Christmas Trip to Las Vegas: Last Full Day Featuring a Run In With the Worst RTC Employee Ever.

13 Replies

I woke up at Four Queens very early this morning. I had originally planned to go to Sunset Station for breakfast since I have a free buffet from MyVegas. But I kind of didn’t want to go. But I kind of felt like I should go. I have not left downtown since arriving here Thursday. Today is Saturday. I do need to go to the Strip and take photos. I sit around trying to decide what to do and my final decision is to go outside and take pictures of Fremont Street before all of downtown wakes up. Then I will figure out what I want to do after.

Las Vegas: Double Aces Day!

Tuesday, December 28, 2010 – Day Fifteen of Nineteen

[This is part fifteen of a nineteen day trip report. If you would like to start at the beginning, go here.]

Up at 8:30 at the Imperial Palace. Breakfast is at their buffet. There are people out there who will swear that you will die if you eat here. I always get so annoyed at how ridiculous these people are. But today when I took a bite of a chocolate chip pancake only to discover the chocolate chips were raisins, I started leaning towards joining the boycott.

I went next door to Harrahs for some Starbucks. I miss having a Dunkin Donuts nearby. I came back to the Imperial Palace to play Ultimate X video poker in nickels:

$20-$0
$20-$35
$20-$0

Today I am moving hotels again. This time to the Riviera. So many people hate this place and rant and rave about “THE SKY IS FALLING. IT IS A DUMP. SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK” I happen to love the place. First, it gets my vote for Las Vegas casino with the best exterior visual. Continue reading →

Las Vegas Trip Report: December 19, 2008 – Day Eight of Twenty One

Note: This is an older Las Vegas trip report that I am posting for the entertainment of Las Vegas addicts and anyone else who loves fun. It was written back in 2008. Most of this information is now outdated and some places mentioned no longer exist.

Friday, December 19, 2008 – Day Eight of Twenty One

I wake up at the El Cortez. Again my notes start off with me whining about my trip being almost half over. I am also mad at myself because tomorrow is supposed to start my $170/day budget, but I’ve gone so far into the future that I’m now down to about $130/day.

Today I am up at 9:00. First day of the trip I have woken up to an alarm clock, first day of the trip I have sort of slept in.

I head over to McDonalds for breakfast (Seriously, yes. Seriously, suck it)

After eating, I then come back and do the El Cortez daily free slot tournament. I get nothing. I go back upstairs and pack and whatever and I find my shirt that I nearly cried over losing last night. Eeeeeeee! Now if only I could find the metaphorical shirt I seem to have lost in every slot machine I have sat down at.

[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.
