Las Vegas Trip Report: Let the Degeneracy Begin!

February 3, 2018

I had set my alarm to make sure I got up on time to go to Venetian.  Wait, I am going to the Venetian?  I hate that place. It smells like dirty diapers.  But you see, they have a Shar-Pei display for Year of the Dog, so I kind of have to.

I booped all the noses on the little Shar-Peis.  I could not reach the big one though. Sigh.

The Venetian is still pretty to look at, even though it smells like dirty diapers.

I went back Downtown and played Buffalo at Binions.  I did not win anything.  I ate breakfast at the coffee shop at Binions, still using my endless pile of Motherlode vouchers.  At the time of this trip, I noted I still have $55 in comps at Binions.  At the time of writing this report, I have close to $150.  Guess I may have to start actually using them since the Motherlode promo is no more.

Back to Fremont for some Supertimes Pay Double Double Bonus video poker.

I went up to my room to nap and then out one last time before going home.

Dinner was at Binions, still using Motherlode promos.   I had 5 left over that I never got to use.

I played around back and forth between Binions and Fremont.  I actually played 50-cent video poker, which is normally too rich for my blood, but sometimes ya gotta do it.

I went back to my room to pack and go.   I took the CX bus to the airport.   I lost a last $50 at the airport because fuck you.

I still have two more trip reports to write up.   So if you can still stand reading anything I write after this, you have that to look forward to.

    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.
