Up at Fremont at 7:00 AM to begin my last day of this trip.  I am depressed not only because it is my last day, but also because last night was one of those nights I could not get ANYTHING going.  Will today be like that too?  God I hate.

I am starting my day at Binions.  Look at how lonely this ATM is.  I hope I don’t have to spend some time with her at any point today.

I am up at 7:00 and out by 7:45.  Today I am going to revisit the Strip.  I am smart enough to have thought ahead to getting Dunkin Donuts last night to keep in my refrigerator so I could have a large iced coffee while playing at Bellagio this morning.

It is fucking HOT outside.  Like the hot where the sun burns your eyes and they really hurt.  I had to wait 17 minutes for my Uber.  This is abnormally long for this trip, albeit at this time last year, I would have been psyched just to be able to get one at all.

I watched as my driver passed by me on his way to drop off the person before me at Four Queens.  Please pick me up on the way, I need air conditioning?

My plans for Bellagio are to play the Dancing Drums machine I won on last trip, play some Cleopatra Keno and some Buffalo.  I have enough comps for the buffet.  Even though I am not a fan of it, I am less of a fan of leaving comps on the table.

I play Dancing Drums.  Woo hoo, this is going to plan!

Oh wow what a morning here at Fremont.  I slept horribly.  I had so many dreams about work, oof.  The last dream was one of my former employees was trying to kill me.  As his knife is coming down towards my chest, I jump up awake, heart pounding.  Sweating.  Then I realized I was almost 2 hours late to work!  Holy shit, I slept in big time and simply missed an important meeting with my former manager, while dreaming about being stabbed by a former employee.   Way to be an adult.  I also missed 2 meetings with my employees.  Damn all of them for thinking something was wrong and I was in the hospital, rather than thinking I had won a million dollars and quit my job.

Ran down to get Dunkin Donuts.  God bless the mobile app.  Now I am going to be starving all day because I have back to back meetings. I still need to shower before going out after work.  At least it is my Friday?

I woke up at Four Queens at 4:30 AM.  Shower and out to Dunkin Donuts.  Lost some money around Fremont.  Would be losing money to earn my keep at Four Queens, but more than half the casino is still blocked off while they replace their carpeting.

Normally the incidental hold on comped rooms at Four Queens is $20.  They have a hold on my credit card for $201.70, which makes me think I am going to have issues at checkout because it looks like they are charging me for the room.

I went to get breakfast at McDonalds because it is the easiest thing to grab before work.  Well today is was the opposite.  All the credit card readers are down so you have to pay in cash.  But the cash part is down too.  The poor cashier has to add up totals manually and figure out change manually.  She has to keep going in the back to get change.  I don’t know why they didn’t pull the drink guy to help, he was just standing around as the orders were going through insanely slow due to the paying issue. But I don’t manage McDonalds so I am sure there are reasonings I am unaware of.

Woke up at Cosmopolitan, late for work, probably due to being a gamblor of the degenerate family last night.

Down and lost $300 on Buffalo Max, before hitting Starbucks.  I stocked up on drinks here.  Trenta iced coffee, please!  Also Trenta Pineapple Refresher WITH WATER.  And the largest iced water you can give me.  YAY.

Then back to my room where I have a three hour meeting.  THREE HOURS. Would have loved taking it on the balcony but WiFi and mobile hot spots are too weak out here.   The mobile hot spot maybe because I am so high up?

At some point at the end of this meeting, we get an email from the company owner announcing layoffs are coming by the end of September.   So now I am not free due to this three hour meeting ending.  I am now being pinged by so many of my employees asking if they are being laid off.  I don’t know, I got the news the same way you did.  Yeargh.

Even though I am booked at Cosmopolitan tonight, I have to move tonight.   I packed my shit and stopped by Dancing Drums and MY Ultimate X video poker machine on my way out.

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.

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.

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.
