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!

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.

I am awake at Cosmopolitan at 8:00 AM this morning.  I always sleep with the curtains open, but the sheers closed.  The thought is that sunrise will gently wake me up, but I slept through the entire thing.

I picked up where I left off last night on Buffalo.

I am barely awake when I wake up at Wynn today.  I know this makes no sense but that is how tired I am.

As it is moving day and I am completely exhausted, I did the world’s quickest pack of my stuff, and had the world’s worst pack.  A great pack is when everything fits perfectly.  A bad pack is when you are just shoving shit in the bag as fast as  you can to get OUT OF HERE.

I called the Bell Desk to have my bag picked up and stored as I want to have one last breakfast here.  I had originally wanted to eat breakfast at all three: Jardin, Terrace Point Cafe and Tableau, but decided to just do Jardin a second time.  I am not sure what my logic was.

I had a reservation, which you really needed on this trip.   My reservation is at 12:30.  I take a table outside just because it is available.  Once again, breakfast is great.  My server was so nice but she could not figure out how to use my comps for my meal.  She kept telling me there was no money on my card.  Yes, there is.  Because Wynn excels at customer service, instead of arguing with me, she offers to call the Red Card booth for me and I say okay and prepare myself to just pay for the meal.  She returns and apologizes, she had been ringing it through incorrectly and it turns out I do have comps to cover it.  No problem at all.  You are so nice and probably new.

I played some Cleopatra Keno before eating and lost. These machines at Wynn are Satan.  Sometimes they pay big, sometimes they do not.  I haven’t gotten on a winning streak during my trip here.  Granted, I also barely played here since my room was booked through the Wynn app so I don’t owe Wynn a thing.

Well after eating I tried again and hit 7 out of 9 balls for a $100 win.  YAY.

I ended up sleeping 12 hours in my marshmallow bed at Wynn, save for the times I got  up and tried to get the fucking air conditioner on.  I seem to always have issues with temperature control at Wynn.  For such a fancy hotel, you would not expect this to be an issue.

I am still tired but must go on. Get up. Be strong.  You can do this. You can be in Las Vegas.  GO.

I had wanted to go to Resorts World, where I am still checked in, to use my dining credit.  But I am starving and don’t want to risk that any restaurant I believe will be open, is actually not.  So I make a reservation at Jardin.

I played at Encore to kill time before my reservation.  Of course, someone is on the machine I love.  I lose some money and then it is time to eat.

After breakfast, I took an Uber to Soulo Hair Spa for a shampoo and scalp treatment.  It is located in a shopping mall with Big Wong.
