Day 13 Thursday December 25, 2003
Merry Christmas

Dining:
Met up with Vegas Sue, Kiddo, and Dusty for Christmas lunch at Fuego here at the Fiesta. This is their steak house. I chose the rib eye medium rare. The meal was very good and was way too much food. One thing I like about Fuego is everything is included with your meal like vegetables, potato, and salad unlike at places where everything is separate. After the meal since today was my birthday the waiter brought out a small chocolate cake for me with a candle. The cake was really good and really rich and filled me to the top.

Gaming:
After lunch I met up with the Bostons. These guys are big fans of VP and we played some FPDW over by the sports book. I ended up dropping another $100 over here in about an hour as the bleeding continues. We all moved away from these machines because it was too hot back there. We were able to get some seats over on the slant tops. I was doing ok for a while but then the machine put the screws to me and my $100 was gone yet again. I’m really getting sick of this every time I play. It’s been over a week since I’ve even had a winning session and the bankroll is really dwindling at this point. Rich and Dawn left and I decided it would be a good time to take a break from losing so I came up to the room for a while.

After a break it was back to the deuces wild machines. I think I might have hit a record for fastest loss of $100. I just can’t believe how the machines are treating me this trip.

After another break I tried out some craps. This wasn’t too bad to start with and I got ahead a decent amount. Unfortunately the table went to shit after this and I lost all I was up and most of what I started with. Yes, the nightmare continues and I’ve had yet another losing day in the casinos.

Total win/loss for the day -$450
Total comps for the day $150
