Today is not only Christmas Eve, it is also unfortunately day nine of thirteen, my trip is almost over.
I head downstairs at Orleans for breakfast with $25. Breakfast is actually at Starbucks because I have a $100 gift card. Starbucks is supposedly only two blocks away from Orleans but this is Las Vegas so that two block walk took about fifteen minutes.
Tuesday, December 23, 2014: Day Eight of Thirteen
I woke up insanely early today in my comfy Cosmopolitan bed and have what I recognize as an uncontrollable urge to go degenerate gambling. I want to gamble. I want to gamble NOW. I want to put every dollar I own into the pretty machines downstairs.
I have been pretty good for days, but that was only because I messed up so badly on day one that I had a choice to either continue doing things that would send me to the ATM, or to slow down gambling. I chose the latter but I am CRAVING a binge session on video poker.
The sun isn’t even up yet and I am FIENDING. What to do? I don’t really understand how I came up with this plan, but I decided to: Leave all my money in the room safe, walk to Walgreens across the Strip, get a Diet Pepsi, get $40 cash back and use that and only that to gamble. It seems like a pretty good idea. If I win, great. If I lose, the walk back to the room to get more money might cool me off. Right?
Saturday, December 25, 2010 – Day Twelve of Nineteen: Merry Christmas!
[This is part twelve of a nineteen part trip report. If you would like to start at the beginning, go here.]
I wake up at The Orleans with my huge $35 win from last night in tact. I go downstairs with $170. This is a sure sign of degeneracy because The Orleans is off strip so there is nowhere for me to go. Thereby, I do not need that much money in ONE casino.
I managed to get it up to $220 and played back down to $170. See? I told you I was degenerate.
Quarter Double Double bonus video poker. I hit four of a kind eights into sixes and back into eights.
Sunday, December 1, 2013 – Day Six of Eight
[This is part seven of a ten part trip report. To start at the beginning, go here.]
This morning I woke up with my alarm at 9:00. Figures that I am finally actually sleeping on a day I have to be up to check out.
Today is Free Play Day I will be using all the free play I have saved up and I will win a bazillion dollars with it.
