    Just got caught up.

    This is just what the doctor ordered. Love a nice semi live trip report.

    Chandelier has always had 25 cent VP, unless they changed it. Which I hope not! You may have just sat at one of the higher demon machines?

    Love how much sight seeing you've packed in thus far!

    Beautiful view from Cosmo. I know you'll miss that, but leaving it for Flamingo is better than leaving it for the airport. :D

    Love how thin the crowds have been.

    Have a great and winning day!

    Ditto, I paid for a terrace suite. I told my wife we will save money because we will spend more time in the room. Haha

    Vegas pool water always seems cold when the air temp is high. Especially if the pool you're used to is 91F. Most Vegas pools are in the low 80s.

    Walked? I thought someone reported they fixed these things.

    Yeah what was $2? Single line video poker starts at 25c per credit. Max bet of 5 quarters for comped drinks.

    You can play some games at the nickel level on some machines even, like Super Times Pay. But you have to be betting a total of $1 minimum at least for comped drinks.

    Awesome trip and report so far. I'm so glad there's more to come!! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.

    Vegas looks very quiet now.

    My assumption is he sat down at a game that was recently played at $2 and didn't check before pressing the deal button

    Great report ffejry! Thanks for taking the time to bring us along.

    Just made my Friday afternoon at work a lot more interesting, but very jealous as I sit here expecting my 23rd September flight to be cancelled!

    I was distracted by the "worker" so I inserted 100, got 3 of a kind and something else. Noticed I went from 120 to 110 and that's when I noticed the denomination. I didn't think to press the denomination to change it to 25 cents (I assume that's an option?).

    I'm generally too polite to tell someone not to bother me so I cashed out and left... I'm too nice!

    Showered. Check out is in an hour. Gonna play a bit.

    Slept well. Not as great as last night but only woke up twice. Really need to figure out where the pillows are from. They are perfect for me.

    That game was a bust. It is kind of like oceans bubbles slot. Except hardly any hits.

    I used my leftover bankroll from yesterday for this session so 50 bucks. Not a bad thing!

    Should have stuck with Happy 8s. That game gives back so it would be a great game to earn identity points without going broke ASAP

    Fyi, mask compliance is about 99 percent. Very rarely see anyone without one. Haven't seen a situation where security needed to say something

    Don't think I'll be able to check into flamingo early, so I packed my gray bag with essentials like battery pack and stuff.

    Now I just realized I'll be carrying 2 bags for the walk to flamingo. No biggie. If I get in early, great. If not, then no biggie either. Can do chip run for mid strip if I need to kill time. Or get a handy. Either one works!

    Enjoying the balcony for the next 20 mins before I check out.

    It just occured to me that I haven't seen the mirage volcano going off at all the last two nights. Is that still a thing?????
