dren, this would be their room. Liberace was a Las Vegas entertainer known for his extremely rich and tacky style (like Las Vegas itself). He died of AIDS in the 1980s. There's no tub. Short for "bathtub." I saw "Electric Horseman!" An animal rode through here with lights! A movie in which a horse walked through the casino (and this is why Dave thinks he can walk through the casino in his bathrobe). Go away! A very cool and common way to say "leave!" She's not on a lucky streak. A "streak" is an unbroken series, as in 10 victories in a row. In this case, she is having a lot of bad luck! I was down earlier. Now I'm up. "To be up" (or down) in a gambling context refers to how much money you have compared to when you started (If you're up, you have more, and if you're down, you have less). The core of the nest egg!!! The "core" is the heart, or biggest part. Give or take $1,000 dollars. A common expression meaning "approximately." This is like "The Twilight Zone." Refers to an old 1960s TV show where surreal and bizarre things always happened to people. A gambling diseased person! An ungrammatical (but funny) way of referring to a person who has a problem with gambling. It's like a venereal disease. An old-fashioned way to refer to a sexually transmitted disease (now called STDs, not VD). I'm tracing my life. "To trace" is to literally follow the course of a trail. Here, David is saying that he's reflecting back on his life. A keno card. Keno is a game for betting on numbers which is popular in Las Vegas. My credentials. "Credentials are qualifications, or perhaps job skills. "Ross and McMahon." The name of the ad agency Dave worked at I'm not a jerk. It's my business to have ideas. A jerk is a cool alternative word for idiot, moron, or ass. We were roaming across the country trying to find ourselves. Previously explained: All of this is a truly ridiculous and irrelevant thing to say to a person who lives and works in a Las Vegas casino. We're "just being." Very 1960s slang (a variation of "discovering ourselves"), which once again, is a ridiculous thing to say to person in a casino. Your food and board is comped, free. "Comped" is hotel slang for included at no cost. As a bold experiment, give us our money back! "Bold" means courageous, or in this case, very different from normal. Slot machine. A gambling machine that uses coins, popular in Las Vegas casinos. Jackpot. The top money prize accumulated over time. Hilton A famous hotel chain. I'm talking off the top of my head. "To talk off the top of your head" is to talk without thinking what you are going to say beforehand. Vegas is not associated with feeling. In this case, "feeling" means war
