May Variance be on Your Side! Vegas! Semi (a)Live 10-09 > 10-13

Nice work at GN!

 

Good Morning Vegas!

Yesterday my wife flew in, transferred over to the Bellagio. Had dinner at Gallaghers at NYNY, food was good, service not so much.

I have a gripe, about restaurants in general, no free refills on a soda. And for another, not saying anything verbally or on the menu. I get it, its supposed to be high end...you shouldn't care about it. But 2 times asked if I wanted a refill, I said yes, another she just brought one...then charged $4 each for them!! And they were maybe 8 ounces after all the ice! Sorry I don't like that practice and shouldn't have to ask. If I had known I'd just spend a few more bucks and drink beer...

Anyway, we walked to and from NYNY, stopped at Cosmo chandelier for a Tom Collins (great!) and my wife a Tequila Sunrise (also great!). Played 75 FP lost 150 there playing a 10 WoF.

By the time we got back to B we were awfully tired! So we ended up retiring to our room at 7pm...haha Lame yes but she was tired from travel and me from downtown. Got a GREAT 11 hours sleep and now off to breakfast.

Fountain view room

 

500 hit at Golden gate WoF

 

Nice hit on WoF! And yeah it's BS to charge for soft drink refills unless you state it as policy, imo.

 

Older gentleman next to us earlier at Vue bar hit royal for 1250~...was great seeing him and his wife taking pics and calling their son.

 

secret pizza line was long so we got a slice and fries from Snacks at Bellagio...yuck almost inedible. enjoying some beers in the room and the fountain shows.

Didn't do much gambling today...played a Flintstones slot, won 2 of the Buy A Bonuses and lost 1 of the "won" bonuses. -80 there

Played dancing drums at varying bets between 2.88 and 5.88 a spin, up 300 there, yeah!

downtown earlier, wife played craps for first time and doubled up! go wife! She usually just watches me but I convinced her to give it a go.

 

Lesson learned! Secret pizza is always worth it!

 

This happened to me at Bardot brassiere few years ago. No price for sodas on menu. First one they brought was in skinny bar glass full of huge cube ice cubes very little coke. When I asked for a refill she then said each one was $5
She then asked if I wanted to speak with a manager and I replied yes
He didn’t come until we were leaving and didn’t really do anything. He offered to remove the refill charges but I didn’t accept any refills

 

We were bad... Put 300 in a WoF 10 dollar slot.

3rd spin... 2k!!!

 

Drink service sucks Bellagio floor but handpay slot attendants extremely quick!

 

Played a bit more after the handpay
Video poker at the Baccarat bar I lost 80 before my comp drink even came...boo...

Played some dancing drums and got some good bonuses...heres one while it was counting up, was 200 something betting 2.64 a spin

 

You should have asked them to bring a drink too! Haha

 

Boarding now back home.

Sad to leave! Good trip overall, lots of ups and downs, but ended up leaving just over a half of the bankroll behind.

We went over walked to the Wynn this AM and played a bit thru the slots to try and generate a teaser offer for our next trip. Started off great we got to 300 points playing a Dancing Drum machine, got the new member spin of the lowest prize 10 freeplay. We then racked up 3800 more points playing a 10 WoF, getting a few spins between 250 and 600. Ended up down 300 on that but got a lot of play and spins on it. Played a 25 WoF slot in their High Limit on way out, on the 3rd spin got 1175 on a Wheel spin (yes!) and walked out of the Wynn . We played some craps on the way out too and ended up losing 400 there. But overall a good hour of play earning 4200 points hopefully generating a good teaser. We also earned the 2 free buffets wish we had more time to enjoy that before leaving.

Until next time Vegas!!

 

Darn it. I hate when that happens!

 

Nice trip thanks for taking us along!
