Day nine is here!  I wake up at El Cortez in Downtown Las Vegas at 6:30 am.  The next thing I wrote was “should have gone right back to bed.”

My shampoo opened in my bag and that sucked.  Not so much because shampoo is now all over all my toiletries, although that sucked too. But because I use fancy expensive shampoo to try and keep the hair dye in my hair, which is getting more impossible the greyer it gets.  Now I have to go buy some, but I don’t want to.   What I do want to do is whine.

I went outside to smoke and check my email.  It is time to check into Flamingo.   Except I accidentally booked a nonsmoking room.  NO.  So I cancel that and rebook but there are no smoking rooms today.  That’s okay because I was triple booked anyway.  So I rebook Flamingo for tomorrow and go about checking into Treasure Island and Mirage today.

Why was I triple booked?  Here is why:

I originally booked a semi-suite at Flamingo, which does not normally come up for me.  Then I got an offer from Treasure Island that came with $100 free play – sign me up!  I didn’t want to rebook Flamingo in case I lost the room type.  My Flamingo reservation was for four nights, Treasure Island was for 2.   Then just for the hell of it, I booked a Mirage offer for that came with $25 resort credit and $65 free play.  I have no intention of staying at Mirage because no smoking rooms.  But I want the freebies.  I am totally fine with burning MLife offers.  The resort fees alone are fucking ridiculous and my freebies will likely go away once the world goes back to normal, so why not.

I played a bit at El Cortez before and after breakfast.

Service at Siegels was horrible as usual.   I ordered scrambled eggs and got over easy.  I didn’t correct her because who knows how long I would have to wait for the order.  No one ever came to offer me more coffee.  After waiting about 25 minutes for the check, my server came over to bring me coffee and by then I was just so annoyed.  Where were you half an hour ago when I actually wanted a refill?

Time to check out.   I am normally pretty fucking great at having a $0 bill but I went over my dining credit by $7.33 and had to pay for it nooooooooo.

Uber to Treasure Island.  I got room 3653.  The woman who checked me in asked if I have stayed on THE smoking floor before.  Yes but I did not realize you only had one smoking floor.  So if you want to be guaranteed a room on the top floor, book a smoking room!

Treasure Island check in:

Treasure Island room:

For real, fuck you.

Much like my room at Luxor at the start of this trip, the safe in this room is also broken.   Sigh.   I do nothing about it and just hide my money in the room.

It is 12:33 and I have a text telling me my room at Mirage is ready so off I go to the tram, which is running!

I love Mirage.

I attempted to stop and get a new card since mine is not working.  The woman who was helping me locked herself out of her computer.  The only other person back there was helping someone, while not wearing a mask, for about 15 full minutes.  The line behind me was SO LONG.

I tried to use my free play on Buffalo Wonder Four but it was not taking bills.  Even though I have $90 free play (offer + MyKonami award) you still have to cover your first bet.  So I played a game named Can Can for the first time.

Wonder Four is now working!

It is time to go see my room. I like MLife’s online check in.  You actually check in online, are given a virtual key and are free to go.  No stopping at the front desk for any reason whatsoever.

My room is on the second floor.   So much for a free room upgrade for being Gold.

Room 290:

And an even shittier version of the shitty view I have at Treasure Island.  Fuck you.

PPE kit.

I take room photos and a video, that I will upload at some point in my life.  I go back down and play some Dragon Link.

Back over to Treasure Island to use my $100 free play + $10 free play from my birthday back in August.   Aces!

I stop and get some pizza and Sobe water, I LOVE SOBE WATER and bring it back to my room to eat and take a nap.

When I wake up, I am supposed to go to Wynn to see the damned water show thing I have never seen.   I don’t even make it outside.  It is freezing outside, which I feel when I walk near the exit.  I don’t want to go out there, I will die.  So I go degenerate instead.

Excellent.   I am officially even from tonight’s degeneracy.

I stop at CVS for some snacks, forget to buy shampoo, and go to bed.
