If you have somehow landed on this page and would like to read this Las Vegas trip report from the beginning, you can go HERE.I am awake at The D at 4:00 AM.  Back in the old days before Covid, I would have skipped to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks and enjoyed having the casino all to myself.  Now though, neither are open at 4:00 AM so I dick around the room for a bit before heading outside.

These guys scared the living daylights out of me when I opened the curtains.
I lost $100 in my favorite Cleopatra Keno / Double Double Bonus video poker machine at The Long Bar.

Played some Buffalo Revolution, which I avoid like the plague since I have never won on this game.  I broke the spell!
I then played the Buffalo game that I keep calling “Monopoly” for some reason, that I can only find at Paris, Bellagio, Plaza and The D.  I did not win.

I grab breakfast and head to the room at 9:00 AM.

I go back out and play some Ultimate X video poker.  I don’t like these machines at The D but I discover they have single line quarter Ultimate X.  People ask me about this – this is what the machines look like:
I don’t win on here so I try other machines.
Up to the room for a nap.  Back out and redeem my free play from the Las Vegas Advisor coupon on the super speedy Cleopatra Keno machine I discovered yesterday.  Turn that into $40.

Even though I am still booked at The D, I am checking into Fremont tonight.  I walk over and do that.  I am glad I did because I got the last smoking room available.

Then I head to California to play.  I often notice that there isn’t much for me to play at Fremont.  There is an Ultimate X machine that I used to think was friendly before I found MY machine at Cosmopolitan and now I realize the Fremont one is giving me fake smiles.

There is MY Cleopatra Keno / Double Double Bonus combo machine, but she is always broken.

There used to be a nice Buffalo machine but I have not won on her on my past 893432743874 trips so I dumped her ass.

That pretty much leaves me playing at California to earn my Fremont keep.

I lost at California and went to Plaza.  I had a pretty terrible room here on my last stay here and adding insult to injury, they charge resort fees on comped rooms.  I don’t visit here often because it is a waste since earning comps = earning comps for rooms I do not want.  But the casino has been nice to me before so why not stop by and say hello every now and then.

I realized I left my Las Vegas Advisor coupon book with a $10 free play coupon in the room so I decided to just play cash.  I played some Cleopatra Keno here and lost.  Oh well.

Over to Golden Gate.  Another casino that is often friendly to me that I never wish to stay at ever again.  I play a new version of Texas Tea here.
I play some video poker next.

Then back to Binions where I play Texas Tea again.
I go back to The D where I am still checked into, even though I have moved to Fremont.  I play a bit here to keep my offers coming.  I used to get 3 night offers, then I got nothing for a couple of years.  I am back to 2 nights.  I want to get back up to 3.  2 night stays are no longer viable for me.  Especially at The D where they enforce the 3:00 check in.

I don’t win anything so I head back to Fremont where I find they now have single line Ultimate X video poker.

My Cleopatra Keno / Double Double Bonus machine is fixed.   I play $20 at a time and cash out every time I double it.  My first cashout kills her again.  WHY.
I have this random photo that I am not sure where the hell it was taken because it is not in my notes.
