Good morning Las Vegas.

And fuck the MLife mobile app for doing maintenance when I needed to get into my room after smoking / before work.  I had to go to the front desk and get a key.

Played Buffalo – I love early morning wins.

I was up ontime to get Starbucks before work today so you just know it is going to be a great day.

Played some more Buffalo because why not?

Time for work!

After checking out of Mirage, I moved to California.  I did not gamble on my way out of Mirage.  Glad I left there on a bad note (digital key) so I don’t mourn it when it is gone.

I had a feeling that today would be the day where I had an issue trying to check in early and I was right!  Fuck. I am still working today.  I sat in the lobby with my laptop on my suitcase and worked from there.  I am starving and miserable.  I did not get a room for two hours and eventually had to take a work meeting standing outside in the valet area in 100 degree weather.

I thought this was a dog but it was a sandbag.

Came inside from my meeting, dying of sweat.  The woman who checked me in was not at the front desk so I thought I would try my luck with the TWO people who were there and were actually giving people rooms.  As I am waiting, my woman comes back and tells me my room is still not ready.  She put me in a specific room so I literally have to wait for that one room, I cannot get just any smoking room in the queue.  I am now hot from being outside, still starving, and very very very beyond cranky about this turn of events.

It is 2:00 and my room is still not ready.  At this point I could check my luggage and pee (I need to pee) and eat (starving) but am going to ride this out.  I tried to get late checkout at Mirage but the app died so I got sidetracked.  I cannot get comfortable on this seat like I was before because there are people around me.  I am getting crankier by the second whereas I started out not cranky at all?

Finally at 3:00 I got my room!  I worked from the lobby for 3.5 hours, minus the meeting I took outside. Sigh.

Someone got creative with the blinds not staying shut.

I dropped off my bags and got dinner from Market Street Cafe.  By now I am just done and fell asleep.  I woke up at 10:00, dying of thirst.  This put me on a fun mission.  All the soda machines have quirks. The one on my floor doens’t work at all.  I go from floor to floor trying to find one and the 20th floor has a machien that works but only takes change.  Lucky for me, I have a ton of change.  YAY.

I am not allowed to play the progressive dollar Double Double Bonus video poker machines here so I played them anyway and lost $500.

Then passed out.  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZz.
