Say, you’re right. This place could stand a few decorations.

Maybe a Christmas tree, some lights strung above the bar.

Next year for sure.

Don’t know about a Manger scene, though. Can’t picture competing with Baby Jesus in my own casino.

Just had the Grand Opening last week. Bad timing, I know, but that’s how the chips fell. I suppose I could’ve waited for the New Year’s crowd, but why not get a jump on my customer base?

Another Virgin Mary, coming up. That’ll be two bucks.

Say, my prices are cut to the bone as it is. Down at Wally’s, that drink would’ve cost you three bucks, maybe more. Don’t know how he gets away with it.

‘Course I’ll close for Christmas tomorrow. I’d fear for my immortal soul if I was to allow gambling and carousing in my casino on Christ’s birthday.
