If I keep adding “Vegas blog” to all my titles, maybe I will start ranking in Google as a Las Vegas blog!  Good morning Las Vegas day fourteen!  I am awake at Bellagio.  I apparently wrote “I HATE MYSELF” in my notes.   YAY.

I am awake at 7:30, which kind of sucks because I wanted to see the fountains as the sun was rising.  But I have now missed that.   Even with sleeping with the drapes open.  Oh well.

Here is a photo from last night:

I also have a video of the fountains.   Yes, there is a channel that plays the music in the room.  No, it was not working during my stay.

I have a reservation at Sadelles at 9:30.  Lackluster as always.   I want to be a person who loves this restaurant.  I just don’t see it happening though.  I should probably stop coming here but my dining credit is usually $50 and it is slim pickings for getting 2 meals in under $50.   Have I mentioned I am a cheap fuck?  I am a cheap fuck.

I ended up caving and walking through the Bellagio Conservatory.

I lost $20 on Cleopatra Keno.  Moved to MY Buffalo slot machine.  The first spin gets me $177.33.  I put it all back in.  Loser.

I get to the room at 10:49 to pack and move to Cosmopolitan.  I do this in the 11 minutes I allotted myself.

I walked over to Cosmopolitan.  It is not a far walk at all, but a bit ridiculous because I have to first walk from Bellagio to the Strip.  Then into Cosmopolitan where I now have to walk to the far back.  I wish they had mobile check in.

I  ask to pay for an  upgrade to fountain view.  I am told I have 2 upgrades for the price of one.  One to fountain view and one to a Japanese tub room. I don’t think the Japanese tub is an upgrade.  It is a downgrade because if I tried going near it, it would murder me. Which is unfortunate since the view from it is pretty sweet.

I am given room 6396 in the Boulevard Tower.  It is glorious.  Look at that fucking view.

I have had this similar room a few times and if you have stayed at Cosmopolitan, you have too.

I absolutely love these rooms.  I love Las Vegas.  I love the desert sky.  I love how it goes from clear blue, to navy and then to black.

After doing the thing where I drop off my bag, put my dog in his bed and sit on the balcony soaking in the view, it is time to go!  I take an Uber to Treasure Island.  I am checking in here, but not staying, to use $100 in free play.   I really like this place, I do.  But the machines don’t like me.  So I figure if I keep burning them, they will stop sending me offers and I will stop going here and losing all my money.

Flash forward a few months, my free play has dropped to $75 and my offers no longer include weekends.  I am kind of regretful because I do really like everything here except most of the machines.  I do love their Ultimate X though.  I am going to win them back.

I get room 36032.  It is a bit smaller than rooms I have had before, but with a way better view than I have gotten in the past.   Even with that burning fireball sun.

I ran my $100 free play though an Ultimate X video poker machine and got it up to $100 cash.  I have no photos of anything, so damned if I know how.

I went to CVS to get some snacks for my room back at Cosmopolitan.  They were out of a lot of things, which is both odd and annoying.

I went completely degenerate on my way out of Treasure Island.  WONDERFUL.  I lost all my cash YAY.

I took an Uber back to Cosmopolitan.  I grabbed $200 and went to the casino.   Half the casino is closed off.  I don’t know what they are doing but huge sections are completely roped off and the machines are off.  I cannot find anything to play.  I need to play.  Nothing to play.  LET ME PLAY.

The only Ultimate X video poker machine turned on is the one with the broken card reader.  Fuck this, I won’t play then.

I got Secret Pizza for the first time ever.  The white pizza is fantastic.  The regular pizza is just okay.  I ended up taking a can of Diet Pepsi from the minibar, who the hell knows why.   It was $7.  Wasn’t I just at a CVS?

Sigh, calling it a night.   Which may sound lame.  But look at my view!  This is my view.  I am sitting outside on my balcony in the cool desert air, looking at this view.
