I slept horribly at Fremont last night and finally give up trying at 6:30 AM and get started with my day.
Start out with a loss on Buffalo Cash Express. Head over to Four Queens and for some reason, play dollar Double Double Bonus video poker.
OH HEY LOOKIT.
I went to the Player’s Club to cash out my points for a jeweled pig. I have had my eye on this for absolutely no fucking reason and decide that since I am never going to Magnolias again, may as well use my points for this.
I went to The D to use my free play here and lost it. But I did end up with a Buffalo win.
I head back to my room and realized I did not cash out at The D. WHY GOD WHY. I have to go back to do that.
I do some last playing at Fremont before checking out and I can’t win shit.
I check out and choose a priority Lyft since the other options have long waits. The driver showed up in 3 minutes rather than the promised 2 and I got a refund on the priority part. Did I uncover a weird glitch here?!
My next hotel is Treasure Island. There is the normal line, and the invited guest line. I always go to the normal line (all my stays here, there have been zero people on either line) but today I go to the invited guest line. There are 2 dudes wearing masks as chin straps being “helped” but they weren’t really being helped. They were just kind of standing at the counter, talking something out to each other, while the check in person just watched them. No idea at all what was going on there. But finally I got my room.
I decided I was going to burn Treasure Island and make this my last stay because the casino hates me. I now, as I am typing this months later, regret this immensely. Treasure Island is a perfect working-from-Vegas hotel. Starbucks, CVS, quick pizza. I am sorry Treasure Island, I should have loved you more.
I get room 36059. It is smaller than my normal rooms, probably because I have been burning them.
I love so much that they give you this at check in. I wish every hotel did.
Shitty room view.
It is 12:41.
I grab Starbucks and walk to MY Ultimate X video poker machine. There is a maskless dude on MY machine. I am really not sure why, but I motion for him to pull it up. I have never done this before. But he apologizes and does so, so I guess I am lucky he didn’t punch me out?
For the next couple of days, him and I would end up both at these 2 machines nonstop. There’s only 2.
I had $75 free play and left with a profit.
I grabbed some stuff from CVS and went back to the room for a nap.
I wake up and go downstairs to grab some pizza. There is a kid SCREAMING for its mother. Iook and the mom is playing a slot machine while the dad is holding back the SCREAMING kid from bolting over to its mother. Wonderful.
I grab pizza and head back to my room, where there is now a party going on next door. YAY.
I went back out at 10:00 PM and walked over to Wynn. I took my lucky penny out of my bra and threw it in the waterfall.
I play some slots around Wynn.
And some video poker.
Back to Treasure Island and play some Ultimate X. My “friend” got a handpay. I could not see what he got. He tried talking to me while waiting to be paid but it didn’t work for him.
And then off to bed I went.
