Back Story

#Lodestar Gazette, #Lodestar Prompts, #Creative Sparks Prompt provided this prompt, A Crazy Night in Vegas, for me to create a smorgasbord of zany delights. Well, here goes…..

Chapter 1 — Pegasus lost the Wi-Fi for Google Maps

Entrusted with the safe delivery of the genteel Greek mythology gods, Pegasus was excited to show off his brawn and beauty to his beloved Zeus. The whole gang boarded the bus that Pegasus would be pulling behind him with finesse and timeliness.

Except he had lost the WIFI password before he left Olympia and thought he could find Nevada easy enough! After all, he was Zeus’s prize pet.

He was swift and tenacious as he glided to earth. He couldn’t fathom why the Gods would want to travel to the commoners' playground, but he was curious about the “casino", where mere mortals pray for luck and fortune to the Gods in his realm.

Chapter 2 — Re-routing around the city of Las Vegas

Pegasus flew the bus of noisy rulers behind him to the cloud cover of their atmosphere and located brightly lit buildings. We must be close, he thought. But the group wanted to find the Venetian Casino, as Venus lends her personality there for a hedonistic time for mere mortals.

When the Gods noticed the galloping steed flying in circles, they started complaining to Zeus. “Why can’t your pet find this casino?”

Zeus' anger thundered and echoed throughout the sky, getting the attention of the rabble below. Pegasus was embarrassed and put his head down in shame after hearing his master bellow.

Finally, Venus piped up, “There it is Pegasus, near the giant waterfall”. Gladly and regally regaining his composure, he descended to an open area on the ground next to the Venetian Casino.

Chapter 3 — Zeus Loses his Wallet

Zeus being the Almighty, just ask him, was always the first to embark on any excursion or event with the gaggle of God’s. So, once he was safely on the ground, the rest of them hurried off the bus.

Zeus had to get a beverage being parched by the trip, so he was in a great hurry. The rest of the Gods scampered eagerly behind him. They left their weapons, scepters, staff, flames, or pets back in the bus.

Chapter 4 — The Casino Has a Dress Code Policy

The Venetian is a swanky casino designed as a replica of Venice and over 2,500 slot and video poker machines in the heart of Las Vegas scene.

Once the group got to the gilded entrance of the Casino, they were stopped by the security guard. “Hey folks, aren’t you forgetting something", looking over this motley crew.

Everyone in the Gods looked around them before looking bewildered about what this “mere human" was saying. Now it was quite noticeable in many of the God’s attire, was either not there or very skimpy. Some of the God’s were naked and well endowed. Some had a tunic which didn’t meet “the end of your fingertips length".

Zeus went to reach for his pocket of his tunic, looking for his wallet, and started to panic. It wasn’t there!!

He had been aware that “humans" like money and if he were to be able to offer “money" to this guard, perhaps he could look away and allow them to pass through.

“Does any God here have anything monetary with them?” What about a trinket or orb, anything these humans might barter with so we can enter this establishment?”

They started murmuring with one another and came up with nothing. Zeus was becoming enraged. The guard told them to come back when they had vestments to conceal their body parts.

Chapter 5 — Venus Seduces a Security Guard at the Casino

Well, not to be outdone by her male godly counterparts, Venus' sultry look once she walked up the guard, began to soften the man’s facial features. When she touched his cheek, he groaned in ecstasy. She whispered something to him that made him stand up straight.

Then, he said to all, “I will be right back, don’t move, and stay away from the entrance way, lest you freak out our guests!”

Chapter 6 — The Resolution

The security guard came back and had a box of dark green trash bags. He instructed each God to take one and put it on. “Throw one of these trash bags over your head, and make sure your privates are concealed", he snickered.

Each God looked astonished that they were being disrespected by this human. Venus on the other hand, was glowing having just saved this debacle at this Casino.

She didn’t have to don a trash bag. The guard permitted all to enter, except Venus. She grabbed his hand and led him to the gazebo behind trees in the vast lawn. “Come hither", she said so silkily, and he followed her transfixed behind her, dutifully.

The Final Scene

The last of the bags had been fitted to cover, well, you know, parts, and the gang of now formally clad guests, entered the Casino and scattered to the various salons, the buffet line, the tiki bar, the pool, the hot tub, and the slot machines. This was as exciting as when the minotaur couldn’t see the trail of gold cups tied to his tail.

No one saw Venus for a while, assuming she was happily doing what she does best, being the queen “ho". But no worries, she did rendezvous with the rest of her Godly misfits and had boarded the bus back to Olympia, way above the clouds when the Gods had their fill of the entertainment lifestyle.
