Nice hit on the dollar machine! IIRC, aren't those $1 machines are immediately opposite the Ainsworth 1¢ bank that includes Twice the Gems?
Sooooo happy you are headed home with a big, fat check-mark in the plus column!!!!! Hurray and congrats!!!! And I expect to see you in 2 weeks.
Whew, it’s been a day. Flight back to PHX was about an hour late, got in around 11pm. Back home now and realizing I’ve got quite a few gaps to fill in this TR, along with a recap/summary but, first....sleep. As much as I love the Cosmo beds, there’s nothing like being in my own bed. Stay tuned!
Awesome report as usual! That $1000 hit at the end was perfect, that same machine was good to me last trip to Cosmo too, but not as good. Actually all of them in that bank have been pretty good for me, at least give a lot of play even if I don't win on them. Agree the cleo bonus should have been more, but I have had more spins and won less myself on it. Looking forward to the rest of the details too.
Well. It finally happened. I failed to properly finish a TR. But guess who’s back to put this one to bed? Might take a bit but looking forward to reliving this one!
Tring is correct (as usual) $5 denom min for the standard single-line VP. Fun-fact, I believe the middle machine of the bunch is set to be $25 minimum bet..so no 1-coin $5 denom bets. The others seem normal, though. And yep, Keno is $5 denom. Oh, and @YOleven, also believe Tring is spot-on with the D/STP games and paytables. I can confirm that Deuces is one of the options.
Nope, nothing too notable. Probably about four $5 hits and four $3 hits for a total of $32 in Identity Play. Still, I’ll take it. I probably would have been able to spin more, but the points accumulated in HL didn’t count towards the promotion, sadly.
Pretty close, yep. Right when exiting the restrooms by those Ainsworth machines, if you look to your right upon existing, it’s the first four facing you. This was the one on the far right. As we both clearly know, I was unable to make it out there for July 4th but I hope you had the BEST time! Haven’t gotten to check in on your TR yet but saw those amazing VP hits in VP Porn. Can’t wait to catch up with you!
So, not as many gaps as I expected. First up, pic dump from Beauty & Essex the first night: Emerald Gimlet + Woodsman Kale & Apple Salad Thai Shrimp Chicken Meatballs w/Ricotta Boozy Strawberry Milkshake Shots (my Buddy got a huge promotion a few weeks prior to the trip so wanted to make sure it was acknowledged every chance possible) Not pictured: tomato soup dumplings & BBQ fries.
Some random drink/cocktail porn throughout... Raspberry lemon drop – Chandy West Spicy Marg – Chandy North Veuve – HL Some spicy berry concoction that was rocking. HL
Alrighty.... recap time. Not as many photos as past TRs but sure had a hell of a time. Meals: B&E, Zuma, Secret Pizza, Lago, Henry, Eggslut, and B&E again my friend was a huge fan of it. Gambling: finished AHEAD! Not sure of the exact amount because of the cash I used for tips and such, but I’d estimate I finished up around $1,100-1,200. Even with all of the cash expenditures and paying for F&B, still came back with a few hundred bucks in my pocket on top of my bankroll! I’ll call that a success. More than a “free” trip! Some stats... VP = 18,102 coin-in Slots = $7,322.50 coin-in Definitely played under my recent trip average of around $35k-$45k coin-in (60/40ish in favor of VP) – lacked any substantial slot play until the last day this trip as my friend and I were having too much fun at the bar tops together. He had to leave much earlier than me on Saturday, so I slotted around most of that afternoon (when I hit the $1k line hit of Bar-10X-10X). No back-end comps this trip bc of my lower play, but ended up with 2,520 points from resort spending (F&B) anyway. In total racked up almost 9k in Identity points that roll towards renewing my Platinum status (May anniversary). I want to thank everybody for following along! Even if I don’t get the chance to respond to each of you directly, please know that I am so appreciative of the comments and great energy! Until next time... Which might be sooner than you think.
We know!! @Wiscolovesvegas already spilled the beans over in my TR... I will admit I was bummed that you couldn't make it over the Fourth, so I expect a properly detailed Report on y'alls Vegas shenanigans here soon!!!!
