Ahhhhhhhh yes.  I am flying to Las Vegas for my birthday.  This was supposed to be a quick long weekend trip.  Then I added some days.  Then some more.  Then spoiler alert: I added even more when I was there.  I think this was a 4 night trip that ended up being 21?  Whoops?

I have a flight at 6:13 AM.  I have so much JetBlue credit that is finally expiring so I had more than enough to overpay for a Mint flight so I did that.   When I booked, rows 2 and 4 were filled.  2 had one open seat late at night on the 30th, so I nabbed it woo hoo, total privacy!

I rarely fly early so here are some photos from the plane that I normally cannot get.

I knew that arriving in Vegas at 8:00 AM would be brual, especially having to wait for a room.  So I took advantage of MLife mobile check in and booked a room starting Saturday, even though I was arriving Sunday.  I checked in online Saturday and went straight to my room Sunday morning.

The room was comped.  I am Gold status (matched from a match from a match) so no resort fees, no flaw in this plan.  I am trying to burn MLife because I don’t like staying at their properties because non smoking.  So I don’t care if this hurts future offers.

I get off the plane, all joyful.  We landed a tiny bit early.  I am waiting for the tram and went to check Lyft vs. Uber and oh FUCK ME.  My phone is ON THE FUCKING PLANE.  I had to go back to get it.  The woman at the desk was great.  I had been in seat 2F and she begins announcing on a walkie talkie that there was a phone left in “2 Fucks” over and over.  The guy cannot initially find the phone, and I am trying to explain to her exactly where it is.  But Mint seats are a clusterfuck. “It is in the thingy to the left of the seat that looks like it is meant to hold a phone, not the thingy to the right….” and she tells the guy to look over every inch of “2 Fucks” and he finds it!  YAY.

I was so relieved and I needed to stop and cool down because sweating.  I lost $60 at a slot machine and finally left the airport. I am in room 1944 at 8:45 AM.

So

Fucking

Humid

So much for “but it is a dry heat!”

Room photos:

I took a short nap and went to get my offer free play and my MyKonami free play loaded.  I also have a mid week bonus I didn’t know about.  And for some reason, I got a gift?  I had to scan a QR code and pick a prize.  I picked a set of knives that were waiting for me when I got home.  I got home so long after this, I was confused what the fuck that package outside my door was.

I went to Starbucks.  There were 2 registers open.  WERE, as in one cashier walked away and never came back.  But the family in front of me went to that register to wait.  You should stand in line until someone calls you over.  I get called over and the male of the family is mad at why I got called next and he did not.  Because you fucking already went to a closed register and she is working off the line. I called him an asshole.

When I went to get my drink, the entire fuckface family is crowded around the drink pick up spot so people have to keep reaching over them.  They don’t ever consider moving.

I used my freeplay on Invaders From the Planet Moolah (to be referred to as “Moolah” for the rest of this report.)  I put in $40 cash, plus my $120 free play and got a TITO for $100 that I kept with me instead of cashing out so that I did not spend it.

I took an Uber first to Las Vegas Paiute smoke shop for cigarettes and then to Circa.  There’s a flash flood warning!

I lost $100 on Dancing Drums at Circa. Whoops. I have $20 left.  WHOOOOOOOOPS?  I stopped for lunch at Saginaws.  Either they no longer do the cutesy pickle thing, or just my cashier did not.  I ate there and had to wait forever for my iced tea.  I had to eventually drink from the bottle of water in my bag while waiting.  I hate.

I have $25 free play at Golden Nugget.  I played some old school game, who’s name I will never remember.  I got up to $20 in winnings but didn’t cash out, even though I still only have $20 left on me.  Loser.

Binions, I also have $20 free play.  I also won $20 cash and did not cash out what am I doing.

Four Queens, I have $80 free play.  I got this up to $120 cash and…..did not cash out.  I stopped at the gift shop to try and rid my $400 comp balance.  I got some water and some gummy candy.

I took an Uber to NY NY, lost my $100 TITO and decided to take a nap.  I woke up from that nap in the middle of a nightmare about work.  WONDERFUL.

I walked to Excalibur to use my $25 MyKonami free play.  I got $40 and didn’t cash out.  Do you see a theme here?

Over to Luxor to use my free play on MY Supertimes Pay machine, but someone is on it.  Dickbag.  I played some Cleopatra Keno and got $40 cash and CASHED OUT this time.  Now MY machine is free.  I got her up to $300 but cashed out with only $100 because dumb fat loser.

At 7:15, I find myself at RiRa.  I have always wanted to try this place.  I asked the internet and was told that yes, resort credit will cover it.  But my resort credit did not cover it.  Knowing I had to pay cash for it made me unhappy.  Still, was good.

Final stop – Mandalay Bay.  I had to get the MyKonami free play loaded.  The line is long and is in front of the security desk, where the security guard is just ignoring the amount of little kids all loud and running around while their parents wait on this line.

I played some game, I think it is called Monopoly Lunar?  I didn’t take photos but won and won and won.  Highest was $385.  Cashed out $300.  Then lost $240 in Buffalo.

Attempting to take a Lyft back to New York, New York.  The first guy is just going around and around in circles, further and further away from me.  After about 20 minutes of this, I cancelled.  My new ride is supposedly here, except he isn’t. I am getting notifications that he is going to leave without me.  But he isn’t fucking here.  I start to call him and he pulls in.

Back to New York, New York.  One last cigarette before bed and BAM.

I am in bed at 10:30, which is way too late considering I have to be at work at 6:00 AM.  My first meeting of tomorrow morning is my midcycle review with my manager.   YAY VEGAS.
