next month i’m flying to las vegas for a work conference. i’m not even going there to gamble. i’m a photographer, so most of my time will be spent shooting events.
the problem is what happens after work.
apparently everyone from the team wants to hit a casino one evening, and they keep saying, “you can’t come to vegas and not play blackjack.”
i just laugh and change the subject.
the truth is i’ve never played a single hand in my life. i even caught myself watching beginner videos on youtube because i realized i don’t want to be the person slowing everyone down.
it’s not really about winning money. i’m more worried about looking clueless in front of coworkers. i don’t even know the blackjack table etiquette, like what’s considered normal and what instantly tells the whole table you’re a complete beginner.
did anyone else go to vegas without knowing blackjack beforehand? was it actually as intimidating as i’m imagining?
