It’s time for the Rehab Pool Party at the Hard Rock. Interesting choice of promo titles. A more appropriate title would be PRE-Rehab judging by the crowds of happy participants. Aside from all the sunbaked, tattooed, drunken, dancing bods frolicking about, Rehab at the Hard Rock offers that twist of lime not found in the regular casinos. Aside from the music BLARING out of every conceivable speaker, and the throng of thongs parading about, one can still sit down under a canopy, poolside, with a mandatory cocktail or two, and gamble your life away. Black Jack is really the only game of choice at this spot so be prepared to get crazy.

As I watched ”Joe the Plumber”, you know the guy, 50’s, not so good looking, overweight, pastey white,nursing several consecutive cocktails, and cemented to a spot at the table with stacks and stacks of purple chips ($500). Naturally the bikini bystanders surround, accompanied by boobalicious waitresses swooping in to handle his EVERY need. I watch them casually smile as they receive complimentary purples on their trays as if it’s “just another Sunday at Rehab” and actually, it is! As I watch my man play against the dealer, he’s up one win, down three, but the stacks just keep on replenishing. Who is this guy you ask? Who knows?! My friend who works security at Hard Rock confided that that guy donated $1/2 a million, yes, dollars, that afternoon, and was back for more that evening to win it back. Well it’s no wonder. When you’re playing a couple of hands at a time with $5k and $10k per hand, these things can happen. Nevertheless, he didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered by the losses adding up, after all, he was receiving a whole lot of attention from the enhancements gawking by and it’s Rehab after all – GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
