    Then played the cute new Cashman Kingdom.

    Surprised GVR has this, since they seem to be behind on getting new games.

    Then to 8/5 bonus that’s by the movie escalators (the rest are 7/5), but $2 min.

    I thought I had it.

    Out of money, and off to bed.

    Sucks about the losing in the beginning, and the brutal BJ session. But at least the dealers were nice, I've always had great dealers regardless of game at GVR. Always very personable.

    Good luck today and the rest of the trip!

    I do need to squeeze in one last Circa visit from our infamous ghosting host, but it's always hit or miss.

    I'll be in town, and my sister will also be near at Cosmo, so hope so. Only thing is that I don't know when my Venetian slot tourney times will be and whether they conflict.

    Thanks, it's been so long! Monkeys didn't come, but I haven't given up hope yet. Cows are still on my blacklist.

    One handpay to rule them all.

    Starting to wonder if I'm wearing a hidden ankle bracelet preventing me from leaving!

    Ah yes, it didn't make sense at first but supplements sounds right. They talked the whole way, so I'm glad they didn't engage me in conversation.

    Whenever anyone asks at the tables, I should say Medicare supplements instead of dolphin trainer. Maybe Medicare for dolphins?

    Welcome aboard! Can't wait for your Vegas TR in a week.

    I missed Milos at Cosmo, but I remember when they announced it at Venetian, and the opulence I felt on first entering. Feels like a Wynn restaurant at a discount. And their octopus is to die for. You'll love it.

    That'd be nice. but I'd settle for no more pulled teeth!

    Not all heroes where flip flops.

    Keep me in check! I'm so liable to lean one way (food pics) than the other (workout).

    Sometimes I think I could be in a simulation, but no one would create a world where you continually lose this much for so long (I'm not even talking my recent TRs, but going back years). Vindictive computer programmers!

    GVR has a section near the east tower elevators that's been remodeled. New carpet, new lighting. Even the room number plaques have been upgraded. Thinking they're testing them out in a real world situation. Now I wonder if those rooms have also been remodeled or if it’s just the facade.

    Will see if I can take a peek over the next couple days.

    Tomorrow’s gift is this cordless screwdriver. I’d prefer lounge pants.

    However, this would be handy to unscrew hotel window and balcony doors to get them to open more than 1 inch.

    When you head back to Venetian, can you post a picture of the current bath gel and lotion? Last time I stayed there they had changed it and I hated it so much I walked over to Wynn and purchased their products in the gift shop. If we stay at Palazzo next month and they're still using the same stuff, I may need to bring my own products. :) Thanks!!

    Wow, welcome back!
    If you happen to be around a week after 4th of July, a meet might happen.
    Well, good luck this trip!

    Oh... that was better

    I was going to try
    One Chip to rule them all, One Chip to find them, One Chip to bring them all and at the tables bind them.

    Three handpays for the tourist droves, under the CET sky,
    Seven for the locals in their bingo halls,
    Nine for @maxev , destined to win big,
    One for Elvis on his neon throne;
    In the Land of Vegas, where handpays lie.

    I'm in the same boat, my slot tourney time might conflict. But I am hell bent on making it to the group slot pull no matter what. If there is a time conflict, I'll just pay my portion to Marky or Kellywest a day early, and then run over to Bellagio as soon as my tourney session is over.

    Back for more torture with a smile. This time, the other side of my mouth.

    But there are smiling bolts on the wall.

    My room apparently doubles as storage.

    Turns out the second half deep cleaning and filling(s) isn’t until next week.

    Today was just to check on the healing progress of the tooth extraction 2 weeks ago.

    I asked about the hard bit scratching up my tongue (which just popped off on its own a couple days ago), and she said it was likely a bone spur, and that I would probably have one on the other side as well.

    I’m developing a mini-crush on my dentist, but I can’t tell if it’s because of Stockholm Syndrome or she’s had her fingers in my mouth.

    You get more accomplished in a day than I get in a week. Nail that huge hit so you never have to leave the city that never sleeps.
