Day 15
Friday June 26, 2015
We got up and started our day with some video poker action. As usual we chose the 3/5 plays again. This time around things were pretty good for me. I was popping quads often including aces. Dee was quad deprived having run almost 3k through the machine before her first quad. Oddly she was hovering close to even for a long time because of an abnormally high number of full houses. My luck didn't end with quads when I held 3 to a royal and scored the 4000 coin hit on line 5.

For late breakfast/early lunch we went over to the Cal Cafe. There was a long line but I'm emerald and a VIP so went into that line where the hostess decided to kind of ignore us. I got pissed and left before I blew my top on her. Trust me, it wouldn't have been a good scene. Instead we went to the Snack Bar. I got some saimen and Dee got a ham and cheese croissant. Nothing fancy and all good.

We came back to MSS and played more video poker. Nothing major happened except for Dee hitting aces and a bunch of other quads only to cash out even. Between us we lost about $50.

We went up to the room for a break and then headed out. First stop was to get our laundry. The next stop was to get a quick lunch at Jack in the Box consisting of 2 free tacos for answering a survey and a chicken sandwich. This was just to hold us over until dinner.

On the way back downtown I stopped to get the car washed. Normally I would never do this with a rental car but the drive through Christmas Tree Pass the other day was messy and the Tahoe was totally filthy. Every time we got anywhere near it we got filthy too. It was a worthwhile $7.

From here we went over to the D where I had a 4 night offer with $75 free play, $50 food $50 match play and 2 free show tickets to Defending the Caveman. We don't need this room but Dee's cousins arrive tomorrow and they'll be staying in it.

We checked in quickly and went up to the room to check it out. I haven't stayed here since it was Fitzgerald's and that was way back in 1997! We were given room 1508 This is a room with 2 queens, a nightstand, a dresser/work desk, and 32” flat screen TV. It has a view of of the Four Queens and the top of the Fremont Street Experience. The bathroom is small with basic bathroom needs.

We threw some stuff in the room and headed back over to Main Street Station for more video poker action. This session was interesting. Dee was getting her ass handed to her and dropped $100 before I could look over. She was on her last hand and got dealt 2 pair and drew 2 full houses. The next hand she was dealt trip aces and popped a quad shooting her meter up to $140! She then bled all of the way down to her last hand and had to switch to triple play and then got the meter back up again, only to lose it all in the end. It was pretty exciting though. My session was uneventful and I cashed out down just a few bucks.

We met up with Yahtzee Mike and Margaret who were in town and hung out for a while in the casino and then went to dinner at the buffet. The plan was to go to the Triple 7 but the place was packed so we opted for the buffet. We got there just before the crowds arrived. We had a good meal before heading out. Mike & Margaret got tickets to see Blue Man Group so we all headed out to the Monte Carlo.

I had seen Blue Man Group years ago when I used to play at the old Mandalay Resort Group properties but that was a while ago. Dee had never seen them and was looking forward to it. It was standard Blue Man Group with lots of strange but neat things going on. We all enjoyed the show.

When the show was over we came back down to Main Street Station. Me and Dee went back to VP and Mike & Margaret hung out with us. I was hitting a good amount of quads again and it seemed every time I hit on, Dee hit one. This made it easy for the attendants when it came to giving out scratch cards. During the conversation Dee held her cards and looked over to Mike and I looked over to her only to see the other 2 cards pop up on line 3 for our second royal of the day. She was pretty excited to have finally hit one at the quarter level. We continued to pound away with nothing else major happening. I cashed out with a $100 and Dee lost about $125, excluding the royal winnings.

It was starting to get late so we wrapped up in the casino with a stop at the cage to cash in some tickets and redeem our 26 scratch cards that were all for $2 for an additional $52.
