Once again, I went to bed in Vegas with the blinds open so that the sun was my alarm clock. I am still at Fremont hotel. This morning I lingered around my room for awhile to delay my scheduled degeneracy. I was out by 9:30.
I stopped at the Cleopatra Keno machines near the lobby. These machines are a mere 43 steps from the room elevators. Super convenient for me.
I lost $10 before winning $55. I cashed out with $53.
Breakfast was at Binions today, using comps. Once I was done eating, I continued on my quest to play a minimum of $20 in every Downtown casino. For all the time I spend down here, it sure has been a long time since I have darkened the doors of Golden Nugget and Golden Gate. Maybe I just don’t like gold?
My first stop though, was Plaza. I have a free play coupon and I want to win big with it. The gambling gods denied me my wish.
Next was Golden Gate. I haven’t been in here since the renovations. It looks completely different. A good blogger would have photos to show you. So I do not have photos to show you.
I lost playing Cleopatra Keno. Then I lost playing Buffalo. Then lost some more playing Cleopatra Keno again.
Up next was Golden Nugget. I took advantage of being here by stopping at Starbucks for a venti iced green tea latte. These are so good. I knew I was going to lose here, but I had to try. Golden Nugget is very Strip-like in every way, including that it stole my money with the quickness.
I went back to my room for a nap, but I could not sleep. So I decided to take the free shuttle over to Sam’s Town and use my free play coupons.
I got off the shuttle and instead of immediately entering the casino, I walked to Boulder Highway to stop at the Rebel gas station for cheap cigarettes. On the ground outside, was a penny on heads. This must mean my luck is about to change!
Oh hey, look at that!
OH HEY LOOK AT THAT.
First person to mention the lack of a kicker will accidentally hit max bet on their next time at a slot machine and lose all their money.
I came back to Fremont and went to my room to make out with my winnings. Then I continued on my quest to visit every Downtown casino. This is day three of trying to accomplish this. How on earth am I going to handle my goal of visiting every Strip casino this trip, if I cannot manage to get through all these tiny, clustered places?
As I walked over to Main Street Station, I stopped at Lappert’s for an iced chai latte. I took some photos of the ice cream flavors for anyone who is interested.
I played in Main Street Station and my penny was still holding strong.
I left Main Street Station a winner! I went to play in California and hit $80 on a Buffalo slot machine. Today is such a great day!
I decided to celebrate my wins not by degenerate gambling, but by getting a massage at Happy Feet at El Cortez. I love this place. $20 for an hour long foot massage. I have never seen anyone else in here, so I am scared they will not last long. So everyone please, PLEASE, please go here so they stay in business.
I felt so good after my massage. I sat down and played a Buffalo slot where you play four games at one time. I was surprised that I was able to last on here without going broke. I cashed out so many times that I had to keep cashing my TITO tickets because I was out of cash. I left here up $300.
On my way back to my room at Fremont, I had to “GET OFF MY LAWN” some party goers who were hanging out at the Ultimate X Bonus Streak machines. They may have cursed me because I could not win a damned thing.
Off to bed I go, up $600 for the day WAHOO!
Good day! Def. want to try Happy Feet. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve gotten to where I like Aces as much or better then royals (I know, but damn I love them, they just are really cool). So nice Aces!
Enjoying your trip report, look forward to the rest.
I am the same exact way. Royals may be more money, but Aces are so much prettier!
Hey Jennifer: does MSS still give scratch tickets for 4oak’s?
Hi Paul – they sure do!
Pretty Aces! Congrats on a nice winning day!
Thanks Mare!
