    I second this. I was hopeful for a miracle cure.

    Hope you feel better soon. I had the same thing hit me in February after a few too many Old Fashioned cocktails at Cosmo. I felt really bad wasting a day of the trip sleeping in the room.

    Sorry about the Vegas flu, @Chuck2009x. Cough (hair of the dog) cough.

    Hope you’re doing better now. And keep up the good gambling results!

    TV Land playing that Happy Days episode where Arthur Fonzarelli jumps over them sharks again?

    I can absolutely vouch for the cannabis hangover cure. I foolishly did not smoke weed until my senior year of college. The hangovers were terrible before, and bearable after. If I were you, I would skip the vape pen and eat a small dose of edibles. You will feel fine within the hour and your hangover won’t return when it wears off.

    We have found edibles to be beneficial. Not tried it for a hangover cure, but it helped us to sleep well.

    @Chuck2009x , it's definitely not a cure all, as too much of anything can be until unbeatable...but do you take milk thistle in Vegas? I know @ardee , my other fellow "love to indulge" doppleganger brings it, like I do. (I'm still jealous of her travel martini glasses kit!!!)

    It DOES help if you take it pre-drinking, pre-bed, and upon waking, and it also helps protect the liver a bit. You might pack some next trip.

    I also bought trizoral a few trips back for hubs, as I read good reviews VMB---- not bad to have post-decandence. (Basically balances electrolytes). We haven't really tried it yet though, as I just keep it just in case.

    Haven't had enough experience with Trizoral to say one way or the other, but milk thistle is an absolute STAPLE in our Vegas "must bring" list...

    PS not that I would know, as I am an angel, and would never, ever indulge while in Vegas!

    Found a 50 cent denom 2-coin Double Diamond machine near the shops passageway, also right outside the new (I think) Snacks quick serve place. That's a good place to get cheap coffee early in the morning but I'm not sure I'd order any food there.

    Machine played well, +$231 on $522 coin-in. I think I'm probably done at Bellagio. Up $1,300 for the trip on about $16,100 total coin-in, crazy.

    Moved over to Cosmo this morning, took about 90 mins but I got an unrenovated Terrace Suite in the mid-20's.

    Just got back from dinner at Holstein's. Played a quarter Cleo II just outside the HL slots room at Cosmo, was getting absolutely schmeissed, minus $700 on not much action, held out for a bonus and got about $300 back.



    Went over to the same Buffalo Gold machine I had a ~$900 hit on last trip and loaded my $325 freeplay, hit this bonus with about $80 of the freeplay left:



    $1,605 in, $1,687 out. So still up. $1,377.

    You have an interesting collection of past tense verbs.

    I can pretty much guarantee I got that from a beautiful Jewish girl in Vidal Sassoons and clogs and who had a rolling machine and weed all the fuckin' time.

    Tell me you don't pack a flameless candle @Chuck2009x ....

    If you do, then you might win the VMB prize for "packing for self-pampering!" ;) (And considering we often aren't a low-maintenace lot.. that is quite the feat...)
