Las Vegas: Good Bye Linq, Hello Wynn!

If you somehow landed here and would like to start at the beginning of this Las Vegas trip report, you can do so HERE.

Housekeeping knock on the door of my room at Linq at 9:30 AM.  I have a 1:00 check out.  She comes knocking again at 10:30.  I am growing furious.  Could you…not?   I even pointed out the Do Not Disturb sign.  Please do not disturb.

I went down to get breakfast, stopping obviously at my gorgeous Buffalo slot machine.  Last chance to give me money because I am checking out today!  I love this machine so much.  I really do.
Wahoo!
Back to the room to check out yay bye. I hated this room because I worked in it so it is terrible and I want to be free.

I will say this – I am glad it took me forever to get this trip report up as I am planning a Vegas trip as I am posting this.  A work-free trip.  I keep considering leaving for Vegas a week earlier and just work from Vegas so I can take advantage of more offers.  I mean why not?  But this whiny trip report, this is why not.

Off to Wynn I go!  I take a cab and I remember how much I dislike cab driver commentary when switching hotels.  “They didn’t have room for you here?”  Yes that is exactly what happened.  I showed up at Linq during the slowest week of the year, without a reservation and they told me they had no rooms so I am going to go try my luck at Wynn.

I am here for 3 nights, booked on the app.  I ask for a smoking room and am given one.  I tipped $20 when I got the keys.  I have never tipped a front desk person before in my life.  With the exception of Cosmopolitan (Boulevard tower please!) I never have any special requests.

I get room 5050.

First up – get into a fight with Alexa.  Open the fucking shears I fucking hate you.

I love the golf course view at Wynn.  I just want to go down there and roll around in the grass.

I go down to the casino to play a bit.  There are combo video poker / Cleopatra Keno machines that are sometimes nice to me.  Today they were not.  I grabbed a sandwich from the cafe and went to my room to nap.  The cafe has online ordering, which is great to skip the line.  But is frustrating because you cannot charge to the room so you have to either wait on the line to use your comps or pay with your own money through the app.  No thanks.

I woke up realizing i hadn’t set my alarm and if I intend to go see Mystere, which up until this point i had planned to do, I need to go back in time and set my alarm because the show started 5 minutes ago and i haven’t even showered yet today.  Great job!

The machines at Wynn recognized me being a sloth and decided they would mirror me and put any hopes and dreams I had of a huge win to bed.  I could not connect on anything at all.  Did not stop me from trying though!

FINE I will walk over to Treasure Island, which is where I am supposed to be gambling anyway.

Well the Ultimate X machines at Treasure Island must have gotten word from Wynn that I am destined to lose because they also ignored my wishes to win a million dollars.  Or anything.  ANYTHING.  Please let me win anything?  No?  Like even just one win?  No?  Meh.

I walked back to Wynn and managed to pass through the entire casino without stopping to play, which was an easy feat since I had zero cash left.

I went to the room and was in bed by midnight.  I hate days like this in Vegas. I hate nights like this too.  Maybe tomorrow I will shower.
