The "Almost Live" Trip Report


Saturday

3:30 PM - The drive home was made in record time, 3 hours 15 minutes! It paid off to be the only male LEAVING Las Vegas today!

12:15 PM - Made the obligatory stop at South Point's Del Mar Deli which is an awesome little gem. I could easily eat there everyday. Time for the drive back to So Cal.

11:30 AM - Checked out of Harrah's then gas up and hit South Point for a quick bite to eat before leaving town.

9:00 AM - Started the day with a quick to Starbucks, a little video Keno and a shot at Megabucks.

2:00 AM - Had to go back downstairs for one last spin. It wasn't a terrible run but all in all a pretty crappy weekend of gambling...

12:15 AM - Back in the suite at Harrah's after getting a little beat up at the Venetian.

Friday

10:00 PM - After a few Corona's at the casino bar in TI, it's over to the Venetian for a little gambling.

8:30 PM - Dinner at Cantor's Deli at the TI. An expensive sandwich but pretty decent.

5:45 PM - Got a quick power nap and another cup of coffee and now ready to start the night with a trip over to the Mirage.

3:30 PM - I'm checked into Harrah's and was met with a pleasant surprise, a free upgrade to a 1 bedroom suite! Maybe they want a better review than I gave for recent stays at their sister properties, Flamingo and Rio! It been fairly recently remodeled and helps cushion the blow from leaving Bellagio!

12:30 PM - Over to The Cosmopolitan for lunch at the not-so-secret pizza joint. Its still is a pretty good slice for being 2,800 miles from New York.

12:00 PM - Checked out of Bellagio and was quite happy with the stay. Hopefully, the room at Harrah's isn't too much of a down-grade.

9:00 AM - Rolled out of the rack and got a much needed $4.27 cup of coffee at Cafe Gelato at Bellagio. Quick room comment... The "B" has the world's finest blackout shades! Not a single ray of light at all.

2:30 AM - Playing at Bellagio for over 2 hours and walked away even! Only saw the waitress once in that entire time. What is this? The Palms???

Thursday

11:30 PM - Back at Bellagio after another bad run at those damn penny machines!!!

10:00 PM - Lost my shorts on penny slots and had breakfast for dinner at the Cafe at MC.

8:30 PM - Kronenbourgs at The Pub at Monte Carlo. Good beer served by a good bartender.

7:00 PM - Arrived at Bellagio at 6PM after a beautiful drive up the 15. Check-in was fast and friendly and I am now in my room on the 19th floor overlooking the pool. First impression... nicely done!
