    This ain’t no damn ho’ house.
    Yes for sure...with 1.2M points in the slot tourney you’ll probably WIN IT!
    I hope you used double tickets so you can get double the prize!
    Also, if you play $5 slots;
    Try the $5 double top dollar that’s right inside HL slots )it’ll be on your left as you walk in from Clique)
    It’s a 2-coin max bet; it usually pays out for us except this last trip...

    Then we went to PH. I wanted to try the tier matching. It worked but the guy was REALLY specific that I couldn’t do it twice. Some things of note:

    1) You can’t do it twice
    2) 100 buck dinner will be activated in 72 hours. Fine. We weren’t planning on anything this trip.
    3) two show tickets wouldn’t be activated most likely for a few hours either.
    4) Just flash my card - in the lounges I might need to explain why I’m not in the system yet. I’m not planning on using the lounges.
    5) he REALLY went over the parking and valet. I use Lyft while I’m here so I might have tuned him out a little.
    6) You can’t do it twice.

    Big thing for Cosmo people - my Cosmo gold was NOT accepted. My plat mlife was.

    I cycled a hundred on a machine for a bit and then we left. Maybe I’ll try CET properties. Maybe not. But hello diamond card!!

    And some random pictures as we walked to Walgreens and PH and got snacks and epsom salt. Yes. Epsom salt. I’m a wuss in a bath and whine and complain that it dries out my skin. So we get salts. Every dang time.

    That guy kept trying to cross. Yeah. It went about as well as you’d think.

    Oh Aria. You were so good to us, but mlife, it’s time we part.

    How does this long exposure thing work? Hm... it appears to work by telling me I need a tripod.

    Letting phone recharge writing this. Hydrate. Down for more gambling. Then Milos. Oh. Dang. Gotta change my pants for that.

    THANK YOU for the tip. I might try it tomorrow or after Milos. If I’m on a bad run I go to $3-5 pennies and just have fun getting bonus games.

    I did not double ticket it, but the actual act of placing is a first for me after 15+ years of coming to Vegas... and I’m dang grateful for it.

    Identity Platinum,
    Thanks for ashtray info! hehe.
    3 more weeks until I get to Wicked Spoon. Boo!!
    Those slot machines look way more fun than the stupid tourney I went for. If I had those maybe i'd have liked it more. Good luck!
    You will get your $600 back, I can feel it in my bones! hahaha
    They better match my Cosmo Gold card.. or not. I hate those guys, I won't stay at a Caesars hotel again anyway haha :D

    I think maybe get something that shows the date. Maybe just going to the desk asking if they have anything that can prove your expiration date.

    That being said, others say it works - if denied try try again. Plenty of CET around here..

    I’m excited to see what fish they have!! I haven’t tried their lobster pasta... mmmm... lobster. There will be food porn of Milos!

    I find out when they close the tournament at 9, I believe. I’ll be at Milos then, unless we eat fast, but will stop by the desk afterwards.

    I agree, gross!!
    This is one of the reasons why I always bring a pack of Clorox wipes with me (housekeeping doesn't disinfect, and apparently doesn't wipe down much). 2nd thing I do when getting into a room is wipe down the switches, door handles, remote, and toilet seat; 1st thing I do is check for bedbugs

    Yeah. Light switch. Ewwwww.

    Plus side - WON THE SLOT TOURNY!! Got my 500. Lost it promptly in the HL, but came out with 190 converted.

    Tried a few more $5s but they were just NOT friendly.

    So gave up. Went and played some pennies at 3 bucks. Then $5 max on 2c top dollar, got back some losses.

    Played Brittney. Broke even.

    Sat down at Quickhits Blue and chilled for a couple of hours. I was down around 700 at this point, but got some good play other than my failed attempts on $5 slots. Hovered around my cash in when I got a locking wilds and voila, not huge, but added 193 to the win column.

    Ending with 500 down for the day. Not bad considering the play I got out of it.

    A few wins! Mostly teeny. I always get more from line hits than bonus games on a machine.

    Milos report coming next. I know, doing it backwards.

    Milos.

    We weren’t quite dressed because I mostly brought down and dirty clothes as that’s what I’m here for. Working in the hot aisle of a data center. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about - lots of computers, lots of heat and physical labor.

    We were seated right next to the fish.

    Ugh. Hit post too soon.

    So we were seated next to the fishies. That was nice, the drink taker/filler/dude who is slightly more than a busboy was awesome. Our server sort of sucked. Talked over me and never really came to check on us until the check was in front of us - then he was buddy buddy.

    But the food was excellent.

    We got the octopus and the crab cake for appetizers.

    E11FF2CE-0240-4FDC-9BC8-E94975CEC355.jpeg

    That’s hummus-like stuff on the octopus and super thin onions. Great - so tasty. The tentacles were crunchy and the rest had a surprisingly bright flavor.

    2B8B4885-8AA0-4D93-9AAD-0907E4E27A82.jpeg

    Crab cake was delicious, but so were the beans. Silly little tasty things. Definitely not overlooked. Big chunks of crab. Yum. The mayo sauce on the side was darn tasty too.


    Then we went with the Dorad Royal grilled. We were looking for a oilier white fish. I missed the intial photo op, but here is my husband’s plate.

    And here is mine after I noshed on all the good bits from the head.

    8539865B-7E94-46C5-80B3-13CC90488C50.jpeg

    We also had grilled veggies and beets.

    FB651404-EBF1-4D74-B34C-B97D49545667.jpeg

    Veggies were good, nothing spectacular.

    EFE3E044-F39C-437B-9D8E-BF46A4F5670E.jpeg

    Beets were amazing.

    We had plans to go to Roku Sweets, but it just didn’t happen.

    Right around $300 with one glass of wine, sparkling bottled water and a 20% tip.

    YUP. You end up throwing a jacket in the cold aisle and wearing a tank when you cable in the back. And sweating through everything. Only a few hours tomorrow, but still... dozens of things to do and rack and cable and recable. Ok, not that much, but at the end of it when I’m swearing cuz the “easy” rails won’t release - it’s gonna feel like dozens.
