Las Vegas day 17 of this monstrous trip report!
I am up at 9:30 at California. I am woken up by the phone ringing. I am checking into Luxor today and Luxor’s spa is calling me to let me know that I can get an earlier appointment than what I have scheduled. I can’t really change it though since I am checking in just to get my $100 resort credit and $50 free play. I need to have a room to charge the spa to my room, so I can use the credit.
I went to get breakfast at Binions, using an app reward. I have to say it, by this point in the trip, and for the first time in my life, I am sick of breakfast here. The hash browns taste like movie popcorn butter. I’ve never noticed that before and I don’t like it.
While I was eating, I got a notification that my Luxor room was ready. So I went back to my room at California to change my spa appointment and then headed to Luxor.
I checked in and got a one bedroom suite. These are wasted on me because non smoking so I won’t stay here. Probably shouldn’t have messed the bed up before photos + I normally don’t mess the bed up. Lots of people do this. You know, so that housekeeping doesn’t report you didn’t stay. I don’t think they actually do this / anyone would care. So why I messed this bed up at all, nevermind before taking photos, is a mystery.
Fun fact: I had actually stayed in a Luxor suite in the past year. I just don’t get the point of them other than “oooh” and “ahhhh.” The only time I was in the dining/living room was passing through to get to the bedroom. I guess if I were spending time in the room it would be nice to have a living room. Except nights I spend in my room are usually in my pajamas eating dinner in bed while watching television.
The spa is great, but isn’t any spa always great? Even better when it is free.
I have $50 free play with my offer +$25 from MyKonami. I play it on quarter SuperTimes Pay video poker.
Excellent!
I went back up the room to leave a tip for housekeeping even though I didn’t stay here. Don’t want bad karma. Then I got in an Uber to the Paiute Smoke Shop to buy more cigarettes. As I was waiting for an Uber back, some guy asked me if I had an extra PACK of cigarettes to spare. Go fuck off.
Back to California. I lost $100 on Buffalo and $40 on quarter Double Double Bonus video poker.
Dinner was Binions again, using the app again. I had a burger, it was great. I think though that I should go back to that idea I had a few trips ago where every day I eat at one new (to me) place. I am in a rut. I should also note the trip I tried that on, I lost my American Express card at Fremont Beat. Even better, I realized I lost the card later on at night when I tried to pay for my MCDONALDS with it, because I eat McDonalds in Las Vegas. Suck it.
After dinner, I got Dunkin Donuts iced coffee, because obviously. Since I already broke my boycott at Fremont, I lost $200 in SuperTimes Pay for no real reason other than ASSHOLE.
I went back to California and lost $100 on Buffalo. Then another $200 on dollar Double Double Bonus video poker, which is too rich for me. But obviously since my trip is nearing the end and I am losing, I am going degenerate.
Bed at midnight.
