    Ok, will post some pics of gambling later, but changed 450 free play to only about 260 cash. Been playing penny slots on a $20 bill for a while. 20-50c a spin. Had it up over $50 for a while, but that 20 is gone. However, I played it for a long time! Got a whopping 173 tier credits, lmao!

    This was the funniest / most embarrassing game I played, called OMG Puppies [emoji15] . Not exciting bonus round, it should probably have puppy videos or something haha!

    This is when I triggered the bonus

    $33 off a 50c bet

    Up in the Diamond lounge now at PHo. It's nice and roomy (with wifi)! Great drinks and food is decent for appetizers :)

    Then going to try to catch my host at Cosmo, it's her birthday today.

    On the way to diamond lounge - I thought it was glass, but I think it's sugar and other edibles!

    One of the areas at the DL. Bathrooms are nice and spacious as well :)

    What's ridiculous is that they have high limit OMG Puppies and people actually play it.

    Well, I got a 66x return on my bet (if I remember right), would be nice if it were a 5 or 50 dollar bet :)


    But yeah, don't want my friends to see me playing it ;)

    That dinner at e is a really good time, alexanbo and I did it a few years ago and had a blast.....nice amount of small plates. Are you doing the drink pairings? Those were my favorite part!

    Still I would have killed for a Runza halfway thru those mini-bites.

    I'm really looking forward to it, trying to take it easy until then. Which is why I think I'm going to wait to play poker until tomorrow :) I think I am going to do the drinks paring!

    I love Runza, when I first moved back to Nebraska I ate Runza everyday for lunch for weeks

    Perhaps that is why your hair has been growing so fast!

    On my annual trip to Lincoln we eat at Valentinos immediately upon arrival, before even seeing family. Runza the next day and some drunken Amigos late night. They need cheese in the runzas at the football game, but the hamburger pizza at the game is even better than at the buffet.

    I rate Runza cheeseburger #3 behind Portillos and Shake Shack, but firmly ahead of In-n-out

    That's OK, every time I am back home the first place I eat is Taco John's. Potato Oles FTW.

    I am loving your report and all the great pictures. Those photos of Cosmo with the terrace remind me of why I like those rooms so much though I don't have plans to stay there again soon. Thanks for sharing the cocktails list for the P Ho Diamond Lounge. That's a nice touch. I'll have to try a few when I'm there in 7 weeks!

    Continue to enjoy and know that some great wins are coming your way!

    Borat LOVES that place, I do also like it a lot, I used to get the 6-pack and a Pound....need to make room for that one of these years.

    Man I don't know how this poor girl is gonna stomach "e" after all this talk of gourmet food!

    Ok - quick update, up in room (Cosmo) to change clothes and charge my phone. If my math is right, I basically lost my free play cash + $109 of my dollars. So, I net lost $109 real dollars and earned over 1000 tier credits with CET, I'll take that! Helluva lot better than yesterday.

    By the way, I not only lost 1900, also lost over $480 in free play yesterday.

    So for the trip, net down about $2k. Will post some pics in a bit here :) I basically just stayed at Planet Hollywood. Will probably stick around Cosmo for now and might travel after dinner, depends how drunk I am from the alcohol pairing :)

    Here's a few pics...

    Nice hit here
    [​IMG]

    Another decent one here. Biggest one today I think.
    [​IMG]

    Also played Family Guy, it was fun, no big wins (in fact, if I hadn't played it I'd be even for the day)
    [​IMG]

    Didn't play these, but a few more machines at PHO

    Random pics - sunny out, but cool.

    The obligatory broken escalator pic ;)

    And when I got back to my cosmo room - my bed is magically made!

    Not responding to all the comments, need to charge up! But thanks for the nice comments and good wishes! I too hope to post a handpay pic! :D
    Good place to get drunk I suppose :) a few folks came in, downed a few drinks quick, then took one for the road, haha. I only had the one drink, really want to enjoy (um, and remember) dinner tonight. :)
    Yeah, I'm kinda craving that nebraska food now, don't know how the hell I'm going to eat that crap at e' ;)
