Run Like The Winded! Turning a Year Older in Vegas, 1/28/26- 2/3/26

I'm still alive!

Kept the phone in the purse and just cruised all the downtown casinos last night.
Made a small scene at midnight, shouting "happy birthday" and embarrassing hubs a bit.
We had lots of fun, but the bankroll was dwindling, and hubs was tired. I sent him off to bed, and sat myself at a VP machine inside Main St Station to wind down with a lil play.

I was down to just a few more bets before calling it a night, when this lovely surprise popped up!

Nice RFE! I love those old school MSS machines. The "25c" looks like one of the denom images I deliberately enshittify and post to troll folks playing at lower denoms :thumbsup:

Congratulations!!! 👏That is my game and my hand. I always call come on aces and a deuce. Also one of my email addresses.
 
Slept until almost 1pm today 😱 These vacations are so exhausting anymore! All that button pushing, ugh.
Nah, I'm sure it's mostly the late nights, shiny video screens, and age that's the true culprit... ah, to be young with boundless energy like The Real Boyfriends of LV. And don't whine to me about your bad back, @VegasFLMan! I've got a titanium rod fused to my spine and cannot bend over to tie my shoes, while you've got youth on your side. And you walked from the Strip to DT. So hush 😘
But seriously, it was fun. And it was great meeting you guys... hopefully we meet up again in the future and can grab a meal or take over a section of bar to see who plays a better VP.

We only brought home 1/5 the bankroll and hubs is saying we need to rethink going to Vegas so much. Meanwhile I'm planning the next trip LOL.

I failed on keeping up with this TR the last few days, but it was mostly due to the gambol which took a nosedive. And laziness.
We weren't able to do as much coin-in as I'd hoped, and my offers will likely suffer for it. *sigh* I remember the not-too-distant past where we'd get lots of VP hits and the slots were paying... it's just not like that anymore. Or we just haven't figured out how to "do it right" 🤷‍♀️
Maybe we've used up the luck. Yes, I had two decent hits this trip (1k or more) but hubs had none. And he used to hit at least one Major or Royal, plus lots of sub 1k wins per trip! Heck, we had a trip a few years back where he hit one Major on Dancing Drums each day. Hence, why I say we've used up our luck.

But I digress, we had fun, hubs enjoyed his Vegas birthday, and that's really all that matters.

Thanks to all that followed along... I hope you got some entertainment from my lil ole report 😊
 
Great report and pics. Vegas is much different for my wife and I now than it was 30 years ago. Late night partying and gamble have gone by the wayside, for the most part.

Thanks for taking the time to post.
