Today I am checking out of California and leaving Downtown. I will be at the Orleans for the next two nights on a comp. I take a cab and pay with a credit card as I do not want to give up all my newly lucky glittered bills. I did not realize there was a service charge of $3 for using a credit card. That $3 will stick with me just as long as the stupid $1.08 from Dupars will, and that will be forever.
At the Orleans, I get room 1764. The toilet never stops running.
My offer comes with a $10 food credit. I use it for a cheddar cheese omelet at the coffee shop.
My offer also comes with $5 free slot play from a mailer. The intent is to play $40 and free play and go to the room for a nap. I almost do this but then…
I bet you thought I was going to say “I decided to gamble more” didn’t you. Well I didn’t. I did go outside to get some Diet Pepsi and got a movie from Redbox while I was out there.
I am in the room at 1:30. I take a shower, put on pajamas, watch a movie and have yet another failed attempt at a nap.
I go back out at 3:30. I lose $20, never wrote on what.
Nickel Double Double Bonus video poker:
$5-$40 Aces. I have not seen Aces in days and it figures when I do, it’s on nickels.
$5-$0

I mosey on up to an All That Glitters 2 slot machine and there is a penny on heads next to it! Finally, I am going to win eleventy billion dollars!!!
$5-$20
$5-$0
What the hell? That’s not eleventy billion dollars. Screw you All That Glitters 2. I’m going home.
I stop and get take out at Fuddruckers and take it back to my room to watch a movie.
Out at 8:00
$20-$35 – four of a kind fours.
$20-$0
I decide to keep the $35. That’s right. I continually put back hundred dollar wins. But that $35? That I keep. Sigh.
Good night.
