If you have somehow landed on this page and would like to read this Las Vegas trip report from the beginning, you can go HERE.I wake up at Fremont this morning.  This is my favorite hotel.  The casino mostly hates me, but the ease of getting a large iced coffee early morning evens that out.  Fremont is going non smoking in December, just the rooms.  I have a reservation that I am going to keep because I love the hotel.  But having to put a bra on to smoke really isn’t something I want to do.  I predict I will have some $100 cigarettes.

I go down to play and lose $240 drinking my morning coffee.

I got on a bus to Excalibur to cash that stupid fucking TITO I forgot to cash when I was there.  I waited a very long time for the Deuce. It was FREEZING outside this morning.

Since I had to go back to cash the TITO, I decided to book an offer to make it even more worth my while.  I am not elligible for the slot play since I already used an offer this month and low played it.  But I am eligible for the dining credit.

I get Starbucks courtesy of my offer and play some video poker.  Lose that and move to Dancing Drums.  WHOA!
This alone made the bus ride worth it.  Well that and finally cashing my TITO.

I planned to use my dining credit for dinner but I decide I just want to leave so I do that instead.

Uber back to Binions.  I lose $100 here.

Golden Gate is also not kind to me.  So I go over to Plaza.  I was here yesterday but had forgotten my Las Vegas Advisor coupon.  I get $10 free play from that, plus an additional $25 in free play from an offer.  Glad I came back!
I love when that happens.

I walk back to Fremont and get Dunkin Donuts and head to the room to drop off some money.  I sat on my glasses which was really cool because TA DA!   I actually packed a second pair, which I never did before, but started to do on this trip.  On my last trip, a screw came off my glasses and I magically found it, which was a miracle.  So this trip I packed a second pair after that scare and actually needed them.

Went downstairs and played MY Cleopatra Keno / video poker combo machine and she threw up on me.
It took a very very very long time for someone to come and help me.   The whole Covid staff shortage thing.   The guy who did come help me, apparently worked primarily at California and he is helping out here and does not have the correct badge.  So a supervisor had to come and get him set up with that.  While waiting, he told me he hates this machine.   She is always broken!  But please don’t take her away from me permanently.

I had to try a new machine.  I’m not mad about it.
I played here for a very long time, going back and forth between Keno and video poker. I double a few bills on Cleopatra Keno, lost a few bills on video poker.  But it was one of those rare times where you could sit for hours and hours and hours and actually get to play without wiping out your entire budget. These sessions are fun.

Eventually I am exhausted and it is 4:00 AM.  I need to go to bed, but I also need to try $100 in Ultimate X video poker.  And that’s exactly when my fun holding my own time came to a grinding halt.

Good night.
