Good morning day 9 of this Las Vegas trip!  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

I am up at 7:00 AM.  I don’t even try to see what the line for the coffee kiosk replacing the Wynn Cafe, which is under construction and closed.   I do a mobile order from Urth Café.  I had never noticed this place before, although I knew it existed.  Turns out I never noticed it before because it is a million miles away.   Great coffee, albeit overpriced.

I lose some money in a Buffalo Luxury Line and then some more in Cleopatra Keno.

Fuck it, let’s keep going.  Quarter Double Double Bonus video poker, loser.

These machines were all paying me last night.  Today, nope.

I was able to play Moolah.  There’s only 2 of these machines here and they are normally taken. I can see why:

Good morning day 7 of this trip!  If you somehow ended up here and want to start at the beginning, you can go HERE.

if you read yesterday’s trip report, you know that I spent the day playing all the same machines I have been playing for years and years and years.  This can make for a boring trip report, and also a boring real life experience, especially when you do not get a million dollar win for your efforts.  I decided that today, I will play only machines I have never played before.

I have absolutely no idea what the name of this machine is:

Welcome to day six of this trip report!  If you are looking to start at the beginning, go HERE.

This morning begins at Fremont hotel.  I slept in late.  Which apparently now means 9:00?

Out, stopping at Dunkin Donuts, obvs.  I played some single line Ultimate X Double Double Bonus video poker and hit 3s!

Welcome to day three of this trip report.  If you are lost and want to start at the beginning, go HERE.

Oh what a shitty day.  Woke up at Paris on day 3, somewhat on time for work.

Sunrise:

There needs to be a law about lines for food at 6:00 AM.  If your line has more than 2 people in it at 6:00 AM, you need to open another line.  The line at Cafe Belle Madeleine is so long.  Cafe Americano is open, but their comps redemption is 2-1, so fuck you.

Work work work all day like a jerk.  I hate working from Vegas.

I went out with $300 – did great on Buffalo. I missed taking one photo but have these:

Ahhhhhhhh yes.  I am flying to Las Vegas for my birthday.  This was supposed to be a quick long weekend trip.  Then I added some days.  Then some more.  Then spoiler alert: I added even more when I was there.  I think this was a 4 night trip that ended up being 21?  Whoops?

I have a flight at 6:13 AM.  I have so much JetBlue credit that is finally expiring so I had more than enough to overpay for a Mint flight so I did that.   When I booked, rows 2 and 4 were filled.  2 had one open seat late at night on the 30th, so I nabbed it woo hoo, total privacy!

I rarely fly early so here are some photos from the plane that I normally cannot get.
