Las Vegas Trip Report: I Hate the Chelsea Tower at Cosmopolitan

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:

Las Vegas Trip Report: Visiting MY Buffalo Slot Machine at Linq

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.

Las Vegas Trip Report: Leaving Plaza YAY

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: That Time Someone Vomited Outside My Hotel Room

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.

Farewell Las Vegas! I Will Be Back Soon!

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!

Las Vegas Strip Crawl

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: Luxor Super Suite Times Pay

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.

Las Vegas: From Cosmopolitan to California Hotel

Day 16 of Las Vegas trip report continues as I am up at 8:00 AM at Cosmopolitan.  I am pretty bummed I missed sitting outside on my balcony as the sun rises.  Oh well, maybe next time.

I grab some Starbucks and get to playing.  My favorite Ultimate X video poker machine is back up. I turn a $100 bill into $160.  I want to keep playing but I have to go back up to the room to get ready to check out.

I pack and get ready to go.  On my way out of Cosmopolitan, I stop at my Ultimate X machine on my way out.  I am dealt Aces!

Las Vegas: Buffalo Slots and Double Double Bonus Video Poker

Las Vegas day 15!  Waking up at Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.  How much do I love my balcony?

I am up at 10:00 and out at 11:00.  I try some Buffalo.  I am going degenerate. I cannot stop.  I cannot get any bonus, I will not stop until I get the bonus.  I move between machines, putting a $100 bill into three of them with nothing.  I have lost today’s budget.  I still don’t stop.

I try a new machine and thank you Buffalo gods for saving me.

Vegas Blog: Gorgeous Cosmopolitan Balcony Fountain View Room

If I keep adding “Vegas blog” to all my titles, maybe I will start ranking in Google as a Las Vegas blog!  Good morning Las Vegas day fourteen!  I am awake at Bellagio.  I apparently wrote “I HATE MYSELF” in my notes.   YAY.

I am awake at 7:30, which kind of sucks because I wanted to see the fountains as the sun was rising.  But I have now missed that.   Even with sleeping with the drapes open.  Oh well.

Here is a photo from last night:

I also have a video of the fountains.   Yes, there is a channel that plays the music in the room.  No, it was not working during my stay.
