Las Vegas: The Day it Stormed

LAS VEGAS!  I am awake at 7:00 at the California hotel Downtown.  I want to go back to bed but I am going home tomorrow so I need to soak up every last second here.

Breakfast was at Binions using their app.  I had a feeling that they were going to remove rewards from their app and they did shortly after I got home.  I still have five more rewards to claim, I will do that THIS WEEK because as I am typing this, I AM GOING BACK THIS WEEK MOTHER FUCKERS.

I stop at Dunkin Donuts for iced coffee and head over to The D.  I lost $100 on a Cleopatra Keno / video poker combo.  Another $100 on Buffalo.  Another $100 on a Dragon Link and $100 on Keno.  I am doing great.

Back to Binions where my luck has changed.

I cashed out with $140 and went back to California.  She has some new pretty purple paint.

A few minutes later, I was in my room and the weather had changed.

The wind sounds like tortured souls.

I took a nap for a couple of hours.  Woke up and got an Uber to go buy cigarettes.  Passed Buddha on my way out.
I took an Uber from the Paiute Smoke Shop to El Cortez to cash in Royal Flusher’s Keno ticket.  It got me $17 which I lost in Cleopatra Keno.  I lost another $160 for good measure.

I went to Fremont next for a large iced coffee and they had run out of large cups.  Damn YOU.

Someone is on both of my machines so I walked over to my new machine and someone is on there too.  I thought I was supposed to be lucky when it rains in Vegas.  Guys, I am going home tomorrow.  Stop being a dick Las Vegas.

I did one last circle and Ultimate X was empty.

Up next Binions.  I sit down and realize I don’t have my Player’s Card.  What did I just fucking say about not being a dick?!

Back to California where I play dollar Double Double Bonus video poker again.   I lost $100.  Then I lost $100 on Buffalo.  DID YOU NOT HEAR ME WHEN I SAID STOP BEING A DICK LAS VEGAS.

Dinner was at Market Street Cafe at California.  I ordered, got my food, ate, had my table cleaned.  But I never got a check.  Finally the server comes back and asks me what I would like to order.  No, I did that already.

I played dollar video poker after dinner because why not.  The machine kept giving me three of a kinds, zero four of a kinds.

I was in bed at 12:45 am.

    Hi Jennifer. When I saw all your new entries I had yet to read, I felt as excited as I do when I am actually planning my own trip to Vegas. I look forward to seeing the Circa Resort in person one day. Was that built on a site where another casino used to be or what was always a vacant piece of land? It looks stunning in pictures. You never mentioned if you finally got some shampoo. I was wondering with the Covid and mandatory masks, are you able to take your mask off for your whole smoke or do you have to keep lifting it to take a drag? I was going to comment after every entry but I couldn’t stop reading long enough to type. Now I am really looking forward to your 19 day trip report. You are a helluva blogger.

      Hi Joanna! Thank you so much for the kind words.

      Circa is where Las Vegas Club used to be. It is SO BIG. You can see it from so far away, it is ridiculous.

      YES! I finally got shampoo and washed my hair like 5 times because it felt so gross. I am sitting on my bed at California hotel and I cannot remember packing shampoo. I just arrived tonight. Let’s hope I did so I don’t go through that again…

      You have to pull the mask up between drags of your cigarette. Some people don’t and get scolded by security. It really isn’t bad, you kind of get used to it. Smoke and push buttons with right hand, move the mask with the left hand.
