Good morning from Wynn! I slept until 8:00 AM and was out by 9:30 AM. Either I am getting older and slower, or the internet is so much more fascinating that it keeps me from getting out quicker.
Morning room view:
Breakfast is at Terrace Point Cafe. Wynn has three actual restaurtant options for breakfast, which is absolutely unheard of at any other property. There is also the buffet, the cafe and Urth Cafe in addition to the three restaurants. I can almost understand never leaving this propery, although that makes me feel like a denegerate loser who never even goes outside.
I love the fruit plates. I wish the rooms had a refergerator so I could get one to go every time.
I stopped at Cleopatra Keno, hoping for wins but lost $80. I swear these machines work in batches. You either win BIG or lose BIG. I need to catch it on the correct cycle dammit.
I decide to head to Bellagio, taking a taxi because I don’t know where the hell the Uber pick up is and also because I refuse to obey my rule of “start taking the bus again, stop wasting so much money on cabs and Ubers.”
I redeem my MyKonami free play since I could not do it the other night when I was here because LINE.
Have I ever told you how much I love these hard to find Buffalo slot machines?
I lost $100 on Cleopatra Keno on my way out.
Next stop: Cosmopolitan! I need to get my free play loaded and the line is SO. LONG. By the time I get to MY Ultimate X video poker machine, someone is on it and has racked up $1000 so he may not be leaving anytime soon. Although he should to preserve the win. Says me.
I played a different Ultimate X machine and since it wasn’t MY machine, I lost my money. I circled back around and $1k guy is still on my machine so I just give up. I have the tendency to lose a ton of money while waiting for people to get the fuck off my machines, and I am trying to break that habit.
I played single line quarter Ultimate X video poker and woo!
I walk to the front of Cosmopolitan and play a Wild Wild Buffalo slot machine for the first time. Not for the first time at all, I lose my money without ever hitting a bonus.
I walk across the street to Paris and lose $40 on Double Double Bonus video poker. I bypassed Ballys because fuck you bad luck casino. Cromwell took $40 from me too. Bastard.
Flamingo. Why. I played the Buffalo slot machine that gave me a bazillion dollars in the past. She gave me nothing today except heartache.
Over to my baby at Linq. I love her so much.
I went to Harrahs as I still have my live Keno ticket from whenever the hell it was that I stayed here. Was that last week? Who knows anymore. I won a whopping $15. I lost that on my way out.
I took an Uber from here to Resorts World. I have booked an offer here, but am not staying since they do not have smoking rooms. My offer is for 3 nights (I booked 2) with $150 free play and $75 dining.
Check in was a clusterfuck. As this is a new hotel where the hotel is owned by Hilton and not completely set up to be synced with the player’s club, they try to charge me a resort fee. This takes a bit to sort out. I also sorted it out before arriving in Vegas, or so I thought. My confirmation for the comped stay showed insanely high room rates and I went back and forth a million times to correct that. Then the new confirmation was showing a resort fee and I had to call twice to get that corrected. Now I am here and they are trying to charge me a resort fee. Sigh.
I got room 38228. This room is very nice.
I head downstairs to use my free play. Dimes Ultimate X video poker. Holy fuck.
Look at meeeeee I have $500.
Now for dinner. I am starving. I had planned to eat at The Kitchen as the Resorts World website says it is open 24 hours. It is not.
Fuck, now I have to find food. This was frustrating at best. I walked over to where I think the restaurants are.
You have to go up an escalator that is all the way at the very end of the hallway. I do this. I don’t really see any place I want to eat. There is a Starbucks up there but it is closed. To get back down, I ended up walking like 97 miles because the escalators are so far away. I am starving and exhausted and just sick and tired of foraging for food. Why is The Kitchen not open like your website says it is?! I did not research any other place to eat here. I hate you.
I give up and walk back to Wynn, going through Encore.
I would have played here except I did not have my card. So I keep going. I get a new card at Wynn and when I put it in a machine, I get a message “Abandoned card.” So that was new. Apparently I abandoned it in the last machine I played a million hours ago and Wynn knows this and wants me to know they know it.
I lose $100 here. I grabbed a sandwich from The Cafe and went to the room. It is only 8:00 PM but I have had a very full day and do not go back out. Good night.
