Day 18
Monday June 29, 2015
Today started with the cousins meeting us at the Fremont Buffet. I used my silver card to get 2 of us in and then just used points to pay for the other 2 buffets. Dee really likes this buffet and I can take it or leave it. It's mediocre at best.

We were off to the D. We went to the fitness center here for a while and then went to the pool with the cousins. We stayed until we were lightly crisped and then went to get cleaned up.

We hit the casino to get some action in. Since we don't play a lot here to get these offers we chose single line video poker for halves. I also turned in a coupon from the ACG for $5 free play for every 500 points. Things were awful here. Few quads and like the other day at the Four queens it wasn't uncommon for me to go 15 hand without a payoff. We dropped $800 and didn't even get much action. We switched machines and played NSUD upstairs. We had to play really slow because Dee wasn't that familiar with the game and I haven't played it much in the last few years. Plus going from jacks to deuces can be tricky. I started off strong but then went into the deuces drought. Dee was doing ok but the the same happened to her. We dropped another $150 for a terrible loss of $950 on only 10k in action. I stopped by the booth to collect my free play from the coupon promotion. Between that and my regular $75 free play I had a total of $175.

We stopped by the host office to see if we could get 2 additional tickets to see Defending the Caveman to go along with the 2 from my mailer. They were given without question and we went to the box office to grab the tickets.

We met up with the cousins for dinner at the D Grill. None of us have ever been here before but we all thought the food was good. I had a BBQ pork sandwich with fries and Dee had angel hair pomodoro. She said it was good and she'd get it again. My sandwich and fries were good as well. My only issue is the D must think they are on the strip because their menu is pricey for downtown. We used the $50 in food credits that came with the mail offer and paid the additional $3 out of pocket.

After dinner we ran that $175 free play through a quarter NSUD machine and turned it into $150. This dropped our losses for the day down to $800. Still effing awful.

It was a little early for the show so we wandered around upstairs and played $10 through some penny games for some fun. No major hits and very little play out of it.

It was time for the show so we lined up like sheep to get in. We got seated in one of the booths in the back of the room. There really aren't any bad seats in this small showroom. The show was amusing and Kevin Burke does a good job in his routine. With that said, had I paid full price like some people did for this show, I would have felt ripped off.

The cousins left and went up to their room and we headed out with a quick stop in the casino to run a few match plays. I had $25 match plays from my mailer. First I played black and 8 black came up and the next spin I played odd and red 23 came up. Between the 2 match plays I won $100.

We left the cousins and headed back over to Main Street Station to get some action in over here. We hit the usual 3/5 plays and had piss poor luck this time finishing up the session down with 11 scratch cards worth $23. We only got 6k in action and dropped yet another $500. Dee even hit aces and threes and still dropped $200.

We came back to the room and pretty much hit the bed because it was after midnight and we have to get up tomorrow and get ready to move.
