oink #4 Here is how we figured it out.
1. Labels can be misleading! There isn't any of this metal or calculators from the lone star state to be found!
Misleading labels means it does not mean what you think it means we figured it out to mean Ti which is the symbol for titanium but on the strip it is the initials for Treasure Island which is flashing on a huge sign out front.
2. Oh and those aren't police cars that you hear either.
This one we had problems with but it became apparent when we started looking around. The show out in front of Treasure Island is a pirate show with huge boats on one of the boats are Sirens ( the mythological temptresses of sailors).
3. But to be sure, you need to go to the highest viewing level.
4.Once you do, turn your back on the action and find the beam ! Not Jim you idiot ! It's Woody, his square cousin!!
5. OINK # 4 is sitting there waiting for you !!!!!
6. This one is going to cost you.
These all kind of go together, we figured it would be a bar because Busse seams to be drawn to those so we thought of the bar at T.I. & a place that would you would be able to see the show from a bar that had beams in it & had a drink minimum or a cover to get in.So off we went at around 10:00 pm Las Vegas time.
We unfortunately went to T.I. during the show which means there are about 800 people crammed on the front of the walk way in front of the hotel to watch the show. we talked to a security guard about what we were doing & he said there was a bar on the other side of the lake thing in front of the hotel but we had to wait until the show started to cross or wait a half hour for it to be over. so we crossed this bridge during the show infront of everyone, kind of embarrassing but hey we are looking for INFI. When we got to the other side we went to go in but we met this mountain of a man standing there blocking our way.We told him of our plight & he said unfortunately the V.I.P. bar section was under construction & no one is allowed in there!!!!!!!! So we started watching the show & kept thinking. about 10 minutes later I thought we could go inside & look around maybe it was not in the bar? As we looked I saw a suit that looked like he was in charge, as luck would have it he was the floor manager & talked to him he had said that the bar was under construction & no one was allowed out there for insurance reasons. After I had explained that we looking for a tag that a custom knife maker left earlier in the week that we had been looking for 2 days for it, we started thinking we were on the wrong track, but then I asked when did construction start? he said a couple of days ago then I knew we were on the right track. We asked if we could just take a look real quick & see if there was anything out there. He paused & said he is going to do us a favor & do something he never does & led us to a door he unlocked all the while saying this place is under construction & if something happens to us we will not do any thing to the casino. Keep in mind now we are directly behind a huge show going on, it is dark,explosions are going on, loud music & an audience was watching the show & us!!! We went to a little platform that I guess had a few small tables on it & had a false balcony above it supported by wooden beams My friend Dave reached behind one & I behind the other & he pulled out Oink #4 handed it to me & we got out of there. Unfortunately while we where out there people from inside the casino spilled out through the door to watch the show & the manager had to show them back in.
