Day 10 of my Fall 2024 Vegas trip October 16

 



Wednesday 

I woke up at 3 am today.  I thought I could smell a skunk.  I was wondering how I could smell skunk when I am 32 stories in the air.  It finally dawned on me, pot smells like skunk nowadays.  I think that is what I was smelling.  I was awake until 6 am but then I fell asleep again and slept until 9.  

Even though I had absolutely no desire to Uber or Lyft anywhere, I knew that Caesars was doing a five times your tier points thing from the 14th to the 18th.   I wanted to participate on at least one day.  I was trying to decide which Caesars property to go to.  I decided on Harrah ‘s because I am most familiar with that casino.   I don’t get lost.  I know where the food is.  I know where all the washrooms are.  Another good thing is that when you are travelling between NY NY and Harrah’s you don’t have to tell anybody NO FREEWAYS!

I have come to the conclusion that I don’t like dark casinos.  I hate black ceilings.  I find them depressing.  I gravitate toward lighter, brighter rooms.  Harrah‘s is bright.  

I arrived around 12:30.  I hit the food court for a yogurt parfait.  Then I went to find a machine that had been good to me on another trip.   Three guesses what I was playing? Mo Mummy yet again.   I have to get my fill of this machine here in Vegas because I can’t play it at Caesars Windsor because it is a five cent machine there and the minimum bet is $3.75.  Too pricey.

Anyhow this machine kept me alive from 1 pm to 5 pm on my daily allotment of funds.  I put 1200 tier points on my card so that will be multiplied in 14 days.  Good stuff.  

Apparently the drink servers don’t start until 2 pm.  I was parched by the time they appeared.

I noticed a guy going from machine to machine checking for leftover money.  He looked like a normal fellow.  I found that odd. 

On my way out I decided to have a Bobby Flay’s Crunchburger and a shake for dinner.  $24 but it was yummy.  Caught another Lyft back to NYNY  I didn’t realize the Sphere would be visible at the end of the ride share area.   I am in for the night again.  This is the least amount of shows I have ever done in a trip.   Almost no night activities at all.
