Hi Las Vegas, although you may as well be Oklahoma for all the fun I am going to have while working from my room today.

I went to Starbucks and people did not know how to form a line at all.  The employees had to sort that out, which took a bit of yelling “EXCUSE ME, LADY ON THE PHONE, THE LINE IS THIS WAY.”

The woman in front of me had resort credit she wanted to use up.  Perfectly acceptable.  Except she kept asking “how much is it now” about her total after each single item, but we started at like $20 and she made her way up to $80 so we didn’t really need to be asking after the first 3884798347 items now did we.

I also have resort credit to use up and I will also use it at Starbucks before I check out, but I will be less annoying.

I HATE WORKING FROM LAS VEGAS OMG I WAS TRYING TO STOP SAYING THIS IN EVERY TRIP REPORT BUT I CANNOT STOP MYSELF.

Tonight I have a Thai shampoo treatment booked and then I move to Encore.  I am actually not going to Soulo spa, because I had $100 in Groupon credit so I bought a Groupon for Mutao Spa. I did not think this one through when booking it because it is on Spring Mountain, but I did not leave time to check into Encore before my appointment, nor did I use all my resort credit so I have to come back anyway.  Oh well.

The shampoo was great.  I cannot say this enough – if you have never had someone else wash your hair while you are laying down, you are missing out.

I took an Uber to Mandalay Bay to eat at Citizens again and it was closed!  I ended up eating at Flanker, I am not a fan.   Got some crap with the rest of my resort credit and could not leave Luxor fast enough.  I am NEVER staying here again.

Uber to Encore.  I had done a mobile check in and it spit out my key without issue.  I decided to go to the front desk anyway to ensure I got a smoking room.  He had one for me and switched my room.  He asked if I wanted Strip view or mountain view.  I told him I could not care less.

Well for the first time in my life, I got a view of The Sphere!  Wahoo!  You can see it on Instagram HERE.

If you do not have Instagram, no worries.  I am sure I will post a million photos of it before I check out!

Here is my beautiful room:
And my beautiful ashtray!  IN THE ROOM!
And as if things could not get better, Cafe Treato now lets you do mobile ordering charging to your room!  That is fucking brilliant.  No more waiting on the insane line just to use my resort credit, what?  I love you.

My gambling budget tonight is limited to my freeplay.  I thought I had $75 and then $9 in points.  Wrong.  I had $75 and then $45 in point play.   COULD THIS BE A MORE PERFECT FIRST FIFTEEN MINUTES IN A LAS VEGAS HOTEL?

What’s that you said?  Yes it could?  I don’t see how.  Oh wait, now I do.

FUCK.

I cashed out with $480 – although I had gotten up to $500 but come on, I had to try one last time.

I went to the room to not go degenerate.  I do want to play MY Ultimate X but hopefully the room break does me good.

All I need now is to find a penny on heads!

I had every intention of burning Wynn on this stay.  They usually only send me 2 night offers and I hate 2 night stays.  They do not give you wifi unless you pay the resort fee so fuck you, no.  So I cannot work from here.  And they no longer give me weekends because I have tried to burn them.  But since I am off for two days for the holiday AND they were nice enough to include these dates on my plithy offer, I am here.  And I don’t want this to be my last time here.  But I am not, I repeat: I AM NOT, going to play to earn future offers.  If you want me to play to get future offers, then your machines need to fully fund it and while $480 is great, I don’t know if its great enough to fund future offers.

I went back out with $80 to play MY Ultimate X video poker machine.  She is always so nice to me.  She wasn’t tonight. But then on the last hand she said “just kidding LOL”
I came back to the room hungry but don’t trust myself to go back out and lose my wins.   Good thing I have 329874834 protein bars from both packing to work from the room and being a cheap fuck who cannot let resort credit go without going shopping at Starbucks.

And that’s a wrap of a perfect day.  Minus the working part.
