Day 2
Thursday Decemeber 10, 2015
When we got up today we started off with Dee getting up at 4am thinking it was 7. Screw it, I got up too. We left the room and went to the casino. First stop was Nosh Express for 2 muffins.

Next up we played my free play on some penny games. At first we did ok but then it got bad. We turned the $50 free play into just $20. I knew better than to play slots here so shame on me.

Next to get some action in we played some short pay video poker. We only ran 3k through the machines and dropped 4 bills between us with no major hits at all.

We came back tot he room to get some more sleep. We were woken up by a phone call from room service. There was a guy outside the room with a birthday cake for me and a snack box! The cake was a sponge cake with pudding and fruit in the layers and was really good but the frosting was Crisco and sugar and not good. The snack box had chips, pretzels, cashews, cookies and dried fruits.

We left the Linq and went to the Flamingo to get show tickets to X – Burlesque, a show Dee has wanted to see for years. I used a 2 for 1 from the ACG and charged $76 to the room to be covered with comps when we check out.

Next was to the player's club to get a $100 voucher for dinner tonight from my 7* celebration dinners and then it was back to the Linq to fetch the car.

We left and went to Savers so Dee could get some books to read during the trip. Shop also got a new used purse.

Since we didn't need to play any more here today I decided to use the day to get reestablished at an old place that I used to play quite often. That place being Terrible's, now Silver 7's. I used to play here a lot in the old days. I used to get decent mail offers for my action and the comps were pretty good too. I thought I'd we'd take a shot today at trying to restart that action and see what happens. I got new cards and my points were still active. Today was 3x points on video poker. The VP here kind of sucks these days but I found some Loose deuces to play. Things were not good here with nothing happening. We walked out of there with a $300 loss and less than 3k in action again. This losing at a 12% rate needs to stop soon or we're going to be in real trouble.

During the afternoon we took a break in the room and watched some TV for a bit.

It was dinner time so we went over to the Flamingo. I had booked a reservation over at the Flamingo's steakhouse, Center Cut. We wanted to try this last time we were in town but ran short on time.

Oddly the prices here aren't super crazy which I was expecting them to be. Prices were in the thirties to forties for most entrees. I got the 7oz filet mignon with a twice baked potato. Dee got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. All in all I'd have to say this meal was excellent. The filet was cooked perfect and the twice baked potato was the best I ever had. I tried some of Dee's and the Alfredo sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The bill for the two of us was $73. I used points to cover the cost and we were on our way.

We went to the diamond lounge for some dessert afterwards. There wasn't much of a selection but there was enough to do the trick. The only problem with was the room was about 40 degrees and it was freezing in there

We still had plenty of time before the show so we came up to the room and watched TV for a while.

It was time to go to X – Burlesque. We had general admission tickets but my 7* card got us in first and 4th row center. The show was ok, but it's seriously like going to the titty bar without having to tip. Add in the price works out to about $1 per minute and the titty bar could be a better option!

We ended the night with a little more TV and then were asleep by midnight.
