Good morning from Wynn!  I slept until 8:00 AM and was out by 9:30 AM.  Either I am getting older and slower, or the internet is so much more fascinating that it keeps me from getting out quicker.

Morning room view:
Breakfast is at Terrace Point Cafe. Wynn has three actual restaurtant options for breakfast, which is absolutely unheard of at any other property.  There is also the buffet, the cafe and Urth Cafe in addition to the three restaurants.  I can almost understand never leaving this propery, although that makes me feel like a denegerate loser who never even goes outside.

I love the fruit plates.  I wish the rooms had a refergerator so I could get one to go every time.

Housekeeping knock on the door of my room at Linq at 9:30 AM.  I have a 1:00 check out.  She comes knocking again at 10:30.  I am growing furious.  Could you…not?   I even pointed out the Do Not Disturb sign.  Please do not disturb.

I went down to get breakfast, stopping obviously at my gorgeous Buffalo slot machine.  Last chance to give me money because I am checking out today!  I love this machine so much.  I really do.
Wahoo! Continue reading →

Woke up this morning at Linq.  I slept for nine hours last night, cannot get out of bed.   At all.  So tired.  ZZZZZZZZZZ.  Today is my last day working in Las Vegas during this trip.  I could not be more fucking happy.

I grabbed breakfast at Nook, which is a really little nothing place to grab and go.  I like that they have LARGE iced coffees and are right by the room elevators. This morning, the cash register is not working.  Like just not.  The nice woman said “I guess it is free!” and now it was.  Fun fact:  If you are a customer who says “I guess it is free!” when something does not scan, the cashier is in their right to murder you with their eyes.  But if the cashier says it is free…then you are a winner.

I could not wait for my work day to end because I am just done.  DONE.  My vacation starts the second I close my laptop today.  I am free.  I am ready.  I even scheduled a nap during my work day.

I feel like before I left for Vegas, I have such visions of my trip and how I will be outside and free and going crazy and YAY.  I pictured me bouncing all around on the Vegas Strip, overflowing with excited energy Vegas YAY!

As such, I planned tonight as if I would be bouncing off the walls with excitement.  I booked not only a facial treatment after work today, but I also purchased a ticket to see O.  The more my work day went on, the more I just wanted to log off and go to bed and start my vacation fresh tomorrow.  I think part of this is less physical exhaustion and more mental exhaustion from work.

After work, I had a profitable Buffalo run! Continue reading →

Somehow, I am awake without an alarm at 4:30 AM at the Fremont hotel.   Not sure how since I barely got any sleep because of the band playing on Fremont.  I cannot wait to get away from it.

Beautiful sunrise.  I love Las Vegas in the winter when there is snow in the background.

I went downstairs for iced coffee.  I wanted to play MY Cleopatra Keno machine but they are emptying the bill thingies so Buffalo it is.  I lost $100, then won $100 and decided to go back to Cleo.  Mother fucker.  She is not feeling well.

Up at 5:00 AM at Fremont, after a horrible night’s sleep.  Live bands are back on Fremont, which I had not considered when booking this hotel to work from.  The music went until 1:00 AM, and I have to be up at 5:00 AM for work.  They will do that again every night this week.  My bed was vibrating.   I have stayed at Fremont a million times in my life but I have only worked from here during Covid.  The bands were not playing prior to this trip because of Covid restrictions so I was not expecting this.  I also honestly don’t remember this ever being an issue before Covid?  Am I just that much older that the music is that much louder? I am going to suffer.

I spent way too much time trying to get the lighting in my room to make me not look like a blurry ghost on a morning video call with all of Leadership at work.  I wasn’t too successful.  Oh well?

I did like being up in time to see the sunrise.  I cannot say enough times how much I love sunrise in Las Vegas.  That feeling of a fresh, new day.  The idea that anything can happen.   Those first early morning steps in a quiet casino.  The knowledge that if you  have a heart attack from winning a million dollars, the paramedics will be able to reach you easier while the casino is still empty. Eye on the prize mother fucker!

I wake up at Harrahs at 6:47 AM.   I really need to cut the internet out of my life because I wasted an hour doing nothing.

I went down and got Starbucks.  There were 37 people in line in front of me.  Fucking kill me.

I played some single line Ultimate X / Double SuperTimes Pay and hit 3s.  YAY.

Walked over to Mirage to use my MyKonami free play.   The first machine I tried kept telling me that my balance was too low to play it.  Fuck you.

Second machine took both my free play and $20 of my hard earned cash.

I went over to Happy Prosperous.   Sometimes I like to randomly hit max bet.  Not often.  But sometimes.  I did this on the first spin and got the bonus.   Holy shit I am going to be rich!
