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.

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.

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.

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:

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:

Welcome to day six of this trip report!  If you are looking to start at the beginning, go HERE.

This morning begins at Fremont hotel.  I slept in late.  Which apparently now means 9:00?

Out, stopping at Dunkin Donuts, obvs.  I played some single line Ultimate X Double Double Bonus video poker and hit 3s!

Welcome to day three of this trip report.  If you are lost and want to start at the beginning, go HERE.

Oh what a shitty day.  Woke up at Paris on day 3, somewhat on time for work.

Sunrise:

There needs to be a law about lines for food at 6:00 AM.  If your line has more than 2 people in it at 6:00 AM, you need to open another line.  The line at Cafe Belle Madeleine is so long.  Cafe Americano is open, but their comps redemption is 2-1, so fuck you.

Work work work all day like a jerk.  I hate working from Vegas.

I went out with $300 – did great on Buffalo. I missed taking one photo but have these:
