I wish I would have thought of that snappy post title a bit earlier!
Happy good morning Las Vegas! Today will be my last full day here. I need to finish visiting every casino on the Strip. I need to gamble. I need to get some photos of the Mirage atrium without a million people in the way.
And the casino.
My alarm went off at 6:00 am this morning, on purpose. My brilliant logic was that since I am at Cromwell, I can simply walk across the street at an insanely early hour and get pictures of the Bellagio conservatory before everyone else wakes up. But when I woke up, I laughed at myself and went back to sleep. Now I am kind of annoyed because I am doing that thing where I have 20 days in Las Vegas and am somehow still not doing all the things I wanted to do. Like walk across the street and take pictures. Sigh.
I went downstairs for some coffee. I ended up drinking seventeen cups total during my stay here at Cromwell. That makes the resort fee kinda sorta almost not really fair.
Every gambler knows about the $200 cup of coffee. You go downstairs in the morning, you order a cup of coffee from the cocktail waitress. You lose $200 before she comes back with your coffee. Since Cromwell has free coffee, I am trading out the $200 cup of coffee for the $100 cigarette. The hotel is non smoking, so I can only smoke down here or outside. I am not going to go outside when there are video poker machines inside so…
