The entertainment center.

While staying at the Luxor casino in Las Vegas, I needed access to the Internet. The desk clerk told me that my room had Internet access and that there were connection instructions in my room. Well, I checked my room for instructions and found none. So, I turned on my laptop to see if they used WiFi. No WiFi.

Since there wasn’t any WiFI, there must be a cable connection of some sort. So, I started scanning the walls for a data drop of some sort but I couldn’t find any. Next, I did a scan of the entertainment center/wardrobe. There was nothing around the TV but when I opened the wardrobe, there was the cable modem. Feeling the back of the cable modem, I determined that all of the cables exited the rear of the wardrobe and went somewhere but where.

In particular, I was interested in the cable that I needed to connect to my laptop. I looked on either side of the entertainment center/wardrobe but could not find the cable that I needed. Then, I got a chair and decided to look on top of the entertainment center/wardrobe thinking that maybe it was up there.

The top of the entertainment center/wardrobe did not yield the needed cable but I did find it quite interesting. There was a box of condoms with one unused condom in it, two empty condom wrappers and a glass for a mixed drink.

Why would anyone put their condoms, empty condom wrappers and drink glass on top of the entertainment center/wardrobe? Why wouldn’t they keep their condoms in the night stand, throw away the empty wrappers and put their drink glass out in the hallway for the staff to pick up?

Ah! As I see it, the room service only empties the waste baskets in the morning when they make up the rooms. Likewise with the glasses and dishes in the hallway. So, if someone were having an afternoon tryst, come evening, the empty glass would still be in the hallway and the empty wrappers would still be in the waste basket. This, of course, would lead to the possibility of being caught by their significant other. So, to avoid being caught, the evidence was dumped on top of the entertainment center/wardrobe where it would be out of sight. After all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I guess the entertainment center is really the center for entertainment.
