Good morning day 9 of this Las Vegas trip!  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

I am up at 7:00 AM.  I don’t even try to see what the line for the coffee kiosk replacing the Wynn Cafe, which is under construction and closed.   I do a mobile order from Urth Café.  I had never noticed this place before, although I knew it existed.  Turns out I never noticed it before because it is a million miles away.   Great coffee, albeit overpriced.

I lose some money in a Buffalo Luxury Line and then some more in Cleopatra Keno.

Fuck it, let’s keep going.  Quarter Double Double Bonus video poker, loser.

These machines were all paying me last night.  Today, nope.

I was able to play Moolah.  There’s only 2 of these machines here and they are normally taken. I can see why:

I stopped in a restroom and found a penny on heads on the counter next to the sink.  This should fix things.

Breakfast is at Jardin.  I have room credit that covers it, whoop!  They ask me if I want to sit outside as the only tables available right now are inside.  No I do not want to sit inside a hair dryer.  I don’t know how people enjoy meals out there in this disgusting weather.

After eating, I play in Encore for a bit, on an Ultimate X video poker machine that has been kind to me in the past.  She is kind to me once again!

I am all packed and ready to check out at noon.  I am not supposed to check out today.  I am booked for tonight.  But since Wynn charges for WiFi and I have to work tomorrow, I decided to leave early and just not cancel the last night, just in case I wasn’t ready to check out.  Will this affect my upcoming offers?  Probably.   Do I care?  Not really.  I do like it here but I am never going to get more than 2 nights unless I use their app, and their app now requires you to pay to book the room AND pay a resort fee.  Nope.

I go back down to play some more because my room at California may not be ready.

Cleopatra Keno, lost $100.

I decide to go full force playing 50 cent Double Double Bonus video poker.  That penny in my bra approved of my decision.

And just to make it clear she loves me, she gave me Jacks again.

YAY.

Now it is time to move hotels.  I grab my luggage and go to the Uber pickup.  Holy shit it is raining and HOT.  So hot, so raining, so HOT.  It stops raining as I am waiting for the Uber, but it is so fucking hot and humid.  I am so physically uncomfortable.  Of course, I have to wait 17 minutes for a driver.  Likely because rain.

I get in the car all sweaty and gross.  Off to California we go!

I ask for a room near the elevator because it makes it so much easier to go grab stuff during working hours.   I moved my luggage to where I plan to put the luggage rack.  As I walk back with the luggage rack, I notice a dead bug on the floor.   Not sure if he was dead when I walked in, or if I killed him by rolling over him with my luggage?   I want this thing OUT of here and the last thing I intend for is to get rid of it myself.

I call the front desk and she sends someone up and he disposes of the corpse for me.  He opens the connecting door and checks and sees nothing in there.   He tells me it is a cricket.  I choose to believe him because any alternative will make me die.

I consider asking to switch rooms but I am right near the elevator so fuck it, I don’t bother asking.

I don’t have photos of the room because dead bug threw me for a loop.  Here is the room view though:

The air conditioning in here is not as great as air conditioning I have had before at California.  But again, near elevator.  Take what you can get.

My first stop on my way to the casino was at Hawaiian Specialties for a fountain Diet Pepsi.  I have to wait a big while the cashier was doing something.  When he turned his attention back to me and asked me how he can help me, I said “Large fountain drink please!” and he hands me the cup and says “Have a nice day.”  I gesture that I am trying to pay and he winks at me and repeats  “Have a nice day.”  FREE LARGE DIET PEPSI OMG YAY.

I realized I left my player’s card in my room so I head to the player’s club since I think it will be quicker.  Nope.  There is one woman working and there is a couple completely monopolizing her time.   Another employee comes and it looks like she is going to log in and help but instead, she joins the old couple who are monopolizing the only person working’s time.   I get that people are regulars at casinos and get to know the employees.  But maybe consider you are holding up other people?  I waited 15 minutes for a new card.  And that was with me being second in the line when I got there.

Sat down to play Moolah and spotted a dog!

Guys, I lost $400 on Moolah.  I definitely need to never play this again.  This is brutal, and degenerate and INSANE.

I played some Ultimate X video poker and ended up cashing out with $100 from my initial stake of $100, only because the person next to me was completely psychotic.

I found a Buffalo Gold Max Power and played her for the first time ever.  I will call her Buffalo Max for the remainder of her time in my life.  I lost $160 on her but I loved playing her.  You can get these tiny symbols and up to 6 gold coins.  I am going to play her forever until I get either a 6 coin bonus, or 4 wilds in a bonus.

I stopped by my room and then walked over to Main Street Station to eat dinner at Triple 7 Brew Pub.  I had a server who was concerned that me wanting root beer meant I could not have free refills since it is bottled.  That’s totally fine.  I got a burger.

Main Street Station is so beautiful.

I played some 50 cent Double Double Bonus video poker and HOLY SHIT I got Aces with a Kicker, no way.  This is a $1000 hit.  She is gorgeous.

I went back to the room and realized I forgot to cash the TITO before leaving the casino.  Fuck.  This means when I go back, I’ll have $1000+ on me and that is degenerate scary.

I am in bed by 8:00.
