After reading VMB, preparing for my 20th return in 4 years, VMB had me feeling a little off for my return.
Arriving Sat. the 14th, I was ready to test out taking Uber from the airport to Harrah's for the first time. After minimal confusion about where pick up was at, I found it and hit the Uber button on my phone. It asked me to create a new account, wait just two months ago I used it for the first time to get from Harrah's to the airport. WTF. Wait, an idea popped into my mind. Reboot the IPHONE. It worked. Requested a ride and got it for 10.67 and it arrived promptly. Greatt driver and great conversation.
Arrived at Harrah's and went to Diamond check in and was happy to get a upgrade to petite suite.
Had a blast blowing off much needed steam gambling and having fun.
The observations.... They tore out the slot machines across from Big Elvis by the exit to put in a second Starbucks. Was walking back in from breakfast at McDonald's having a cigarette as I passed the buffet and hit up for an extra, acted like I was deaf and the woman kept following me and asking, she tapped my shoulder and I turned around with a raised open hand. Was playing near the Total Rewards desk one morning when a female sat down slot to my right and whispered into my shoulder asking if I had an extra $5.00. I had $86.00 in my slot. I told her no. Saw her for the next hour going around asking other players. After an hour I saw her at the TITO machine cashing in tickets and then off to a a quarter machine. I walked past on my way to the restroom. She had 59 credits. When I came out of the restroom, she was gone. I never saw her again.
I had fun, not so much for others. Just thought it was funny how my trip reflected some of the recent threads on VMB that I read leading up to my trip.
