I wake up at 10:00 AM at Sahara. I have an appointment to get a massage today. I want to blow dry my hair since I had added on a scalp massage, but there is no hair dryer in the room.
I got completely lost trying to find the Alexandria Tower. Well not so much lost as I did not walk far enough to find it and thought I was lost. I asked a security guard to point me in the right direction and he kindly escorted me all the way.
The spa was great. Isn’t it always? I love scalp massages.
Afterwards, I got on the monorail. This thing is so convenient only if you are staying at a hotel with a stop, and want to go to a hotel with a stop. This sentence sounds stupid to anyone who is not familiar with the monorail, but makes perfect sense to anyone who is.
I am at Linq and someone is on MY Buffalo machine get out. I lose $300 on other machines. Then I decide to convert the rest of my points to free play. The kiosk is not working. I wait on the forever player’s club line and am told I have to do it at the kiosk. But it is not working! I walk around the fucking casino until I find one that works. I am never coming here again. I lose the free play and head back to Sahara to check out and move to The D. On my way to the monorail, I throw out my player’s card because I am NEVER playing at a CET property ever again.
Of course, I have absolutely stayed and played at CET properties since then.
I played some Ultimate X video poker before checking out. This machine is great.
At The D, check in is weird. The woman checking me in looks up my reservation, gets a weird look on her face and has to go into the back. Uh oh. She comes back and gives me room 305. I have never had such a low floor here before.
I go downstairs and activate my Las Vegas Advisor coupon for $5 free play per 50 points earned. I play through the free play that came with my offer and zilch.
I play my favorite machine at The Long Bar. It is dumb for me to play here since these machines are $10 for one point, and since I don’t drink, I can’t even make up for it that way. But there is a machine here that gave me Aces with a Kicker twice in one trip. Both times holding only one Ace. So I love her and will play her. $100 turned into $140.
I played around The D and found a nice Cleopatra Keno who is not in a bank, and is all by herself. The speed button doesn’t work so she is stuck on super fast.
Next stop: Vue Bar. So many video poker players spend hours upon hours here. I longingly read trip reports and see all the quads. I never ever win here. I never get quads here. I just pour tons of money in and am out of money in a few minutes. Every time.
I went to play MY Buffalo machine and OMG she is gone?! Where did she go? I walk around and examine every single inch of the entire casino looking for her. She is gone. GONE. WHY. This is injustice and I demand a refund.
Off to bed I go, good night.
