I went on a date to a casino.

Wow, was I bored. I had no idea! Watching a piece of bread dry out and turn moldy would be more fun.  
I cannot imagine anyone of normal IQ and brain structure and not high on something being able to play with a slot machine for more than a couple minutes.

I was also disturbed by the number of air tanks and cigarettes. Apparently that is all safe, but it seems a conflagration could happen in a matter of seconds.

And how could you evacuate a place like that? You would have to wait for most of them to pass out from smoke inhalation and then drag them to safety.  
Least fun date EVER.
