Well if you weren’t bored before you will be now. I am moving downtown and my days tend to get quieter down here.
On Sunday night I went to the Mirage desk and asked for a late check out to give me plenty of time to get packed up. I also got copies of my zero balance bill. Just the way I like it. I got my room all packed and mentally said goodbye to Mirage.
I had a pleasant Uber ride down to the Plaza using only surface streets, yay! I went to line up to register and a cute little lady, who turned out to be Esme, a casino host, showed up beside me and took me to the VIP line which I much appreciated. My Luxe room wasn’t clean yet so I left my bag and went to Hash House a Go Go to get a meal. Their plates are so enormous it is breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one! I ordered my favourite, chicken and waffles, and boxed up half of it to bring to the room. Then I thought I would ask again if a room was ready and it was. I love these rooms! Cool, spacious and comfy.
I laid down on the bed for an hour and didn’t feel like getting up but a FaceBook group called Downtown Vegas Report was having a meet in the Chicago Brewing Company at Four Queens and I wanted to go. I hoofed down there only to discover their elevator wasn’t functioning. I messaged them on Facebook but there was no response. Not knowing what to do I just left and staggered back to the Plaza and my room. I did stop into the ABC and bought some shampoo and a High Noon. Still hate it….lol.
I was feeling exhausted so I laid down and conked out for an hour. That gave me a second wind. I went down to the Plaza casino around six thirty and wandered around looking for any signs of Matt Bridger and the Begas Vaby couple who were supposed to be doing a joint group pull at 7 pm. I kept circling the casino. I wandered out to the no smoking area twice. I think the security guards thought I was nuts.
I couldn’t see anyone so I was wondering if it got called off or something. I tried playing a few machines with no luck. Ironically enough, two of the slots I played were the ones the group pull used. Around 7:30 I heard hollering and thought “Ah! There they are” Even though I wasn’t officially part of the pull I wanted to watch. I parked myself on a chair where I couldn’t see what was happening but I could see the people running the pull. That is when I didn’t have someone’s butt in my face.
It was fun to watch. I met a nice lady named Melanie who recognized me from somewhere. At one point there was a guy with a beard in front of me and I poked him and asked if he was “ Dewder” . He laughed and said “No but I know him and my beard is nicer than his. I am Vice.” I recalled that he was Gambling Granny husband and as it turns out she was right behind me. They were part of the pull. It was nice to meet and talk with them and she gave me a ticket to Grannyfest on Friday at El Cortez. I had booked tickets to go see Grand Funk Railroad that night but maybe I could switch the tickets to another night. I will see what I can do.
I would have loved to say hello to everyone but they were too busy so when the pull was over I just went to play video poker. I was doing MUCH better at VP than I had been at the slots. I got the deuces twice! Yippee! After the second time I decided to pack it in and go to bed. I have a lunch date tomorrow with board member, Ralphie and his wife.
My room…
The group pull.
I left this useless thing behind at Mirage.
