Today was my last full day in Vegas. Always a bittersweet day, I am sad to leave but I want to be home. Does that make sense?
It was pleasant spending this last week downtown so I didn’t have to observe the F1 mess. I must congratulate the Plaza on their success with both the Carousel bar and the PinkBox doughnut place. I have been here a week and both places seem to be busy all the time. I am also happy that the Carousel bar didn’t destroy the look of the Plaza’s gorgeous porte cochere, it adds to it. It looks like it has always been there.
I spent the morning writing my trip report so I got a slow start as usual. What to do on my last day? I have comped food in three places but I can’t leave without having a meal at Binion’s. I wanted to try Whiskey Licker Up but it looked packed so I just went to the coffee shop as usual. I enjoyed the Gridiron breakfast. ( whatever a gridiron is). It was excellent as always.I went to to my quiet corner to play a bit. My VP machine ate my hundred quickly today. I wandered through the rest of Binion’s and Four Queens looking for something I wanted to play. Everywhere was so busy and soooo noisy that I gave up and came “ home”. The Four Queens elevator is still broken….grrr. No Magnolia’s visits for me this trip.
I went back to my favourite VP machine at the Plaza and had luck there again. I might have stayed longer but between the screaming dudes at the craps game, the annoying girl’s voice screaming “Press the BUTTON!” and music from the Heidi and Hannah slot, I had had it. Even though I was wearing earplugs it was just too much. I am over the noise.
I went to the desk to tell them I was leaving in the morning and to check my bill.
Came upstairs at 7 pm and started packing up.
I plan to leave the hotel by 9 am.
So another Vegas vacation is in the books.
This was a great one!
I did some new things, some familiar ones, met tons people, and had a bit of luck here and there. I really enjoy watching my son and his girlfriend have fun here. So hopefully I will be back again next spring. Fingers crossed.

I wish I could find VP like this in Windsor!
