Day 3: Wed. 10/2/24 Doing a Monorail Crawl
Try of NYNY. It took a bit longer than regular as a result of I wished to make use of my MGM Rewards {Dollars} as a result of I bought $100 Reward {Dollars} on Wager MGM after they by accident made that award half worth! Then we determined to eat at Shake Shack as a result of it was shut by, and M had a supply for a free burger by way of T-Cellular. It was a ache within the ass to redeem as a result of the app struggled with connection, however we finally received it to work. We have been too distracted to take photos of the meals even. It was effective and handy, which was principally what we have been capturing for.
The stroll to MGM.
Now we checked-into our favourite resort, MGM Grand. We have been slightly early, however figured that we might attempt to check-in now. Nicely, that may have been a mistake. My silly reminiscence is beginning to fail me at this level, however the first person who helped us was good and normally may discover us what we would like up to now. Sadly, he even was struggling. He discovered us a room on the sixteenth flooring, which sounded okay, however we usually have averted that flooring as a result of that USED to be a Keep Nicely flooring although the elevators say Keep Nicely is now on 14 and 15. We requested him to make certain it wasn’t a Keep Nicely. On his finish, he did not see it saying it was. We went to the room and opened the door. Yep, it is a rattling Keep Nicely with the rock laborious mattress that we won’t stand, and a lot perfume within the room, M’s allergy symptoms most likely would go nuts. It was a disgrace although, it appeared effective in any other case.
So we went again right down to the precedence check-in, and naturally he was busy with one other buyer. So we stupidly handled probably the most incompetent member of the precedence check-in group. We’ve had points together with her earlier than. For instance, she will’t perceive that we choose a 2xx room ending in odd. At the moment, she could not discover us any room above the tenth flooring. She claimed that every agent solely will get to see sure rooms to assign. Both it is a shitty system, or she is stuffed with shit. After not likely wanting that room, she steered we waited in the principle line to see if they may assist us higher. So we stupidly did. We waited most likely quarter-hour within the line and get one other room assigned, 19-237. This one had an adjoining door. Fuck.
We went again down once more. Now we waited in the important thing line as a result of fuck ready in the principle line once more. This time the particular person discovered us a room on the twenty first flooring. We have been slightly involved as a result of generally the best flooring battle to maintain up with air con, however at this level, we have been consuming quite a lot of pool time up, and we would have liked to take extra possibilities. Room 21-223 appeared satisfactory, thank God.
High-quality, however not flawless. Lol
If I might have learn the discussion board earlier that day, I might have identified that @smerrian, @ohcraps, and @VegasDaytripper have been all enjoying craps collectively at MGM. Sigh. I might have mentioned howdy briefly if I knew.
Lastly, over an hour later, we have been again at our comfortable place.
After the pool, we determined to choose up a monorail cross and take a look at stuff alongside that.
Pic of the Sphere and Fontainebleau
We determined to make the hike from the Horseshoe station to Ellis Island for dinner. Additionally stopped in an affordable memento retailer for a magnet and a shot glass for M’s good friend.
Grandstand alongside Koval.
I received a “Chilly Hearted Ladies.” Respectable Chilly IPA and has extra a lager-like character. (5%; 4 sips)
M was the one to get a quad right here this time, and dealt too!
The same old BBQ.
Now we walked again to the monorail and took the entire path to Sahara. On the best way there, we undoubtedly observed that the monorail was growing older, and there have been sure components that have been fairly a tough trip, particularly after the Harrah’s station. We most likely will not be dashing to make use of this once more, however it actually was handy from MGM.
View from the walkway from the Sahara station. Considered one of today, we’ll get again to you STRAT.
After all, I darted off for a beer. I made a decision to take a look at Chickie’s & Pete’s. I noticed video poker machines.
I requested in the event that they comped, and so they mentioned sure! I additionally noticed my favourite Vegas Hazy IPA there, Lovelady Brewing’s Love Juice, so I needed to go together with that.
However this positive did not appear to be Love Juice.
It positive did not style prefer it both. It was off sufficient that I made a decision to ask for an additional beer as a substitute. Ready Baker Atomic Duck. This was nearer to what I anticipate, however it was nonetheless not the best faucet.
This can assist with the fake Airport Deuces paytable, 96.34%. The complete home was solely 3 for 1.
Moved to six/5 Bonus. That was a greater concept.
Fast quad full home after all. Lol
And now it is my flip to not be a Jack-off!
Now we went to Westgate for a bit.
Now this place was busy as there was a Latin band enjoying and the lounge close to the entrance of the on line casino was full of individuals listening. I’m undoubtedly not a fan of reside music; fortuitously, they have been on break. So we principally simply walked all the best way again to the Superbook and went again out. Did not even play there.
I needed to take a pic of the Elvis statue after all.
This little detour now put us on one of many marketed vehicles. M was fairly comfortable about this as a result of we noticed this “kitty automobile” from the MGM pool a number of occasions final journey. It is decked out on the within too.
M actually would not like taking the flu vaccine although. She appears to react poorly to it most years.
Driving by the sphere
We stopped on the Harrah’s/Linq station.
I hoped to search out the Sizzling Roll Bartop at Harrah’s and dragged round M rapidly. She was irritated I used to be on this search with out actually telling her what I used to be doing. I discovered the ONE unit at The Lounge at Harrah’s. However somebody was sitting on it. Ugh.
Then moved over to Linq en path to assembly @vegas erica at O’Shea’s.
Stopped into Disco Present actual quick.
It was like a mini bar lounge. It was a bit cramped by way of house with loudish music, not our factor.
Then it was off to O’Shea’s to satisfy @vegas erica and have a frozen Bailey’s. Our journeys overlapped barely three years in the past, however her flight in received delayed. So it was nice to lastly meet you in any case these years! Had a good time chatting with you and attending to know you! I can let you know actually love Vegas and glad you have been in a position to have a Frozen Bailey’s with us!
Solely proof of being at O’Shea’s. We even forgot to take a pic of the Frozen Bailey’s. We received too distracted chatting. Lol
After @vegas erica went again to Cosmo to wrap up her day, we went to Flamingo to play some. Sadly, dinner did not persist with M, so she went to go get some In-N-Out.
Pics on the best way
I received a Deschutes Recent Squeezed IPA at Bugsy’s (6.4%; 4 sips). Not very juicy just like the identify steered, however a good IPA. And it was over eight years since I final had the beer, at Hollywood On line casino Kansas Speedway. Haha
This can assist.
This pic wasn’t too notable at first look, however this was my first multiplied hand of the session.
Ugh, by the tier counter show, it was my 78th hand. Going 77 palms in a row and not using a multiplier in STP is (14/15)^77 = 0.493% = 1 in 202.85. Shit.
Now M was executed together with her meal, and we headed off to the Flamingo VP punishment space. Targets have been acquired on the left.
Quad tens and cash for M!
Wild royal from only a Deuce for me. Deuces STP is one of the best penny recreation there after all at 97.00%.
Hello Cromwell!
Bye Cromwell!
I undoubtedly miss the complete pay VP that they’d there.
Now we walked over to Bellagio as a result of the monorail closed at midnight on a Wednesday, and it is 1 am already.
We took the Aria monorail again and walked again to MGM.
Performed slightly on the On line casino Bar to get a beer from Percy, however this was the one factor noteworthy. The uncommon 11X+ multiplier.
Misplaced $40 in that session.
