Las Vegas Trip Report: Let the Degeneracy Begin!

February 2, 2018

I am sitting up in my bed at Fremont hotel at 7:00 am, tired as all hell.  Spoiler alert:  I do not go back to sleep.

I walked over to The D (stupid name) and played some Double Double Bonus video poker. I hit Sixes and Kings.


Then I played Buffalo and actually hit five coins for the first time in my life.  On a game where it really matters the most.  I cashed out and went back to my room only up $100.


I went back to the room to nap and shower.  I was back out at 2:00.  I hit Kings on my way out the door.

I got on the bus and went to Wild Wild West.  Played here for a bit and then attempted to buy cheap cigarettes.  I bought two cartons.   For some reason, she had to ring them up as separate transactions.  My bank was like “yeah no, duplicate transaction” and that’s when I realized my phone was broken and my texts responding to let them know it was okay, were not leaving my phone.  So I paid cash and lost out on those frequent flier miles dammit.

Took the bus from here to Hooters to use my LVA and ACG coupons.  I lost $15 doing so.  Continued on my way to Sam’s Town.  It is now 7:12.


I lost $40 at Sam’s Town.  My phone is not working and I cannot check the new shuttle schedule that is not yet posted in actual Sam’s Town.  I have to take the BHX back, I also had to run for it.  The entire bus was filled with people with shopping carts and airplane sized baby carriages.

I make it back to Fremont and stop at my room to drop off the cigarettes I have been carrying around for two hours.

I have $15 free play at The D so I head back there. I truly hate how loud this casino is.  I was fine with exiting immediately after losing my free play.

Back to Fremont.  I played nickel Ultimate X Double Double Double Bonus video poker and hit Aces x 2.

I move next door and lose $60 at Binions.  Dinner is at Binions coffee shop with a $15 Motherlode credit.

The next sentence in my notes is: “Plaza free play, suck my dick, lost $50.”  So there is that.  I sure as all hell will never remember what made me that mad.

I went back to Fremont.  I had $6 in free play so I played that on Buffalo and somehow managed to get it up to $110.

Time to call it a night?  Time to call it a night.

    When we went in December 2017 we loved the Aria buffet. Sucks that you didn’t.

    Glad you’re back posting!

    I was just thinking the other day… geez, whatever happened to Jennifer and her blog?? Imagine my surprise when I got an email notification! 🙂 I’m glad you are back as your posts always make me laugh, thanks!

    BTW, I’m sure any Nevada store would have cheaper cigs than New York, right?!

      Hi Steph! I bought full priced cigarettes in NY recently and they were $14. My corner bodega charges me $11. So absolutely yes, they are cheaper anywhere in Nevada.

    I love your trip reports Jennifer and this one did not disappoint. I would have carried those socks in my pocket for the rest of the trip, I have no shame. The escalator story was great but sorry you missed your bus. You did have a lot of nice hits and congratulations on all of them. I’m going to AC for two nights at the end of April, I may have to try the dirty sock method. LOL.

    Take care, Jim

    Avoid the Steak at all costs at the Fremont buffet, but their Spare Ribs and Chinese dishes are okay. Also, their rolls make a good late night snack. Their crap game is the best in Vegas, but their B.J. games are unplayable

      Fremont only offers 2x odds on craps and their blackjack is double deck. Where is your information coming from?

    Thanks to RF I have come across your blog, which I’m really enjoying working my way through.
    Your sense of humour really appeals to this English gent and I like how you write. However, I feel that I am missing photos on your posts that you refer to, unless that is part your style?

      Hi Ade!

      I typically do post the photos I am referencing although to get this report out, I did a last minute rush job and it is possible I missed a couple. I do have about 27 photos leftover where I have absolutely no idea where they belonged. Welcome to my mystery novel blog.

        Thank you for having me Jennifer!
        Your blog was fun and you certainly managed to get around Vegas a lot in order to lose your money. I’m looking forward to the next mystery novel 🙂

      Aw, I am sorry about your mom! I used to bring my mother on trips to Vegas and so many things remind me of her there.

      I still haven’t tried Bacchanal. I get so lost every time I go inside Caesars so I just stopped going there.
