    Just got back 4 days ago and finished off my newest trip report.

    We had 3 guest stars this trip, its my 1st Vegas trip with my Dad and some of my siblings.

    I stayed at the Cosmo for the 1st time ever and was incredibly impressed. Their slot assortment was great. Their staff was crazy friendly and the room/views were sick!

    We did manage to squeeze in a trip to Fremont as well as Sam's Town. What a debacle that shithole was.

    Trip report and pics are on my blog. I couldn't possibly dump 150+ pictures here. Any questions, comments or feedback Please Post away!

    Great TR. Your TRs are always a great read. All that play for such a small loss is absolutely a win! At least as far as us degenerate gambles are concerned.

    Thanks for your report. I really enjoy all the detail and pictures you include. I know I don't have the patience to do it myself.

    Fun trip report to read and photos were great. Sorry the Goonies didn't treat you better but it seems like most games were generous. :)

    Really enjoyed reading your trip report this morning. Your commentary and pictures were excellent. Leaving Vegas $400 down is a dream of mine which will probably never come true. I only stay at Cosmo now and agree with everything you said about it. On your next stay try some of the restaurants there especially Milos which is my favorite. The thing I learned from your report is that I would probably fit in better at Sam’s Town with the old folks than I do at Cosmo. Never been there and probably won’t take the time to go but understand your feeling of being stared at by the old folks for invading their turf. I have the same feeling at Cosmo sometimes but in the opposite way, especially on weekends.

    Good TR Grid. Thanks!

    Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience at Sam’s Town. I’ve stayed there once and been there a few times. I️ have nothing but good things to say

    Great report! I still am going to play the shit out of Lampoons and Goonies despite the poor payout. Lol Maybe I’ll hit the unicorn!

    Thanks for reading!

    Spoken like a true gambler! If I go to Vegas with $3K, and come home with just $500, as far as I'm concerned I won $500!

    I said the same thing for years before making the plunge. I'm glad I did!

    Nailed it! Pretty much just human FedEx. Every time I fly them I say never again. Then the next trip, when United wants $450 and Spirit wants $175, I book Spirit once more.

    It actually helps me slow down the pace of a normal casino outing and it forces me to be daring and explore, or just look around my environment. So I like doing these, if for nothing more then to create a Vegas time capsule of games and casinos that are gone.

    Looking back at my 1st trip report, which pretty much sucked, we hit all of these places that are now dead.

    Bill's Gambling Hall, Imperial Palace, Las Vegas Hilton, Riviera, Sahara, Fitzgeralds, Vegas Club

    Thanks for reading it Di, one of these days we will have to coordinate our Vegas efforts. You catch me on video for the 1st time ever for your Youtube Channel and I'll slap you in print with my shenanigans on my site. Of all the games I played, I wish I could have sat on Goonies longer. Those are the breaks, I wont complain. Well, not too much anyway.

    Milos looked good. I hear good thinks about the Wicked Spoon as well. But I'm very lowbrow. As if you couldn't tell from all the mentions I had about eating at McD's or White Castle. I'm a strange bird, I'll clip coupons at home to save a buck on toilet paper, and i wont reach into my pocket for more than $5 to each lunch in Vegas. But I'll yank a handle on a slot and piss away $10 or $20 at a time without blinking.

    I'll vouch for you at Cosmo if you do the same for me at Sam's. That's teamwork!

    I'm going to have to assume it was the way I looked. No one else in my group got the cold shoulder or pulled a security shadow. Maybe I look more menacing then I feel. Who knows. If it was just 1 person, I wouldn't have even thought to say something. But when it became 4 or 5 I started to get paranoid!

    Bear Down indeed!

    I know penny games are a sucker bet. And I know that new themed penny games are even a bigger sucker bet. I guess they should sign us both up for suckers of the year since I'll go back for more suckering on those two!

    Thanks Wank!
