    Last night, I booked my flights to Vegas for this Thursday on SWA. paying almost 3x what I typically pay because it's last minute but oh well
    that's the price to pay for being impulsive and a total degen

    Plans?
    Venture into the territory of my old nemesis - Venetian/Palazzo
    Lunch at Bouchon
    Win monies
    don't miss any flights and try my best not to rebook my flight home as I've been doing that too often

    i'll dip my toe in, instead of jumping straight into the deep end
    see how the first hour and/or first thousand dollar goes
    then pivot accordingly

    Limo pick up airport
    But took forever to get to palazzo due to road repaving
    Will have to keep that mind for when I am leaving

    The "sphere view"

    And look at the traffic being forced into a single lane all over the place
    Stay away from the north strip

    I lost $2700 pretty quickly before lunch
    (Lost $1600 at craps. Took 1 spin at roulette for $1100 and lost)

    Lunch was great

    Then I picked up my $750 free bet chips and took it to roulette
    Bet it all on black and hit. So I have $750 real money
    Places numbers, bet it all, and hit a number for $25
    Then I pressed but missed. Bet the left over chips and hit a number for $25
    Pressed and missed. Had $200 left and bet it all
    Hit a number for $25. Then pressed to $75 and hit. Pressed to $100 and hit.
    Regresses to $25 per number and hit

    So I converted my $750 free bet chips into $5855

    I took the chips from the roulette table to craps
    Came up about $4k
    Went back to palazzo side and bought back my $3k marker from the earlier session

    The chips next to the milkshake in the room is my count after buying back the $3k marker so all profit for the day

    Did you play the $300 or whatever they are offering at Unity now for freeplay when signing up?

    I don't know about the freeplay
    I just know I get $300 dining credit. It's usable like CET and MGM rewards points, and not like a CET celebration dinner which is use it or lose it in one shot

    That is it. You can use it for dining or freeplay at a bit lower value

    Up $8635 for the day
    Had a great lunch AND a milkshake afterwards
    Didn't have to run like a maniac through the airport
    Didn't miss any flights although I did rebook my return flight since the delayed flight and the next flight were only about 40 minutes apart


    A successful daytrip

    You need to convert the $300 from the icon upgrade to freeplay at the kiosks near the players club. I think you wind up with $160 in slot play if you want otherwise it is $300 in "resort credits" to use for food.
