Most of the guys on Andy's hockey team in Vegas are high functioning alcoholics. Although from gamelive standards, this story probably will look pretty tame.
We used to have diamond status at the Harrah's properties. Diamond status gets you access to the Diamond Lounges free food (appetizers) and drinks. I don't remember how we worked it out, but we brought some of the hockey team with us one night after the game to the lounge at Paris. Our friend Dave, went to the bathroom and never came back. We looked everywhere and just figured he wandered off. We made a serious search and were concerned for him. Not necessarily for his person, but for what his wife who had just come home from the hospital with their second child, was going to do to him when he didn't make it home. Eventually, after an exhaustive search, and seeing his car still in the parking garage, we all went home and figured that it would work out somehow.
Danny, who was friends with Dave and his wife, talked to her and agreed to go back to Paris for one more look. He found him by noticing his shoes under the bathroom stall door. The bathrooms in Paris are a very private affair with heavy wood doors on each stall and walls that go all the way to the ceiling. Danny shimmied under to rouse Dave.
Drunken Dave had gone to the bathroom, dropped his phone in the toilet, gave up on life and passed out. When he was awoken by Danny, he just wanted to leave. The bathroom attendant insisted that the phone be fished out of the toilet. After a back and forth, the attendant ended up getting the phone, and Dave went home to a very angry wife.
We are never allowed to bring Dave to the Diamond Lounge again per threat of bodily harm from Jill, Dave's wife.
The end.
Not the best of stories but, I'm still driving across Utah and meh....why not.
