Day 9
Saturday June 20, 2015
Happy Anniversary to US!
We started today with a trip to the pool. This pool gets crowded so we like to hit it early. We didn't stay long because there were 6 unattended, preteen kids making a ton of noise.

The first thing we did this morning was hit the kiosk with Dee's card to see if she reached the green level. She was close so with last night's play I was figuring she would hit it. She cleared the level by 3 points and was now green level.

We used her VIP buffet coupon at the VIP buffet. This is one of the perks I get for being a red card holder here and now Dee gets for being green. Each weekend day you get 2 buffet passes and get to sit in a special area. The buffet here is mediocre at best but for free we'll take it.

After breakfast we hit the machines but before that we stopped at the player's club to get Dee's new card and pick up her cruise tickets for the boat ride later today.

Today we played STP to start with. Things were bad here. I dropped $200 and only hit 1 multiplier the whole time with poor results. Dee got slammed and switched to regular triple play before busting out. She tried another $100 and she did better there hitting some quads. She ended up cashing out down $200 for her session.

I continued to pound away at STP and even made the switch to the ten play version of it. Streaky isn't the word but a few nice hits on multipliers helped out. My best hand was and 8x multiplier and getting dealt trips and drawing a full house for 1400 coins. Other hands of note were getting dealt 3 deuces and hitting quads on 2 lines and getting dealt a full house. I had a real lack of quads and dealt winners but thanks to the multipliers I cashed out with a nice $450 win. After Dee's loss we walked with a $250 win and took a break.

This afternoon I had booked an offer through my host for a free cocktail cruise on board the Celebration. It was actually for Dee's birthday and it was her offer. Over the years and all the trips to Laughlin we've never done a river cruise. It was a good time and took about an hour and a half. It didn't go far though, just to the bridge that crosses into Arizona and then just past Harrah's. There was a narration that gave some history of the river, dams and casinos. I was glad we finally got to do it. Dee didn't care for it too much.

When we got back we took a break in the room and then went to the gym to get in some therapy for Dee.

Next up was a snack at Duet. I got a Cannoli and and iced tea and Dee had a banana muffin with a coffee.

It was time to get back to the machines after the snack. I started off with 10 play STP with no luck at all. I dropped $200 in no time and only hit 2 multipliers that didn't result in much. Dee was up and down hitting a few quads when needed. I switched to 5 play but wasn't doing well. The multipliers were just too far and few and when they did appear the results were poor. I also started getting low paired. If that wasn't bad enough, I only had 1 dealt flush and one dealt full house and 4 quads the whole time we played. Dee won a few bucks to cover my bigger losses. Oddly as bad as it was for me we only ended up down $400 for the session which shocked me.

We wrapped the night up with a meal at Cafe Aquarius. Dee got her favorite Signature Wrap and I got the Sign of the Zodiac Soup without seafood in ti but with extra pork and chicken. It was all good and too much to eat.

We then headed to the room to call it a night.
