Road Tripping: Eureka Casino in Mesquite, Nevada


I'll be honest- we probably spent even less time inside the Eureka than we did in the other casinos. It was a pretty small place and by the time we got there it was well into the early enough hours that most people were asleep and the restaurants and bars were closed or operating with a skeleton crew. We were able to make a quick lap of the casino and see most of what there was to it, though these Simpson's machines near the bathrooms definitely got my attention! I haven't watched that show in years, for a wide variety of factors (not having cable television, moving overseas, etc) but it used to be one of my favorites. I've long since stopped watching weekly television outside of the Flash and a handful of other shows (that we now stream, anyway). So it goes. 


As we were wandering the casino, we passed a Japanese couple sitting at a machine together shouting and animatedly playing their chosen game. Antho noticed them when the man shouted "Bo-na-SUUU!!!" excitedly. While we don't personally gamble, we watched them play for a minute as the wife cheered him on and they navigated the screen together trying to figure out the system. I was tempted to say something, but I didn't want to make them uncomfortable, so we moved along before (I hope) we hovered for too long. 


We ended up crashing in the van not far from here. No one bothered us, and we only stayed for the evening, and by 8 or 9 am we were back on the road. 









Cheers!

XOXO,
