Happy 2021! I wake up at Fremont this morning, raring to start the new year with a bazillion dollars.
Morning view from my bed:

New Year’s Eve starts at Fremont hotel at 4:00 AM because I never went to bed last night. I realized that I never used up my Flexibile Spending Account for 2021 so today is the last day. I pulled out my laptop and cross referenced between the FSA store and Target to order about $300 worth of stuff I definitely don’t need, but I will lose the funds if I do not purchase today.
I am out at 5:00 AM with the goal of heading to Cosmopolitan. I wait at the bus stop in the dark and a Deuce never comes. A guy happens to pass with his 2 adorable dogs. He doesn’t try to murder me, but he does try to talk to me. I hated it. He is a gambler and was talking about all his wins and asking me about mine. I am not really answering anything because I am on a dark street in the dark, all alone and isolated with this man who could rob and murder me without anyone seeing.

I am awake at Fremont hotel at 10:30 AM. I had originally considered going to an MLife property as I am checked into Excalibur and have about $90 resort credit left on my offer. But I instead went around doing the same thing I always do, just gamble. I honestly have no idea why people like reading these things sometimes, I feel like I am the most boring person on Earth.
I tried a new to me Cleopatra Keno / video poker combo machine, since my baby is always dead. I lose $80 and then got dealt 7s. Nice.

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!

I am awake at The D at 4:00 AM. Back in the old days before Covid, I would have skipped to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks and enjoyed having the casino all to myself. Now though, neither are open at 4:00 AM so I dick around the room for a bit before heading outside.
These guys scared the living daylights out of me when I opened the curtains.

I wake up at 10:00 AM at Sahara. I have an appointment to get a massage today. I want to blow dry my hair since I had added on a scalp massage, but there is no hair dryer in the room.
I got completely lost trying to find the Alexandria Tower. Well not so much lost as I did not walk far enough to find it and thought I was lost. I asked a security guard to point me in the right direction and he kindly escorted me all the way.
The spa was great. Isn’t it always? I love scalp massages.
Afterwards, I got on the monorail. This thing is so convenient only if you are staying at a hotel with a stop, and want to go to a hotel with a stop. This sentence sounds stupid to anyone who is not familiar with the monorail, but makes perfect sense to anyone who is.

I slept in at Planet Hollywood this morning. I had iced coffee in my refrigerator so I could skip a never ending line at Starbucks this morning. I need to do this more often.
I went down for breakfast and ended up at Hexx. I have more comps than I planned to since that asshole charged my credit card for the spa instead of using my comps. I am using the comps up and never playing at CET again, so I say.
Even though I am booked here for tonight, I am not staying here. I take an Uber to Sahara where I am staying for the first time since the last time it was Sahara. The check in line is long and slow. I move hotels a LOT in Las Vegas and I rarely encounter check in lines that take more than 5 minutes to get to the front, save for Cosmopolitan, and now Sahara.
The rooms here are kind of unique, but I didn’t love it. The view makes me feel like I am in a fancy city in Asia, and I don’t know why. Maybe my brain is in overdrive with wanting to get the fuck out of America and return to Asia.

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS FROM PLANET HOLLYWOOD WOO HOO!
I am up at 9:00 this morning. I need Starbucks. I am on the line for 45 minutes before I notice there is a Diamond line. Whoops?
There are so many people on line. Loud, unruly kids. Screaming, noise, people, screaming kids, more noise, enter even louder kids. It was so terrible. A barista came out from behind the counter to tell a kid to stop throwing sandwiches on the floor as the parents did nothing. Chaos.

I wake up at 8:00 AM at Cosmopolitan today. I am upset because I only have ten days left in this trip. I am fully aware how insane this sounds. Even more so today. I typed up a bunch of this trip report months ago, before I crapped out. As I am now actually pushing myself to post, it feels a bit much to have been writing for dayssssssss and still have 10 more posts to complete!
Today is my last day to take these photos!

I wake up at Cosmopolitan today. I did a thing that I have done a few times at Cosompolitan. I move around a lot when I am sleeping, always twisting and turning. At some point when rolling over, my pillow lands on the nightstand and my head follows it so I am sleeping with my head on the nightstand. I don’t know why I do this at all, or what about Cosmopolitan makes me do this. But whenever my hand touches something during this process, I am OMG WIDE AWAY WHAT THE FUCK TOUCHED ME?!?!
Sigh.
