Day 3
Friday December 11, 2015
We were up early today and packed up the few things we needed for this stay at the Linq. We checked out and headed to Laughlin. We left quite a bit earlier than normal and the ride was the same as it usually is, BORING! On the way we made a quick stop at Einstein Brothers Bagels to hold us over.

We arrived at the Aquarius where we'd be staying for the next 5 nights. When we arrived there was a happy birthday message on the Marquee. AP was also up there along with his anniversary so we got pictures of all 3. The was pretty cool to see. I wasn't sure if the rooms were going to be ready yet but we took a shot and they were. We also got a holiday gift basket from our host when we got there too.

I had booked a small suite again with my host like we had last time. The extra space was just enough for us without being too big like their larger suites. I also had a mail offer for $350 in free play and another $50 from my host for my birthday. Dee also has a mailer that's good later in the week that's good for $135 giving us $535 in free play. Dee will also be getting her “dividend” this trip along with cashing in some points. I'll also cash in some points as well and that should double our free play by the time we're done.

We were assigned room 18130. This room has a living room when you walk in with a wet bar area, couch (that's a sleeper), chairs, coffee table and flat screen TV. It has a view of the river from the side window and of the street, parking lot, mountains, outlet mall and events center out the main windows. The bedroom features a king bed, dresser, night stands work desk, and flat screen TV. There is also a view of the same stuff you can see from the living room.

The bathroom is small with your basic tub, toilet and vanity.

Once we got our stuff up to the room it was off to the casino. We'd be playing on my card today and we started off with some Super Times Pay. It was not good and we got hammered here dropping about 9 bills and only got about 8k in play. Yet another session where we lost close to 12%.

We went to the room for a while to take a break before dinner.

For dinner we went to Outback with our friend AP who was also in Laughlin for the next few days. I got a pork chop and Dee got a burger. We had a great time enjoying a good meal and hanging out with AP. The food was typical, average at best for Outback.

After dinner it was back to the machines and more video poker action. We played triple play deuces wild with a progressive this time. The pay table is short on the quints and wild royal. I was getting killed yet again. Dee was streaky and actually hit deuces two times. That was the good part. The bad was she only won $100 and even worse is I lost $100.

I ran my $400 free play through $1 8/5 bonus. I actually case out the entire $400 after hitting a full house on my last hand.

Our last play for the day was Dee playing 8/5 bonus 5 play and losing yet another $100. I played STP and lost $200 in 15 minutes. I switched over to Spin Poker and was doing better but only hit one quad and dropped $100 in about 4 minutes.

It was getting late and had been a long day so we packed it in and headed up to bed after yet another horrible day at the machines.
