Yea, that's right folks. I met & hung out with the infamous JJ Gold. He arrived at the Excalibur sports book on Tuesday, shortly before Mrs. Jayvegas & I arrived. As soon as I saw him I knew who it was. He seemed a little surprised that I recognized him but I think its safe to say that anyone who is a regular here at SBR would immediately recognize JJ .
I am still convinced that if it weren't for my wife accompanying me, he wouldn't have agreed to meet me so, I left them alone at the back of the book, to allow her time to charm him a little. She has this way about her that everyone finds elegant & engaging.
Also I needed to make a grapefruit bet before the game started!!!
As I walked back from the wicket I could hear her unmistakable laugh. JJ had her in stitches a mere 2 minutes after meeting him.
I showed JJ the teams I took & he gave me some words of encouragement but more than sports, he appeared to be more focused on finding a place to eat.
I obviously suggested a buffet, because I'm Jayvegas & JJ was quick to decline & asked if there were any good restaurants in the casino. We went upstairs & I suggested BUCA. A reasonably priced Italian restaurant.
We were seated by our waitress Cynthia & ordered our food. JJ had a pasta dish & my wife ate the meatball sandwich. I told Cynthia I would just be drinking today because, I'm Jayvegas.
JJ said the food was good & I ended up having 1/2 of my wife a sandwich. I have to agree, even though I'm a fussy eater, it was really good. At the end of the meal Mrs Jayvegas invited JJ to the pool & he declined at 1st but when she said that she was going upstairs to get pool clothes on he reluctantly changed his mind.
She said, "I'll leave you guys alone to talk for a bit & then meet you two at the pool." I reminded her that she would have to come back to the restaurant because we would need the room key to gain access to the pool.
"Oh yeah.", she said & it was then We could all see Cynthia walking towards our table & jj looks right at Mrs. Jayvegas & says, " Could I borrow a couple of dollars, I promise I'll pay you back, its just that i forgot My wallet in the car & don't wanna walk all the way back."
"Oh yeah, no worries." She replied & it was then JJ said, "I'm just kidding. Its on me."
"What would you guys do if I was serious?" He asked.
The three of us laughed & I swear I had a tear in my eye, I was laughing so hard.
Mrs Jayvegas left to go get changed & it was just JJ & I.
There was no finger waving or toupee throwing. There was no tap cok or footsies under the table. We talked about posters, some we liked & some we didn't. We talked about the site mostly but we also discussed his stay in Vegas & some other topics about his time in Vegas so far. It was about as normal as a conversation can be. Respectful, insightful & constantly interesting.
I could have spent hours talking with him but, Mrs Jayvegas returned to our table & was ready to go to the pool.
More than gambling or drinking or shows or shopping she enjoys tanning by the pool more than anything. I still can't wrap my head around it but when Mrs Jayvegas says that we are going to the pool, "we are going to the pool."
I could tell that JJ wasnt going to stay out by the pool all day but he stayed for a short while & entertained us thoroughly. He allowed me to take that photo of him leaning on a garbage can. I thought that was classic & I had a few laughs when it actually fooled a couple of SBR posters. I don't know who enjoys that stuff more, him or I?
Before he left I told him that I had to get a picture with him & he graciously complied but, there was a condition. We didn't want to let everyone know right away that we all met. So I played along & kinda followed His lead in the forms.
I can be a little naive & excitable at times & I would meet anyone anywhere but, JJ made a good point. Its not always easy for people to get into a meeting strangers mode. I think what he was trying to tell me was that, "you can't please all the people all of the time."
Its easier for a poster like me who has 10-15 consistent followers to meet people, but its a little harder for JJ who has thousands of followers.
Before he leaves the pool he asks us if we had ever been to Red Rock?
Of course we responded NO & guess what this guy does? He offers to drive us there in his own car & show us around. I omitted JJ from all the videos I took at Red Rock but I can assure he was there. I know this because he refused to allow Mrs. Jayvegas or I to pay for lunch again!
And it was a great lunch. It was called the Weiner's Circle & it was my kinda place. Thick burgers with fresh cut fries! I love burgers & fries because I'm Jayvegas!
As you could see in the videos we checked out the poker room, the restaurants & most Importantly the sports book.
The Red Rock resort itself is phenomenal but the scenery & surrounding landscape is breathtaking.
As soon as we walked into the Sports book I saw on one of the screens that a local driver from my hometown was racing at Yonkers so I had to make a bet. I put $5 across on him & promptly lost a quick $15. I don't mind though because it gave me a reason to call my Dad & tell him who I was with & who I bet on & where I was. My Dad is an anonymous reader here at SBR & is a huge JJ Gold fan so he was even more excited than I was when he got My call.
For a guy who says he is not that familiar with Vegas JJ sure took us to a lot of interesting places. After Red Rock he said he would drive us to see some cool off-strip casinos but then he has a brilliant idea & mentioned the Las Vegas Gamblers Bookstore.
I'm so glad he sis because fukkin lived it.
When we got there I was literally like a kid in a candy store. I bought chips, decks of cards, key chains & was able to find 3 books written by my favorite author, Dr. Alan Schoonmaker. My wife said I could only get two things. Even though I just went on one of my most epic gambling runs, she still put me on a budget.
It didn't work though. I kept wearing her down until she let me buy nearly everything I wanted. Then on The way out I saw that they had 2 decks of COPAG's for about a seventh of what the sell for in Canada, so after another tantrum I was allowed to buy them! It wasn't until she made me realize that JJ wasn't there to watch me shop for an hour, that I realized I was being a little selfish & it was time for JJ to drive us back to the Excalibur.
The drive back to the Excalibur again was a nice ride with a lot of funny & interesting conversation.
That reminds me, when I txtd JJ before he picked us up, I asked him what kinda vehicle we would be looking for & here was his reply.
Meeting JJ only added to the unexpected enjoyment of this entire trip. If I could have spent the entire week with him I would have.
I think anyone would.Comment -
Unreal.
Legendary story.
Many of SBR's best posters are more concerned with where they are going to eat than gambling.Comment -
Sorry coach, I meant to have Rocker airbrush the Carmen Miranda doo outta the pic!Comment -
Sasha call me
Jay actually got me out of routine last week and it was refreshingComment -
The Las Vegas Gambler's Book Store is legendary, owned and operated by great people, and within its walls can be found some very shiny gems!
Keep meeting posters JJ, sounds like this meeting went well for everyone.
