If you somehow ended up here and would like to read this Las Vegas trip report from the beginning, go HERE.
I am up at 7:00 and out by 7:45. Today I am going to revisit the Strip. I am smart enough to have thought ahead to getting Dunkin Donuts last night to keep in my refrigerator so I could have a large iced coffee while playing at Bellagio this morning.
It is fucking HOT outside. Like the hot where the sun burns your eyes and they really hurt. I had to wait 17 minutes for my Uber. This is abnormally long for this trip, albeit at this time last year, I would have been psyched just to be able to get one at all.
I watched as my driver passed by me on his way to drop off the person before me at Four Queens. Please pick me up on the way, I need air conditioning?
My plans for Bellagio are to play the Dancing Drums machine I won on last trip, play some Cleopatra Keno and some Buffalo. I have enough comps for the buffet. Even though I am not a fan of it, I am less of a fan of leaving comps on the table.
I play Dancing Drums. Woo hoo, this is going to plan!
But then I stop at Moolah. I have to stop playing this mother fucking game. I can’t stop. I lose money. Stop playing it. This was not in the plan. STOP IT.
I did somehow stop myself when I only lost $40. That in itself deserves a million dollars.
Cleopatra Keno YAY. It went like this:
$20 – $120
$20 – $60
$20 – $40
$20 – $0
$20 – $0
$20 – $0
Time to stop!
I had the buffet, which I enjoyed more for breakfast than I did for dinner. But still would never in a million years pay for this thing.
Over to Buffa-NO, I am not allowed to play this. But let me try one last time ever, I swear this will be the last time ever.
From here over to Cosmopolitan. First stop Starbucks!
Someone is on my Buffalo Max machine. Sigh. AND someone is on MY Ultimate X video poker machine. I feel like this happens every time I come down here for my last day. PEOPLE GET OFF MY MACHINES.
I play some Dancing Drums to kill time to wait for this guy to get OFF MY MACHINE GET OFF MY MACHINE.
He gets off after I only lost $40 and I bless him for it.
My machine isn’t paying me though. WHY. I am talking to her, telling her this is it. I am going home tomorrow, last chance LADY. She doesn’t give a fuck.
I head back to Fremont, by way of Las Vegas Paiute smoke shop to get some cheap cigarettes.
I take a nap and go back out. It is one of those nights, I cannot hit for shit on anything. I hate these nights.
My lonely win:
I went to Magnolias to get another avocado club melt and they don’t have them today because they are short staffed. OMG WHY.
I am trying all over the place here. The D, cannot win. Binions, cannot win. Fuck it, let’s go all the way to Main Street Station to play the 50-cent Double Double Bonus machine that was so nice to me earlier in this trip. NOTHING.
It appears I have overstayed my welcome?
I collected my cash back from both Binions and Four Queens. I head to the room where I pack a bit. Then Dunkin Donuts. Then losing money. Then room. Then Dunkin Donuts. Then room to pack. Then Dancing Drums. Then Moolah. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. I cannot get a damn thing started.
I have been very lucky throughout this entire trip so I can’t complain too much, but I can complain a little, right?
Good night.
