Good morning Las Vegas! I woke up at California, moving to Cosmopolitan today. I showered and got dressed. When leaving the room, I noticed my do not disturb sign was somehow missing so I made my own and went about my day.
I stopped at MY Buffalo at Binions to use my free play. The card reader is working today and holy shit, I got a handpay? Holy shit.
I had been considering extending my trip and this pretty much means I am going to? I am checking into Cosmopolitan today and planned to fly home on Tuesday but now I am maybe not going to? Let’s see how that pans out.
Breakfast is at Binions Cafe. I will never get through all the comps I have accumulated on my card. I could move to Vegas and eat free for over a month, eating every meal here.
After eating, I went to Fremont for Dunkin Donuts. I ordered through the mobile app and as always, I can see my drink but can’t get anyone to pay attention to me to hand it to me. I tell you this so that you will be less tempted to use the app and I can keep all the line cutting to myself.
I collected my Binions cashback, which was $110. Ran that through a machine and cashed out at only $40.
And just for fun, lost another $100 on my way out the door.
I had a $3 TITO from Circa I wanted to cash out. I didn’t have my card with me because I thought that would keep me from playing but I thought wrong. I lost FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Why do I do this? This is my entire daily budget. I hate myself so much.
And of course, lost another $100 in California on my way back to my room to pack and move.
I took a Lyft to Cosmopolitan. I have a balcony but cannot get fountain view because they are sold out. I am so miserable. I remember this, even though it was forever ago as I am posting this. I was so annoyed, hated Cosmopolitan, hated myself. Hated the oontz oontz bass in my room in broad daylight.
I went to Starbucks for a pink drink and then to my Ultimate X video poker machine. ROYAL TIMES FOUR!
I grabbed Secret Pizza and went ot the room to relax, but this also means I need coffee because isn’t binge drinking iced coffee the very definition of relaxing?
Someone is on MY machine. Come ON lady, move it. I lose $400 waiting for her to go away only to find she has spilled a drink everywhere. All over the chair and the machine. You are not worthy of playing my machine you piece of shit.
Back to the room once again, stopping at Buffalo. These are the machines right outside the Boulevard Tower. I hate these machines. They are usually mean to me but they are also sometimes kind of nice and it is those rare nice times that make me lose money during the common mean times. She was mean today.
I went to cash out my TITO and there was a family with 97 kids in front of me. Someone in that party smelled like they shit their pants. Keep it classy Cosmopolitan.
Back to my room and found an eyeliner left behind by another guest. All my trips are so blurry during Covid. On one trip I found some fake eyelashes inside towels (and thought they were huge bugs and screamed) so I guess I am now collecting used toiletries at Cosmo.
This is also the part of this trip report where I am confused by my photos. They seem to be running out of order from the posts, as in I have an extra day’s worth of photos. So clearly I should probably go back to adding my horoscopes into these posts so I can keep the dates straight.
Here are some photos I have no clue where they belong. I could just lie and make up stories about them happening today but I hate liars so….
Great post! It sounds like you had quite an eventful day in Las Vegas. The ups and downs of gambling can be quite the rollercoaster, but it’s always exciting when luck is on your side and you get a handpay. It’s understandable that you’re tempted to extend your trip after such a win.
I recently came across your blog post about your big slot machine wins in Las Vegas, and just had to reach out to congratulate you! As a fellow slots enthusiast, I know the thrill of seeing those buffalo or royal symbols line up just right. Your excited play-by-play had me on the edge of my seat – I could practically hear the bells and sirens going off of Las Vegas!
Winning a jackpot first on Buffalo, then getting a 5x multiplier on your royal flush? That’s absolutely incredible luck! You must have felt on top of the world. I love that you kept calm and took photos to document the experience – those are memories that will last a lifetime.
Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through your big Vegas wins. Your vivid descriptions transported me right onto the casino floor with you. Here’s hoping some of your good fortune rubs off on me during my next trip to Vegas! In the meantime, I’ll settle for enjoying more of your slot adventures. Keep the fun stories coming!
