Las Vegas: From Cosmopolitan to California Hotel

Leave a reply

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

Leave a reply

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.

Las Vegas Blog: Sweet Las Vegas Suite

Wednesday, June 8, 2005 – Day Four of Ten

Up at?  I have no idea what time I woke up.  I went downstairs and back to nickel video poker.  I’ll tell you, a $5 bill on nickel video poker goes a long way.

Keeping up with my “want to stay at every hotel” shtick, I once again check out and once again switch hotels.  Today it’s the California hotel downtown.   The cab driver starts to take me in circles downtown.  I tell him “the California is the other way.”  He starts to argue a bit.   I start to argue louder.  He then apologizes and tells me that he is very upset.  He heard on the radio that 100 people in his country were shot this morning and he is very worried about his family.   I honestly don’t know if he was jerking me around or not, I just don’t know.  I told him it was okay and just to turn around and go back towards the California.  He did and that was the end of that.

Saturday, December 13, 2008 – Day Two of Twenty One

I wake up at the California hotel.  My big plan of sleeping in is foiled by the light pouring in from the window shutters. Noooooooo. I’ve read people complain about how Main Street Station and the California have shutters instead of curtains and the light pours in. I never understood it, who goes to Las Vegas to sleep? But now I’m TRYING TO SLEEP and the light wakes me up. I’ll get over it.
