Managed to sleep until 6:30 am today. I feel a little more rested. My mission today is to use the free play that expires today. Happily I get more free play starting tomorrow.
I left the room around 8:30 am and headed down to Binion’s. Fremont was lovely and calm at that time of day. I need a new Binion’s card and I wanted to check how much I had left in food comps. $57. Amazing. Food comps are easy to come by here. I went to the cafe for breakfast. I tell you, that cafe is the most efficient place I have ever seen. It runs like a well oiled machine. They handed me a coffee as soon as my butt hit the chair. Took my order immediately. ( I was good today and ordered an omelette. Managed to restrain myself from ordering French toast. Ha.). My food arrived in approximately ten minutes. I ate it and was out the door in less than a half hour. And they do that with hundreds of people all day long. I find it amusing that I recognize some of the staff now. I truly appreciate the free food.
I decided to play a hundred dollars in a Game King to keep the comps coming. I went over to a quiet corner by the Deli. Honestly it was the quietest casino experience I have ever had. There was some classic rock playing in the distance but it wasn’t loud. The Deli wasn’t open until noon. I was literally the only person in that corner. I could have laid my head down on the slot and fallen asleep, it was that quiet.
I ended up playing Deuces for three hours on that same hundred! That never happens. The machine was being so cooperative I thought it was going to give me a jackpot for sure but it didn’t. I left at 1 pm and as I was walking out I thought that Boyd needs to take a lesson from Binion’s; the comped food in that efficient cafe, the cooperative machines etc. Binion’s was packed. The table games were full, the slots were busy and that coffee shop was full as usual. Main Street could be that busy again if they made some changes.
My next stop was to use my $30 in free play at the D. I put that plus $100 in one of those firecracker slots and played for a long time. When I was done I stopped into the D’s gift shop and discovered I had $32 in comps there so I bought a bunch of room snacks.
I walked down Fremont to my next destination, Golden Gate. In front of the Golden Nugget I stopped and used an APP that Scott Roeben mentioned called Soundprint. I am including the reading of how loud it was at 2:45 pm. 90. Crazy.
At Golden Gate I sat at the same kind of firecracker machine and loaded my $20 free play and some of my own money. I was doing well for awhile but then the machine took it all away.
I came back to the Plaza at 4 pm. I needed to stretch out and rest my back for a bit. At 6 pm I went downstairs and played at the Plaza for two hours. Three guesses what I played? Wicked Wheel! I got another one of those bizarre line hits like I did at NYNY and won $540!!! Shocking. At 8 pm I walked over to the end of Fremont to test the volume again. This time the reading was 99.
I was too tired to go anywhere for dinner so I just grabbed another Big Mac and retired to my room. Sad I know. Today was a great day. I have been having chats with the nicest people. I love it.
