The PLAZA Trip - Day 11- Saturday April 1, 2023

 Today is going to sound startlingly similar to yesterday.  I am nothing if not a creature of habit. I started the day by heading down to Binion’s for another free breakfast.  A man on Twitter told me to go ahead and eat the French Toast.  I was going to but Binion’s doesn’t have French Toast so I ordered some pancakes and bacon.  Delicious as usual.

After eating I went back to my quiet corner by the deli. I am getting quite possessive of that area.  How dare anyone intrude on my happy space? I played the same machine and it was cooperative again but wouldn’t cough up the deuces. I figure it OWES me the deuces now.  It did give me some good hands to keep me alive.

I left at noon to go down to the D to do my April free play.

There is some extremely loud man hollering in front of the Golden Nugget every day now.  I am assuming it is meant to be entertaining but I just find it loud and obnoxious.  

I returned to the same firecracker machine at the D and put in my $30 free play and $100 of my own.  I was having great luck and I got the machine up to $500!  I probably would have stayed and played it all away but some annoying women sat on either side of me.  I couldn’t take the hollering and the button whacking so I cashed out with $300.  Likely it was a good thing they came along. The Soundprint was 81 inside the D. It was 94 right outside their doors.

Next I wandered through the Fremont just to check out the changes. It has a dual personality now.  Half of it I don’t recognize and half is very familiar.

 I decided to take at look at the Four Queens.  It seems like it is frozen in time compared the other casinos downtown.  There wasn’t anything I wanted to play so I was making my way out when I heard someone calling my name. It was our lovely friends from Scotland, Pat and her hubby.  Poor Pat got sick and sent me a message saying we wouldn’t be able to meet up but we just ran into each other accidentally.  She can’t talk very well so her husband and I chatted for awhile. Hopefully Pat improves enough to enjoy the rest of their trip.

I moved over to Circa to play my $75 free play.  I can’t seem to hit much of anything there.  I loaded my free play into the Buffalo Chief Platinum.  I recommend NEVER playing this.  It looks like it has the possibility for big hits but the payouts are terrible.  You get excited when you see a 30 times multiplier but then it winds up giving you 6 bucks.  Very disappointing.  I tried a hundred in Wicked Wheel Fire and Ice but it wasn’t hitting today.

  I am including a picture of the plaque on Circa’s wall that mentions Vegas Bright.  Michael Movestro told me that other than himself, I wrote the most articles for Vegas Bright.  92 of them.  I didn’t even realize that but I am proud to have been a part of it.

I left Circa and crossed the street to Golden Gate to play my $20 in free play.  I played for a short time on the firecracker machine but then came back to the room for a rest.

After laying down for two hours I went back down to the Plaza casino and played video poker until nine.  For the people upset with me eating Big Macs you will be happy to know that I decided to buy a Subway sub for my room dinner. 

Tomorrow is my last day!  Sob! 

You know what I have not done this trip?  Go to ROSS!  But as my daughter points out, “Why do you keep buying new dresses when you don’t go anywhere?”  She has a point.  Maybe I will skip it this time.
