Today is day 8 of this Las Vegas trip report. If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning of this trip report, you can go HERE.
Happy fucking birthday to me! Here is the sunrise from my room at Fremont.
Plans for this morning were to play $100 in Buffalo Keno and then $100 at The D. Well Bullfao Keno is all taken so instead, I just went degenerate and lost my morning budget without doing either.
At least the machines wish me a happy birthday.
Welcome to part 5 of this Las Vegas trip report! If you are lost and want to start at the beginning, go HERE.
Day 5 in Las Vegas. More importantly, day OFF in Las Vegas. No work for me! I am up at 8:30 and a happy to be free.
I slowly go about getting ready. I am starving but I am out of reward credits. I don’t want to pay for food so I just get iced coffee to hold me over until I move Downtown today.
I put 5 $100 bills in Buffalo and leave with $500.
Day 10 Las Vegas trip report!
I woke up at Cosmopolitan. At 5:00 AM. View from my balcony:
Was on the world’s longest Starbucks line at 6:00. That’s a thing in Las Vegas in current times, Starbucks lines. They are fucking insane. I stayed at Luxor, where Starbucks opens at 6:00 AM. I moseyed over at 5:59 and the line was incredibly long. Don’t even get me started with the Flamingo Starbucks of death, where the line never ends and goes out the door. These places used to be 24 hours. I fear this is never coming back.
I played my favorite Ultimate X Double Double Bonus video poker game and whoooooahhhhhhhhhhhh yay.
Good morning Las Fucking Vegas!
I wake up at Treasure Island at 9:45. I am out at 10:45. I am not staying here tonight but since I am burning them, I booked the comp for tonight so I did not have to check out until I felt like it.
Reservations at all restaurants are still needed in Vegas during this trip. I was able to score one for 12:45 at The Pantry at Mirage. I cannot wait until the days of going to eat when you are hungry are back. I hate having to keep track of time for meals.
I stopped at Starbucks, and then went to my Ultimate X video poker machine. Lost 2 $100 bills before hitting this:
Also hit this:

Day 6 Las Vegas trip report starts at Fremont. I am up early today to go to the spa at Flamingo. I need a break from all the losing. My breakfast was some left over chips from Saginaws that I have been holding onto for a couple of days. Then off to Flamingo we go!
I booked a Happy Feet Remedy. I had this on my last trip and it was great then, and it was great now.
After the spa, I obviously got Starbucks and went to visit my Buffalo slot machine at Linq. Someone is playing it. Fine, I will play another machine with you in my line of sight. Holy shit this chick had a death grip on my machine. I am not leaving. I won’t be back around here for the rest of the trip, so I wait her out.
Some guy comes up to her with a bunch of to go food, including boxes of pizza. I think okay, she is going to get up now. Nope. She is playing and keeps hitting bonuses. When she does, she stops and sits back to watch. Forever. She sat there with her food getting cold for a good half hour before she fucking FINALLY got up. MINE.
Day four of my losing Las Vegas trip report. Yeargh.
I am up at 8:00 AM. I shower and finish packing. I am gung ho to move hotels. I don’t want to be at The Plaza anymore, I definitely do not ever again want to be inside the casino. I don’t have change for housekeeping so I leave a $20 because I do not want to go downstairs to break a bill.
I attempt to leave through the South exit as I had yesterday and today it is locked. So I now need to walk alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way through the casino unnecessarily.
I cash out my Golden Gate TITO on my walk. And ahhhhhhhhh I am at Fremont. My favorite hotel in all of Las Vegas, which I know is crazy but I love it so much here, I love it so much, I LOVE YOU FREMONT.
I got room 626.
Las Vegas trip report day 2. Or maybe day 1.5. I could not sleep at all in my room at Plaza. It simply would not cool down. No I did not call the front desk.
I am up at 4:30 AM and kill some time before the Dunkin Donuts at Fremont opens at 5:30. There is rain in the forecast for today.
Last day of this Las Vegas trip report WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I start my day at California hotel in beautiful Downtown Las Vegas I had set my alarm for 4:00 AM but it turns out I set it for 4:00 PM instead of AM because I am a fucking asshole. I did wake up at 6:00 AM though and am out at 6:41 AM.
Love the cotton candy sunrise!
Day 18 of this Las Vegas trip report sees me up at 8:00 at California Hotel. I do not go out until 10:30 because I am a slave to restaurant reservations and that was the first open spot Market Street Café had for breakfast after I had showered. Should have called earlier. I just cannot get into the groove of this reservation thing.
In the café, I am seated less than 6 feet away from what would have been a flip flop wearing Fred Flinstone. Except he didn’t have his Flinstone feet in the flip flops so they were just out there in the wide open.
I had Eggs Benedict, which were good.
After eating, I lost $100 on quarter Double Double Bonus video poker. Then I lost $100 on Ultimate X Bonus Streak video poker. Then I went over to Circa where holy shit! Not only did I get 15 Buffalo heads for the second time in my life, it was the second time on this trip!

Las Vegas day 17 of this monstrous trip report!
I am up at 9:30 at California. I am woken up by the phone ringing. I am checking into Luxor today and Luxor’s spa is calling me to let me know that I can get an earlier appointment than what I have scheduled. I can’t really change it though since I am checking in just to get my $100 resort credit and $50 free play. I need to have a room to charge the spa to my room, so I can use the credit.
I went to get breakfast at Binions, using an app reward. I have to say it, by this point in the trip, and for the first time in my life, I am sick of breakfast here. The hash browns taste like movie popcorn butter. I’ve never noticed that before and I don’t like it.
While I was eating, I got a notification that my Luxor room was ready. So I went back to my room at California to change my spa appointment and then headed to Luxor.
I checked in and got a one bedroom suite. These are wasted on me because non smoking so I won’t stay here. Probably shouldn’t have messed the bed up before photos + I normally don’t mess the bed up. Lots of people do this. You know, so that housekeeping doesn’t report you didn’t stay. I don’t think they actually do this / anyone would care. So why I messed this bed up at all, nevermind before taking photos, is a mystery.
