Dog morning Las Fucking Vegas! Yes that is an intentional pun! Hello Bellagio fountain view! HI! I love you!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS LIKE WHOA!!!!!
I am up at 8:30 and out at 10:30. Not so much because lazy slob, but mostly “LOOK AT MY VIEW!!!” I mean, come on now. It is beautiful.
Speaking of beautiful, before breakfast I play some Cleopatra Keno and hit 7/9 for $100 YAY!
I am a bit upset that either my former Cleopatra Keno machine has been moved, or perhaps her sound was just changed? There was one that was my favorite that always played fanfare music when you hit the bonus. I am in a bank she should be in if she is still here. But I have tried every machine in this bank without fanfare.
Breakfast is at Sadelles to use my dining credit from my offer. This is not my favorite place in the world. People love it, I merely tolerate it. I have never had fully cooked bacon here. I keep eating here because I have dining credit. I kind of need to stop that because I truly have never had a good meal here.
I have mentioned in the past how much I hate the Bellagio Conservatory. Okay not the Conservatory itself but taking and naming photos of it. So I skipped going in, but had to get this bear from just outside the Conservatory.
I stop at my Buffalo slot machine after eating and holy shit, I got all 15 heads on Buffalo Gold! I have never done this before, not even when I hit my 3 W2-Gs on this game. HOLY SHIT this was such an adrenaline rush. I have gotten 14 heads before (three times, hence my three free plays) and once you get that high, just about every hand is a ginormous win
I wish this had turned into a hand pay but I will gladly take $578.85.
I go to the room with $600 in winnings. Wahoo!
I chill out for a bit and go back out at 2:11 with $300. Thank you for writing how much you left with, finally.
I walk over to Cosmopolitan because STARBUCKS. There is a dog inside Starbucks YAY. Bonus, LOOK AT HIM IN THE BACKPACK! If the owner is somehow reading this, tell your dog I love him/her/them.
I played an Ultimate X video poker machine for way too long before I realize the card reader is not working. I lost $100 here.
I move to another Ultimate X video poker machine and turn $100 into $200.
I try a Buffalo Deluxe slot machine near my Ultimate X machine. I go down and up before I cash out $20 ahead. Back to Ultimate X, I lose $60.
I head back to Bellagio with $500 and lose $200 on Buffalo at Bellagio, leaving me dead even from when I left my room.
I stopped to take the photo I have taken eleventy billion times in Las Vegas. Not as cool as my room view, but tradition is tradition.
No matter how many times I go to Las Vegas, that view never gets old. Not even when I hate the Strip. Not even when I miss all the neon. It is always beautiful.
I get to my room completely exhausted but fight taking a nap for no real reason other than degenerate. I lose $300 rather quickly and end up calling it a night, mad at myself for losing that last $300. Because I didn’t need to. This is a forever pattern, except for when I win on that last gamble and that inspires me to keep doing it.
I wish I had been this much of a tired loser than I go to bed early back when I had that super comfortable bed on my last trip!
