Good morning Las Vegas! I don’t know what time I woke up since apparently I haven’t been notating times of day on this trip. I also haven’t been checking my horoscope. I am however, still addicted to Dunkin Donuts and off to get iced coffee I go. The Dunkin Donuts at Fremont has mobile ordering (shhh, don’t tell anyone!) but they will make your coffee, clearly see someone standing under the sign “pick up mobile orders here” and never check to see if maybe this coffee is yours. I always have to ask someone to hand it to me.
I went to The D to finish up the Las Vegas Advisor coupon. My first $20 got me a win, the rest, not so much.
I played Cleopatra Keno, some more video poker, including single line quarter Ultimate X video poker. I lost my lighter, which pissed me off since it was from Turkey. I played Buffalo and a whole lot of nothing. Time to give up.
The Las Vegas Advisor coupon got me $50 and I lost that in Buffalo. This is where I should have left and instead, played Dancing Drums. This is why we have bad habits. We get rewarded.
New Year’s Eve starts at Fremont hotel at 4:00 AM because I never went to bed last night. I realized that I never used up my Flexibile Spending Account for 2021 so today is the last day. I pulled out my laptop and cross referenced between the FSA store and Target to order about $300 worth of stuff I definitely don’t need, but I will lose the funds if I do not purchase today.
I am awake at Fremont hotel at 10:30 AM. I had originally considered going to an MLife property as I am checked into Excalibur and have about $90 resort credit left on my offer. But I instead went around doing the same thing I always do, just gamble. I honestly have no idea why people like reading these things sometimes, I feel like I am the most boring person on Earth.
I wake up at Fremont this morning. This is my favorite hotel. The casino mostly hates me, but the ease of getting a large iced coffee early morning evens that out. Fremont is going non smoking in December, just the rooms. I have a reservation that I am going to keep because I love the hotel. But having to put a bra on to smoke really isn’t something I want to do. I predict I will have some $100 cigarettes.
I am awake at The D at 4:00 AM. Back in the old days before Covid, I would have skipped to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks and enjoyed having the casino all to myself. Now though, neither are open at 4:00 AM so I dick around the room for a bit before heading outside.
I wake up at 10:00 AM at Sahara. I have an appointment to get a massage today. I want to blow dry my hair since I had added on a scalp massage, but there is no hair dryer in the room.
I slept in at Planet Hollywood this morning. I had iced coffee in my refrigerator so I could skip a never ending line at Starbucks this morning. I need to do this more often.
