Dog morning Las Fucking Vegas! Yes that is an intentional pun! Hello Bellagio fountain view! HI! I love you!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS LIKE WHOA!!!!!
I am up at 8:30 and out at 10:30. Not so much because lazy slob, but mostly “LOOK AT MY VIEW!!!” I mean, come on now. It is beautiful.
Speaking of beautiful, before breakfast I play some Cleopatra Keno and hit 7/9 for $100 YAY!
Good morning Las Vegas day 12! I am up at 7:50 at Flamingo, and out at 8:15. I have a collection of pennies with me to throw in the fountain outside in the Flamingo Habitat for good luck.
Starbucks! I play MY Buffalo slot machine at Linq. Lose the first $100 bill, double the second.
I now decide to play my Flamingo Buffalo machine for the first time during my stay here. I turn two $100 bills into $300 each. YAY. Continue reading
I am up at 8:30 at Flamingo on day 11. As I am typing this many months later, I am getting residually annoyed that I would prefer not being a daytime person, and being a night person. But I am a slave to the reduced iced coffee hours. I cannot go out at 3:00 AM when the drunks go to bed, and then go to bed myself when the vacations wake up. Because ICED COFFEE MOTHER FUCKER.
I am starving and we are still in the “mandatory reservations” portion of the pandemic. It is so difficult to find anywhere that has an opening. After trying way too many places, finally I am given an 11:45 reservation at The Pantry at Mirage.
Mirage is so pretty.
Happy fucking New Year! Goodbye 2020.
I am up at 8:00 and out at 9:00.
I lose $100 on Ultimate X video poker . Then a second $100 bill gets me 7s x 4 = $200 cash out.
I go back to my room to pack and go. I am moving to Flamingo today, and I decide to take the bus to kill some time between losses.
The bus is completely fine until the stop before mine. A homeless guy gets on, no mask. Snot dropping from his nose to his chin, it actually looks green. Not sure why he was allowed to board. I kind of want to offer him a mask but don’t want to get anywhere near him. Thankfully, I am off the bus seconds after he gets on.
Las Vegas trip report day 9! Happy New Year’s Eve!
I am up at 7:00 and out at 9:00. You might think this means it takes me 2 hours to get ready, but the joke is on you. I haven’t showered and I am wearing filthy clothes. I am just a lazy slob.
I am supposed to take the bus to Emerald Island but I opt for an Uber instead because aforementioned lazy slob. My driver assumes I live in Henderson, does not occur to him that I am a tourist. This happens to me often.
Even though I have been to Emerald Island before, it has been so long since my last visit that I am considered a new player and get new player stuff. Such as a coupon book that includes free meals if I hit 50 points, which I do.
FINALLY get a win on Buffalo Chief.
Another day working in Las Vegas, another day up at 5:00 am in Las Vegas. What makes this day special though, is that this is the day my vacation actually starts once I am done with work.
I learned that I cannot get breakfast until 6:00 when things open, so I sneak in some Buffalo while waiting. The hope was to win a million dollars so that I can go back to bed rather than into a video meeting. I won, but was missing quite a few zeros and work meeting it was.
You can tell I am super anxious to LET’S GO because I am playing max bet, which is out of my price range. Or you can tell how degenerate I am because I was playing out of my price range.
Good morning Las Vegas day 6!
I am up at 5:00 am at Circa so I can get breakfast and be at work at 6:00 AM. Fun fact: I am actually lying because I am really up at 5:00 AM so I can gamble a bit before starting work.
I really like gambling before work. It is a weird feeling, and also I love the fantasy of winning a million dollars and then not going to work. You know, I am going to add “stick to huge progressive machines” to my before work gambling routine going forward.

It is day five in Las Vegas and I am awake at 7:30 AM at Circa.
My morning view. I love the morning view in Las Vegas. You look outside and know ANYTHING can happen today. I also find myself fantasizing about running away from life, maybe getting a drivers license and driving into those mountains in the background just to see where they lead.
I shower and get dressed and am ready to hit the town at 9:30. I really should do more hitting the town in Las Vegas, rather than just going back and forth between the same casinos all the time. But I won’t.
When I get to the casino, I stay away from my usual money stealing machines and try some Dragon Link Spring Festival. I doubled four $20 bills and lost the 5th.
Next I try Peacock Princess. I lose a $20 and then double a $20.
Buffalo Deluxe! I lose $80 and then lose $100. Why do I do this? Like seriously, why. When I type up these trip reports, I just get so mad at myself. I am fiiiiiiine with losing, fine with repeatedly losing on Buffalo. But why do I keep putting more money in when I am losing? Because of those sporadic big wins? Oh yeah, that is why. Because of those sporadic big wins. Sigh.
Breakfast is me grabbing McDonalds at Plaza.
Then, since I cannot smoke in my room, I smoke a cigarette at a Buffalo slot machine before taking a nap. Buffalo does not hate me during this session.

Good morning Las Vegas! Today is day 4. I am waking up at California Hotel at 7:30 AM.
I am out at 8:50 and make a bee line for Binions, to have breakfast at their coffee shop. Still using the app for dining credit.
I stop and play some Buffalo before eating. I lost a $20, turned a second $20 into $120 and lost a third $20. I have no photos except this one of Circa! Where I am checking into today YAY.
I take an Uber to go buy cigarettes and then return to California to do some quick playing before checking out. I also stopped to pay my hotel bill, a whopping $4.61, in cash.
I played Buffalo Diamond and finally beat this shitty game.
Despite this busy morning, I am back in my room at 10:20 AM. I pack my crap and move on.
Las Vegas Christmas trip starts at 6:30 when I wake up at 6:30 for no reason at all. I can barely make it to work ten feet from my bed by 9:00. Vegas? Can’t even sleep until 9:00 am.
I am out at 8:15. Breakfast again is at Market Street Cafe, paid with comps.
I go back to my room to grab the Dunkin Donuts coffee I smartly brought back last night and left in my refrigerator, to stop me from having to walk to go get iced coffee. OF FUCKING COURSE the refrigerator setting is too cold so it is kind of like a coffee smoothie. I tried using the hair dryer to melt it. It kind of not really worked. Damn me and my fucking ideas.
Over to Binions I go for some Wonder Four Buffalo.
$100 – $167, cashed out at $160
$100- $238, cashed out $200
