11.05.2018 You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter *
Hey Now! The Final Frontier yet again. The good news is that I gained an hour yesterday due to the powers that be changing the clocks back to Standard time. My flight leaves in the waning minutes before midnight tonight. I arise around 6 a.m. and check in with Delta. Then check in with my Sweet Ti to let her know I remembered to check in with Delta. Confused? I turn in the Silver Bullet after filling her up with 3.3 gallons of fuel. Cheap. It always seems to take forever to do any business at this Budget location. But I guess it's worth it for the price. Approx 160. for 10 days. I finally am done and make the highly illegal jaywalk across Tropicana.
Monday morning and I'm still here. Back at the Big Easy I'm talking to today's local, Elena. Elena works in the gift shop. She helped me pick out some jewelry for Sweet Ti last trip. She tells me that the Orleans charges them 35. a month to park on the 3rd florr of the self park. The 4th floor is free, but it's wide open. She used to park there till she fried the inside of her car. It pretty much melted it. Now she just pays the troll toll so she doesn't burn up another one. It should prove interesting when the Raiders start using the Orleans for off site parking. I'm getting a few things here to use up some BConned points. I plan on leaving today with very few. They expire in 6 months, so who's to say if I will set foot in a Boyd's joint by then. Besides, if we do make it to the IP, the Hosts can only offer upfront food comps if your BConned balance is zilch. Lesson learned from our first trip there. I thanked Elena and took my stash upstairs and began packing. At the gift shop I also snagged T shirt #5 for the trip. I have acquired half a new wardrobe including my new bibs. Good thing I brought that Resorts rolling cooler with me inside of Bigg'un.
I load it up.
Here's where we stand.
I gather up the spare change and TITOs leftover from the trip. 9. worth of hange and let's see how much this handful is worth-
111.82
plus this from last night.
I try some MS/STP Crack Whore but she is costly. I leave without my dignity intact. Ouch. How about some STP?
where's that spinner when you need it?
cash out, insert fresh hundy
cracked glass special comes thru!
Now to Higher Limit. I'm doing pretty well and decide to risk a hundy on 5. Wheel of Forutune. Let's follow along. Jim?
We don't need no stinkin' Wheel to win. I had to cut the sound on that video due to a copyright claim on the background music.
I just had to try some .50 Money Rain. 5. bet. I ended up pushing. I invade Invited Guests to settle up on the room even though I'm booked though tomorrow. May looks over everything and we are Golden. I still have around 50. in food comps to use up. Otherwise May doesn't see any charges but tells me to check at the front desk when I actually leave. She fills out the limo ticket for 8 p.m. IBack at Higher Limit I risk a hundy on Top Dollar Premium. I love the way the chair vibrates as you play. Couldn't scare up anything decent.
I boogied over to the Mardi Gras Bar and downloaded 200. in "quick play" whick is what they call it when you use your BConned points for "free" slot play. Meanwhile Sweet Ti's machine here is much too empty.
I always feel like such a kid in these high chairs on this side. Time to burn up some "free play"
W4 yet again
one last Buffalo if you please Jimmy.....
that's officially out of my system
Back to the Wally shorty for a last session.
Sweet Ti's machine next to mine. Sigh.
I even played a little 4 card keno on her machine. Now the next 4OAK will finish off the trip. I always like to end it all with a 4OAK
on crappy Boner Deluxe too!
More oysters and a cuppa Chowder keep me going.
At this point I need to get cleaned up and finish packing. I'm done with gamboling for this trip. I admire the dark halls one last time.
I finished organizing my shit and went back down to give Daniel my leftover ACG/MRB books. He was very appreciative.I ran into our Renneee finally after all this time. She is a slot attendant and works weird shifts. We promised that next time we would get together away from here. It's difficult, but it would be worth it. I made one last stop into Invited Guests and bent Linda's ear about my dissatisfaction with the new system. She said she had several big time players that were really pissed. VP players. Some have already left for good. She directs me to send them a message with my thoughts thru the BConned website. I actually did after a couple of days and never heard back. Linda is pretty sure that corporate is getting the message. Aloft one last time I leave a tip for the girls and grab my stuff.
i left the keys at the front desk and asked after the room balance. Goose eggs. Noice. John the limo jockey shows up and in mere minutes I am at LAS. I drop my bag and get in line at TSA. 20 minutes later I tram over to Concourse B. I realize that I left my pedometer at TSA so I reverse course. Grabbed it and journeyed the route once again. Just enough time left to grab a slice.
on my way back Sweet Ti!
The flights went like clockwork and I was back home by early afternoon. Great trip, lots of live music and the bottom line on the BR? Down a thousand. Not too shabby. Thanks y'all for making this traverse with me. See y'all next time!
Totals: RB- 7280. coin in 910 tears
Sweet Ti- 542. coin in 93 tears
Trip totals: RB -50,215. coin in 9623 tears
Sweet Ti 2942. coin in 543 tears
That's less than half my usual coin for a trip like this.
