Day 25
Monday July 6, 2015
Today is our last full day in town. It's hard to believe it's over already. It seems just like yesterday we were checking into Tuscany.

Today we went downtown to the Four Queens again. Dee had the same offer I did a few days ago and then plan was to get her 2000 points and the bonus $200 in free play.

We started with something to eat at Magnolia's. Dee ordered the All that Jazz (2 eggs, hash browns and toast) and I went with the Canal Street (2 eggs, bacon, French Toast). Everything was good but the service was weak with long waits (it was slow in here) and never being checked on.

When breakfast was done we started off with $1 9/6 jacks or better. I was hovering despite not hitting any quads. Dee was bleeding to death. Finally she hit a quad but she was still getting killed. I started going up and down and was in for 3 bills before I hit a quad and a bunch of full houses. I was almost even at one point. We continued to plug away when I dealt 3 to a royal and filled it in for the $4000 hit!

We switched it up and got of dollars and tried the 50/100 plays and some bonus deuces. I started out well getting some dealt winners and a number of quad deuces. It wasn't enough though and I bled $400. Dee wasn't doing much better and dropped $350. The real killer here was Dee getting dealt not one, but 2 natural quads.

We were close to our goal of 2000 points and I didn't want to lose much more of the royal money so opted to finish it off at quarters. Of course I hit 4 quads in about 10 minutes and had the meter up over $100 while Dee hovered. As always the last few points did us in and we lost 50 between us but we'd reached our goal.

We went tot he slot club to have Dee's bonus free play added. The girls there said they could do the paperwork but we'd have to wait until about 2pm for a supervisor to add it. I was starting to get pissed off and told them that was unacceptable. Then a girl came out of the back ans asked the girls at the booth what was going on. They told her and she made a call (my guess is to the supervisor) and got it added immediately. We also cashed out Dee's points which were worth $150. Like mine this is a few trips worth.

It was back to the machines and more jacks or better. We ran the free play through halves. Things were choppy here but Dee hit a quad to keep things in check. We only got about $350 out of the $400 though.

We left the Four Queens in went into bankroll preservation mode. There would be no more gambling today so if that's what you're interested in reading, the rest of the day will not be for you.

The first stop after leaving the Four Queens was to the bank to make a nice deposit. Next we went to the laundromat to pick up our clothes all nicely folded for the trip home.

From there were took a short stop and went to the Ethel M Cactus Garden. It was too early for dinner so we took a short drive through town and then stopped at the Pinball Hall of Fame again. Dee took another nap in the car and I played some more classic games for about an hour.

For dinner we went to Orleans buffet. It was so good last week when we went we decided to go again. Plus I had plenty of comps at Boyd so it was a good choice. It was good again and we ate too much. We did take it easy on the desserts though because when we left we hit Jack in the Box for one last milkshake. We also grabbed some muffins for breakfast from Java Vegas.

After dinner we came to the room to wrap things and up get ready for tomorrow's dreadful day.
