Day 11
Saturday December 19, 2015
We slept in today because I've been getting a cold that really set in last night. I'm not happy about this. Getting sick on vacation just sucks dick.

By the time I was motivated it was about lunch time so we went to the Triple 7. Dee had a burger and ordered pepper jack cheese on it and got regular cheese. That was a really hard request to fulfill. I had a ½ rack of ribs. The BBQ sauce on them was good but the ribs looked like they came off an anorexic pig.

Next up we hit the machines. After throwing on a quick ten points I took today's swipe in the 15 days of giving promotion and won a fucking $15 food credit. What a joke that 2 of the 4 days we're here I win food credit when I've already got a silver card.

Dee hit quad deuces on 2 of 3 lines right away but that would be pretty much all for her. She dropped $200 on only $1300 in action. I wasn't doing much better on my machine. I was down $100 after only $220 in action. On my next bill things were a little better but I couldn't get dealt anything. The only thing that saved me was every time I got dealt trips I landed a quad. That was 4 times and once I hit 2 quads on the same hand. After less than 2.8k in action we were down $300 in 45 minutes. So we're right back to the 10-12% loss rate bullshit again.

We took a break for a while up in the room. Dee read her book and I wrote this report!

After the break we were back at it again. We took a shot at 10 play and tried to extend our play time by setting the machines to slow. Initially I though it was going to be a decent session when we both hit straight flushes at the same time. It was dry after that though but oddly even without big hands and dealt winners we stayed alive. I popped in 2 more bills again with no luck. The quads just weren't coming. We were up to about 7k between us and had 4 quads. Then suddenly Dee started hitting quads like crazy including some bonus quads and aces 3 different times. Although we were still very under quadded this session she won $420 to offset my $400 loss. I had 2 quads on about 4k in action and she only had 7 in 4k so about half of what we should get. This is pretty odd especially on ten play. I was quite happy to get out of the session not losing though.

We left Main Street Station and went over to the Gold Coast. We had dinner plans with my friend Anne and Steve and Stacy at 7pm. We got there early so we could play there a bit. We hit our normal triple/five play machines here like we usually do. Dee got off to a great start popping lots of quads. I hit 2 quads right off the bat and then died. Even my hail Mary attempts failed me. Dee cashed out with a $200 win while I dropped $400 for yet another $200 loss.

It was still early enough so we played more. This time we played deuces wild for halves. This was decent and we both got a good amount of play and unlike lots of deuces sessions it was pretty flat lined without the swings. By the time we were done we both cashed out even.

For dinner we went to the Cortez Room. They've changed this place a bit and revamped the menu. One thing they did that I am disappointed in was to go a la carte. I fucking hate a la carte menus especially when they used to be all inclusive here. Hopefully the locals bitch up a storm and they'll revert back. Years ago Fuego at Fiesta Henderson tried this shit and it failed and they went back to an all inclusive menu. I went with the bone in rib eye and a side of creamed corn. Dee went with the salmon. Dee said her salmon was excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor but it was pretty small. After eating the whole thing and the entire side of corn I walked out of there still hungry. This is not a good thing when you're serving a guest a meal that's close to $50. We all had a good time and shared some great stories.

We hit the deuces machines again after we ate. Things were rough this time around for Dee and she ended up needing a second bill right away. She got more play this time around even getting back her original bill back thanks to a number of quints and straight flushes. I played the whole time on one bill just hovering for a while and then a wild royal and some quints shot my meter up over $200. Then things turned and I was losing every hand I played and the $200 was $100 and then down to $50 before I started winning any hands. The bleed continued and I was at $17 when I popped deuces for $500 saving the day. Between us we cashed out with a $400 win this time around.

We left the Gold Coast and came back to main Street Station. We ran over to the Cal snack bar to get some stuff to use up the $15 food credit I won earlier today. I got a bowl of soup (told you I was still hungry after dinner) and some other snacks and drinks for the room.

We came back to the room and pretty much crashed for the night.
