Another day working in Las Vegas, another day up at 5:00 am in Las Vegas. What makes this day special though, is that this is the day my vacation actually starts once I am done with work.
I learned that I cannot get breakfast until 6:00 when things open, so I sneak in some Buffalo while waiting. The hope was to win a million dollars so that I can go back to bed rather than into a video meeting. I won, but was missing quite a few zeros and work meeting it was.
You can tell I am super anxious to LET’S GO because I am playing max bet, which is out of my price range. Or you can tell how degenerate I am because I was playing out of my price range.
After my last meeting, I spent some time wrapping things up before logging off. I am checking
out of The D(ick) at noon and starting my vacation then. There was a mini crisis, but we got it all done by 12:01 and out the door I went.
I checked my bags with the Bell Desk and got in some Downtown play before moving hotels. I lost $80 at The D on a combo of Double Double Bonus video poker and Cleopatra Keno. Then lost $60 on Buffalo at Binions.
Stopped at Binions cafe and got bacon and eggs. Or at least I tried to. I was given sausage and eggs. Too eager to GO GO GO GO GO to care.
I took an Uber to Sam’s Town. I did a room review HERE. What was odd to me is the Uber driver had never heard of Sam’s Town. He was really surprised when we got there that it looked like a “real” place. I think because since he had never heard of it (how) he assumed it was a crappy Boulder Highway motel.
I checked in and did not get park view like I had reserved, but all is well. I really like staying here. I think that maybe I will start staying here more often. It is a bit of a trip to get Downtown from here, even with the hotel shuttle (which is currently not running because of Covid and even when it is, the times are too spaced out.) But I love traveling around Henderson.
I got a large iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts, because obviously. I dicked around on some slots because OBVIOUSLY. I lost so much money on Buffalo. I don’t know how much. But a lot. Trying to get one bonus. You know how that goes right? You play and don’t get a bonus. So you put in more money and don’t get a bonus. So fuck it, you put even MORE money in and don’t get a bonus. And think “okay THIS time I will get a bonus” and you don’t? Yes, I did that. And I never got one bonus. So I try again and guess what, no bonus.
Absolutely disgusted with myself, I grabbed dinner to go at TGIF and retreated to my room.
I have no idea what time any of these things were but apparently at some point after eating dinner, I did that thing where “Should I just go to bed?” and decided nah, fuck it. Let’s go again but not on Buffalo. You can tell I was in degenerate mode because I was playing dimes.
YAY!
I cashed out, got Dunkin Donuts and chilled in the room for awhile reading. Then lights out! Tomorrow is a brand new day.
