Las Vegas: I Hate You Buffalo Gold Slot Machine

If you somehow found yourself on this installment of this Las Vegas trip report and would like to start at the beginning, go HERE.

I wake up to see my room at Luxor is ready.  I am not staying at Luxor.  I booked it for the dining credit and free play.   I have been trying to burn MLife forever.  But the MyKonami free plays + degenerate keep the offers coming.

I walk over to Aria for breakfast, charging it my room at Luxor  I get an iced coffee to go.  First stop, loading MyKonami free play.  I play at a machine that will not give me money. Not at all.  A woman sits next to me and she plays Wolf Run and she keeps hitting bonus after bonus after bonus.  I get mad and leave.

Las Vegas: The One With The Blurry Photo Of Martha Stewart

If you have landed on this page of this Las Vegas trip report and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

I slept in today, in my Cosmopolitan Marshmallow bed.  I love these beds so much.   No sunrise photo because I slept through it.

First stop is Starbucks.   The line here is so long.  It does move fast, but I hate anyway.

I went to MY Ultimate X video poker machine and she ate $300 without giving me anything, not even one four of a kind.  She must still be recovering from that guy beating her up last night.

I have accumulated some free play so I put it in Dancing Drums and played max bet.

Las Vegas: Almost Hitting a W2G On An 88 Cent Bet

If you have somehow landed here and would like to start reading this Las Vegas trip report from the beginning, go HERE!

I am absolutely fucking exhausted.  It doesn’t help that I am at Cosmopolitan burrowed into a marshmallow bed when my alarm goes off at the ridiculous hour of 5:00 AM. But I am able to get out of bed because gamblor + Starbucks that opens at 5:30.

Lost $200 in Buffalo Max before work.  This would be not really okay normally but I played the last $100 at $7.50 which is less fun degenerate and more dangerous degenerate.

I am starving again mid morning so I go down to District Donuts.  The line is insane.  There are so many groups of people ahead of me.  I had my phone with me which was good because I had to reschedule a work meeting while waiting in this line.

Once work was over, it is time to play!  I love this fucking machine.

Las Vegas: I Got a Royal Flush and A Weather Jackpot

Welcome to day 12 of this Las Vegas trip report.  If you want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

I am up naturally at at California at 4:30 AM.  Decide to gamble before work, always a great idea.

Over to Main Street Station to cash out my TITO from last night and of course, to play some more 50 cent Double Double Bonus video poker.  I lost $100 but I played a bit.  I love the casino on these early weekday mornings.  It is quiet.  There’s few people. I wonder about the people I do see.  Is that woman getting ordering beers from the cocktail waitress still up from last night?  Is that guy up because he lives on the East Coast and cannot sleep past 9:00?  What about that other guy?  Was that his suitcase in my room the other night?

I stopped to get Lapperts on my way back to my room.   The donuts are just being delievered now.  I need a donut.  The nice woman behind the counter was willing to dig through the boxes for me.  I told her to just grab whatever is in the top box.  Maple.  Meh.

Went to get a drink from the vending machine. I went in my pajams, no bra and wearing slippers.  Aaaaaaand I realized too late that I did not have my room key. Normally when I go to the vending machine, I bring a change purse full of all the change I have acquired on my trip, rather than my wallet.  Thankfully today for no reason at all, I had my wallet.  Which I needed to show my ID to get a new key.  I had to walk through the casino in my pajamas, no bra, wearing slippers.  No one batted an eye at me.

Short and Sweet Las Vegas Day

If you somehow ended up here and want to read this Vegas trip report from the beginning, you can go HERE.

I woke up at 6:03 AM, which makes me 3 minutes late to work.  Thankfully I have coffee in my refrigerator from last night.  No time for anything today as I have back to back to back to back to back meetings.  Breakfast was a banana I took from the Wynn spa 3 days ago.  This is one of the top things that grinds my gears while working in Vegas.  Having to forage for food.  I want to sleep in leisurely and go out and order whatever I want for breakfast in a restuarant.  Not scouring my bags to see if there are any edible items in there because I am starving.

Sunrise:

Las Vegas: Someone Else’s Luggage Appears in My Room

This is day 10 of this Vegas trip report.  If you ended up here and would like to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

Woke up naturally at California right before the alarm went off.  Las Vegas sunrise:

Had enough time to go and get real sit down breakfast but then didn’t.   I went to Lapperts.  I dropped my donut and ate it anyway.

Work.  I took a well needed gamble during a break.  I sat down and realized I left both my cigarettes, and my phone in the room so this is going to be very quick.

I am not allowed to play dollar video poker anymore at California but did so anyway.

I got my first $100 up to $140 and then lost $80 and just like that, back to work.  I was gone for less than ten minutes total.

Work all day, hate.  I just want to be on vacation.  I don’t know if I can even whine anymore about how much I have grown to hate working in Vegas.  I want to be free.

I went to get lunch at Circa.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to get Saginaws or Victory Burger. Both sound good right now.  I sit down to play while I decide and got a win on a game who’s name I do not know.

Las Vegas: Dead Bug in My Room, Live Dog in the Casino

Good morning day 9 of this Las Vegas trip!  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

I am up at 7:00 AM.  I don’t even try to see what the line for the coffee kiosk replacing the Wynn Cafe, which is under construction and closed.   I do a mobile order from Urth Café.  I had never noticed this place before, although I knew it existed.  Turns out I never noticed it before because it is a million miles away.   Great coffee, albeit overpriced.

I lose some money in a Buffalo Luxury Line and then some more in Cleopatra Keno.

Fuck it, let’s keep going.  Quarter Double Double Bonus video poker, loser.

These machines were all paying me last night.  Today, nope.

I was able to play Moolah.  There’s only 2 of these machines here and they are normally taken. I can see why:

Las Vegas: Happy Birthday to ME!

Today is day 8 of this Las Vegas trip report.  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning of this trip report, you can go HERE.

Happy fucking birthday to me!  Here is the sunrise from my room at Fremont.

Plans for this morning were to play $100 in Buffalo Keno and then $100 at The D.   Well Bullfao Keno is all taken so instead, I just went degenerate and lost my morning budget without doing either.

At least the machines wish me a happy birthday.

Las Vegas: Birthday Eve Unicow!

Good morning day 7 of this trip!  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

if you read yesterday’s trip report, you know that I spent the day playing all the same machines I have been playing for years and years and years.  This can make for a boring trip report, and also a boring real life experience, especially when you do not get a million dollar win for your efforts.  I decided that today, I will play only machines I have never played before.

I have absolutely no idea what the name of this machine is:
