If you like the beauty of being penniless in Melbourne or Perth, 's mind, and you have a self-defeating attitude to life, then the crown casino (Crown Casinos) is the perfect choice for your excellency. This is Australian Vegas, only a little small enough for locals to entertain themselves. Even so, Melbourne crown can not be small, after all, sitting on 2628 gambling machine, the shop laid 90s style dilapidated carpet, spread over two blocks long; There is also a fountain at the door, but the smell of "spring" disinfectant is no different from the public swimming pool. Perth is said to be in as bad a condition, but after all, I haven't been to it, so let's talk about Melbourne's head office today.
Despite its poor reputation, Melbourne's crown casino was unambiguous in terms of business, making a net profit of $352 million last year and, more recently, the idea of building a fourth hotel. Well run. And I believe that the eyes of the masses must be bright, fair and self-supporting, everyone good is really good, in the end, I want to have a long in-depth experience, to enjoy the deluxe of drunken people.
So I'm going to stay in this fucking place for 24 hours for a crash trip.
The clock starts at 10: 00 a. M. on Friday
Introduce my friend Mamoud (Mahmood),. He's a VICE writer. He used to be a motorcycle party. It's perfect to ask him to play with me. Early in the morning we came to the restaurant, and I asked him how many times he had come to Crown casino, and his reply was "so many times."
11:00
The principle of this trip: play all over the crown casino, play full, play enough, we plan to sleep at the casino hotel one night, dress up like a dog and spend a lot of money in front of the gambling table. 11:00 is an hour away from room check-in, which gives me time to see the decorating features here.
The Crown casino carpet is an absolute feature, with a variety of carpets in all the bars, restaurants and game halls, secretly guiding the mood of the guests. As for this part of my foot.
And it reminds me of the aromatherapy in the urination pool, that's it, you know. The pattern is subtle, reminiscent of the cleanliness of human filth such as shit and gambling, and, on the other hand, the wonderful feeling of "gambling is fun, too." What a wit.
12:00 noon
Room check-in is finished, the room is clean and tidy, the room is suitable for home, whether the young couple or consulting company gold collar will be satisfied. Since this visit, pretending to be a fool must be necessary, look at the picture, Mamoud is obviously good at this way. I have an ominous feeling that my day tour of casino is not going to stop. Mamoud didn't think so. "can you fucking calm down?"
I knew right away: that's the difference between a casino rookie and an old Youtiao. Mamoud was a regular here, but he never put his mind to gambling. He was strongly influenced by 2pac's flamboyant street style and had a "reasonable respect" for luxury goods. I see that brands like Moet and Gucci are always angry and uncomfortable, but he can speak out. I hate luxury for two reasons, one is that there are still children in the world who can't eat, the other is that I can't be a fucking winner in George Clooney's life, but Mamoud won't bother himself because of this kind of problem, and the other is that I don't have children to eat in this corner of the world, and I can't be a fucking winner of George Clooney's life. He can see, he can play.
At one noon
I dumped the theory on Mammander, but he told me it was time to go shopping, not to buy it, just look at it.
Look! $44,000 worth of the week log, 18K. (It's said it's President Day Date)Ma Mud lied to the sales lady that he was a well-known writer from Dubai. He felt a little helpless, but he still took the watch out and let's try it. It felt great, just like smoking with an asshole. It's a bitch. I can't believe it.
And then I tried out a $5000 Hugo Boss suit, and I was wearing this selfie Instagram, that worked great, giving me a record number of likes, and even my ex-girlfriend tm gave me a hit. It's amazing. Then I sent her another message to tease her, of course, after drinking too much.

Pretend it's over, time goes by. It's time to meet our father James Grant, who is the resident pastor of the crown casino-WTF?. Yes, the crown casino has this configuration, which is their "responsible gambling" supporting measures. " I first met Father James in 2012, and I asked him if anything had changed in the past five years. He said casino was not as profitable as he used to be. He seems to have witnessed the impact of online gambling on offline casino. After China's government crackdown on gambling activity, casino was hit again, with profits falling 9.1 percent.
"the world is changing fast," the priest said, looking at the gamblers inside. "now this place is not called casino. It's called" Integrated Industries. "the overall profit is based more on shopping malls and hotels, and casino's status has declined." The priest exclaimed, "the purpose of business is no longer to simply gambling, but to gain a reputation in society."

"casino doesn't make money," I was surprised at first, but I saw it all as soon as I saw it. This point most floors are not patronized, even if someone to play, is basically poor. In fact, I haven't seen any big gamblers like that all day. Most people are old, retired, old, or in their early twenties. A lot of light box ads flickering around, couples laughing and, Chris Hemsworth perfume stuff like that, it's boring, let's go have a meal.
Six p.m.
To the gate, I feel that the whole building is quite a "1997 fashion trend".
Marble is everlasting, and a piece of marble lasts forever. Think of it, put up with tremendous pressure, buried in the ground for millions of years, finally in 1997 to see the day, become part of the great crown casino interior decoration materials. As time went by, no one cared that it was a long-standing marble that would be labelled as "something popular in 1997." The modern man walked by and took pictures, showing a disdainful look-how could these people have been blowing so much if they had put them in the old days?
I foolishly picked up some Chinese food from the self-service bar in the food square. The so-called Australian Chinese food is divided into three main categories, either powder flutter, or yellow clear, or a large pile of thickened, the common characteristic is salty. I took an excess of thickened dishes, a variety of artificial seafood, rub.
8: 00 p.m.
After dinner, we had some wine to discuss the next step. Having experienced luxury shopping and seeing Reverend casino, it was time to go to work: go to the three nightclubs in casino and choose the one named "Level Three".
I was on the dance floor, Mamoud was standing by the bar, drinking, fuck, I got to admit, he was acting really hard.
Dance floor music is the classic R B dance music, can be seen everywhere, such as red lights can be heard, through the residential areas can also be heard. A variety of RXB. Have you ever seen an animal world program play on TV where snakes open their mouths and devour their prey? It's the kind of soundtrack. There is no such thuglife trick as ice-cask gray goose vodka, young people, college students, or finance.
11:00
At 11:00, it was time to bet on something. We went down the stairs to the basement, and the tables in the May 1st inning were crowded with men in corsets and flannel shirts. The scene here is quite different from the day when the electronic music played in the field crunches, the carpet crunches, no less than the sound of the background music. The boys were all college students and piled up to play 21:00.
Carpet patterns resemble images automatically generated by Windows Media Player players and space-time distortions through wormholes in a 2001 space walkthrough. It also reminded me of the painful memories of my last attempt at DMT, and the more I saw it, the more disturbing I was.
One in the middle of the night.
Mamoud doesn't want to play. I asked him why he told me that gambling was so stupid. He's right, that's the truth, but I want this car, I need it. Audi S3, fuck.
[电影]3 A M
As a result, I had a bit of a problem, and Mamoud left me and went back to the nightclub alone. My problem is that I didn't win the car, I didn't win anything, but it was a little fucking close. Just a little bit! From betting to opening, one second, one second. In the outside world, a second is the blink of an eye; in the casino world, a second is the unshakable law of physics that leads to the end of the game. I can only accept the reality.
Five in the morning
After losing a lot of money, I went to the food square to make up a bit of food, and I got a passer-by to take my picture. In fact, it is a swing, but it can also be said to reflect my true state. I lost hundreds of dollars, no one must have reimbursed me.
Six o'clock in the morning
Mamoud has lost his cell phone and I have to walk back to the guest room. Early in the morning casino was still noisy, full of young people and single "aristocrats," surrounded by glittering billboards whose bragging scenes did not exist in real life. Thinking of these, the brain is a mess, the soles of the feet also mix garlic, and finally directly planted into the pool.
7: 00 a.m.
Back in the room, our non-gambling, non-dancing motorcycle prince was sleeping in bed, enjoying himself in this smoggy environment. He's been here a thousand times, but he's certainly not as happy as I am this night. Anyway, I decided, like him, to put aside my troubles and get some sleep.
