Day three of this Las Vegas trip report begins in my warm room at the Plaza. I cannot wait to leave this shitty hotel tomorrow.
Today I am getting the hell away from Downtown. I am out at around 9:00. One huge plus of being in the South Tower is that the exit to the Uber pick up is right here. Spoiler alert, when I need to leave with luggage tomorrow, the exit will be locked.
I take an Uber to The Egg and I. I have always wanted to come here for breakfast and finally after 2 decades of this place being on my itinerary, here I am!
There was a bit of a wait to be seated, maybe 20 minutes? Not bad if you have a car. But I don’t. There wasn’t much shade so I just kept walking and looking in store windows to kill time.
The food here was good. Not great. Not “paid for an Uber” kind of worth it. But still very good. Way too many potatoes though. I feel like you can see how salty they were. Also you keep that ketchup AWAY FROM ME.
After eating, I took the bus to Palace Station.
I start with Starbucks and get going on Buffalo. First I lose $20. But then I move machines and win $20. Holy shit, I have won something! Keep going. I win $40! I win $80! I lose $120. Shit.
On the way out I lose another $100 in Double Double Bonus Supertimes Pay. Oh well.
I get back on the bus and head to Sahara. I hate how far the entrance is from the bus stop.
I get a new card and have $10 free play and some dining credit I did not use. Probably should have seen if it was usable at Starbucks.
The casino is all a mess because they are doing construction. The casino also seems really small compared to what I remember. Not sure if this is actually the case or if parts of it were behind a construction wall.
I sit down at Buffalo Gold and fuck it, let’s go all out. YES!
Oh god bless you Buffalo Gold at Sahara!
I played a lot around Sahara. I moved up a level on their player’s card but did not collect my new card. I tried a new (to me) Monopoly game and won $60. Then just kept going on old school Buffalo Deluxe, one game at a dollar a hand. This blessedly kept me busy for over an hour. YAY look at me, I am finally PLAYING.
I had wanted to go to Stratosphere next but I have a pounding headache and it is now hot outside so I take the bus Downtown, transferring to something that stops near The D, which I don’t recall, but I have this photo.
Golden Gate, I have $15 free play. I play some game I had never heard of before called Wild Chuco. I won $100 on the Lightening Link feature. Woo hoo! I also hit this:
I accidentally left Golden Gate without cashing out my TITO. I was walking around the casino and an exit door I didn’t really notice opened with my motion and I just kept walking. It was a weird experience. If it was a movie, it would have been a door opening to a new dimension. In real life, my new dimension was Plaza.
Fucking FUCK this place. I lost another $200 on Buffalo.
Head to the room to chill a bit before going back out tonight. This room is the worst. It just sucks any last bit of luck out of me. Notice how the further I traveled away from it, the more I won?
I decide I am done playing until I switch hotels tomorrow. I went back out to grab dinner at Saginaws at Circa to go and ate dinner in my shitty, crappy room. I packed so I can get the fuck out of here tomorrow with the quickness.
Good night Plaza, I hate you.
