Aussie Rules Football tomorrow at the Telstra Dome. Watch this space for an update of my latest goings on!
