  Twenty Seven Bucks on the Parakeet to Win
  16 August 2024
  I am certifiably unfit for Vegas duty for thinking that I can do an entire week in Vegas, including airfare, for $86 USD a day.A number of you Savvies have pointed out that the gambling budget is ridiculously low. It's $191 over seven days. That comes out to whopping $27.

  The Cheap Magnificent Bastard trip is really coming together! Thanks to generous supporters, my bankroll has a nice reserve!

  As the Cheap Magnificent Bastard trip approaches, I'm comforted by the support shown to me by my savvy readers. I've got a nice bankroll emergency fund if my $191 budget doesn't carry me through the week. And good things continue to happen to me!
  

 

Could very well be!

 

On my way!

  Sometimes you just get tired of losing your butt in Vegas. You can fix that by either becoming lucky, or being a Cheap Magnificent Bastard. I'm rediscovering my frugal roots from almost 30 years ago when the Quad Queen and I would take advantage of every possible nickel and dime promotion we could find, and...

  Every muscle in my body aches. Eyes half open. Head hurts. It's morning one in Las Vegas. How did I get here? Day 1 Sept 4, 2024I landed in Las Vegas in the early afternoon, and my surprise limo was waiting for me. Sort of.

  So much has happened already by the end of day 2, and I've only been in town 32 hours!
  

 

Day 3 Thursday Sept 6, 2024 - part oneThe Plaza room is really quite comfortable except for one thing - the Pratt and Whitney J35 wall-mounted turbo fan air conditioner, developing 152 dB at 12,000 RPM.It's so hot out here during the day that the unit can only keep up by running at full bore for intervals of 5 minutes at a time or so, with a 1 minute rest break.That situation calls for foam... https://buff.ly/3AVrT7C

Know When to Hold Em
Before long, the shining beacon of my destination loomed through the greasy forehead spots on the bus window.

Day 3 Thursday Sept 6, 2024 - part twoFor the first time in the trip, I felt low. It's so incredibly difficult to win in Vegas, and even though I was still up, and had had some of the luck I needed, I knew that without the LVA book, and the various bits of free

  Day 4 Saturday Sept 7, 2024 - part 1Well, I had a proper Friday night in Vegas with Bobby G, and went to bed about 3 hours later than I have been all trip. And, as a result, I slept in a bit.

  The Single Lonely Diner Boofay Table

  Day 4 Saturday Sept 7, 2024 - part 2Incredibly, they actually have a Single Lonely Diner table at the Dirty Castle Boofay. My meal was very good. I had a freshly made omelette and some sausages, two rounds of amazing orange chicken which was clearly made with actual orange juice in the sauce, some smoked...
  

 

Got together with @YOleven today! He treated me to lunch and also gave me a nice gift. What a great guy!

We went to Cheena Poblano - I've never been. Was excellent!!!!

 

I wasn't impressed with it at the time, but now that I think about it, for the strip, it's pretty good. Might call for some more play.

It was in the area between the escalators and Dick's. I'll revisit and let you know.
