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:

Ahhhhhhhh yes.  I am flying to Las Vegas for my birthday.  This was supposed to be a quick long weekend trip.  Then I added some days.  Then some more.  Then spoiler alert: I added even more when I was there.  I think this was a 4 night trip that ended up being 21?  Whoops?

I have a flight at 6:13 AM.  I have so much JetBlue credit that is finally expiring so I had more than enough to overpay for a Mint flight so I did that.   When I booked, rows 2 and 4 were filled.  2 had one open seat late at night on the 30th, so I nabbed it woo hoo, total privacy!

I rarely fly early so here are some photos from the plane that I normally cannot get.
