Vegas and Reno and Laughlin, Oh My! 6/11 - 6/25

Filthy cherry mule, wedge salad, and prime rib sliders. The sliders were particularly fabulous.

 

Cornerstone is a gem, particularly at HH. We used to have dinner there a few years ago (Pre Cornerstone) - a very good deal. It, plus the Prime Rib Loft at Orleans, were very good alternatives to the Strip.

Lost $100 on ~$3,000 coin in VP watching hockey game. Plus lost $10 on slots.



Went up to bingo room and thought about doing 9PM session, but chickened out. I find bingo so intimidating. WTF is a rainbow pack? Do I want validated? One of these trips I’m going to force one of the VMB bingo experts to take me to a session and teach me the lingo.

May go back down for one more swing at VP, but may just chill in the room.

Plans tomorrow: downtown to cash in FP, maybe some play at QQQQ, flying home.

 

Catch them at a slow time. The cashiers will walk you through all of it. Did it a couple of times at Plaza with their bingo match play.

 

Just a guess, "Rainbow Pack" probably means a card (or electronic cards) of each color. Each color costs a different amount of money, and awards the bingo prize in proportion to its bet amount.

M, being cheap, plays all blue cards.

 

I've played and still don't understand all of it. Thank goodness for the electronic devices that beep when you have it.

 

Somehow I was hungry again. So went down to Ping, Pang, Pong for some dim sum. But first a little slotting moving the score for the day from ($10) to +$30.

FP conversion starts with a whimper. $50 at Golden Gate into $20.

 

The D went better. $200 into $261.25.

 

Down $300 on ~$8,000 coin in. Lots of 4 to a Royal teases. Next trip I’m totally getting a Royal.

 

FP conversion went well. Turned the $200 from the promo into $337.50.



Has there always been a giant aquarium in the Four Queens lobby?

 

Won $50 slotting around at the airport. And had shake shack.



About to board my flight, so that’s a wrap. I haven’t done the final tally, but estimate I lost slightly less than $2,000. I generally prefer winning, but that isn’t too bad for all the gambling I got in. Still dreaming about a dealt Royal on 100-play.

 

@eliza - thanks for the TR. Safe travels

 

I enjoyed following along. Looking forward to the next trip.

Thanks for taking the time to let us follow along.

 

I don't know. I noticed it last month but don't think there were fish in it. I noticed it again on the multiple trips to the front desk it took to check-in on Thursday.

Safe travels!

 

Four Queens posted on social media about the aquarium. Sounded like they are going to move it around the property and keep the public updated to where they can find it? The property is the size of a closet so not sure how many options they have

 

@eliza thanks again for the great trip report. Also thanks so much for meeting up with me twice for meals and drinks. It’s really great to meet a cool, savvy gambler as yourself. I get so much enjoyment and learn a lot from reading your reports. The way you do Vegas inspired my own trip. Thanks again.

 

Thanks. Back next weekend? Please

 

Thank you for another great trip report.

 

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your TR. I’m looking forward to following along on your next road trip adventures.

It was great seeing you again at the Border Grill brunch; such a fun time with everyone there.
