Day 12
Sunday December 20, 2015
Today is moving day but before we headed out of Main Street Station we went over to the Four Queens. Today's play would be on Dee's card. She got an offer for $300 in free play and a free box of See's Candies for earning 500 points. She also has a coupon from the LVA book for $10 free play giving her a total of $310.

When we got there we settled in at the $1 jacks or better machines. Things were up and down here and we got most of our action in without too many swings. Some of the highlights were Dee's hail Mary and hitting a quad to get not only back in it but ahead. She also had an abundance of full houses that kept her playing on just one bill the whole session. The low light of the session was when she switched to DDB she hit jacks and at the same time I hit aces with a kicker but I was still on jacks or better. The other bad part for me was only hitting a few full houses and 2 quads the whole time. By the time we were done we were down just $60. I though this was really great for 12k in action on dollars.

We went to the players club and got Dee's $10 coupon added to her account and her box of candy. We also cashed out her points from the last 2 trips and got $77 for them.

For lunch we met up with AP and went to Magnolia's. Dee had Simply Jazz (2 eggs, toast and has browns). I had the open turkey and a cup of gumbo. Everything was typical Magnolia's. Nothing great but not bad either. The gumbo is a standout here though. The whole bill for 3 of us was only $40. Compare that to strip prices! AP picked up the bill using some of his many comp dollars. Thanks AP!!

We took Dee's $310 free play and ran it through 50¢ jacks and turned it into $330!

We made dinner plans with AP to go to Hugo's Cellar so had to leave to go check in and would return later.

We left downtown for the Strip and today's move is to Treasure Island. I don't have an offer here and haven't been here in years. The reason for booking this was a great rate during a flash sale on their website and this will be our Christmas present to ourselves. I booked a Petite Suite for a total of just over $100 a night including the resort fee. This will give us a nice room, center strip for the next 3 nights with no need to play to keep offers coming (but of course we'll play some).

When we got to check in the line was really long. This is one downfall of not being a higher rated player here. Amazingly this line moved very quickly and after only about 10 minutes in line we were at the counter. After about 2 minutes we were checked in and things were in order and everything was set for the 3 night stay. We were assigned room 19075. This is a Petite Suite with a king bed with nightstands. There's a small sitting area with a couch (has a sleeper in it) and coffee table, a work desk and flat screen TV. There are two bathrooms. One is large with a vanity, toilet and Jacuzzi tub. It's also got a large closet with a refrigerator and safe. The second bathroom has a toilet, one sink vanity and shower stall. This is one of the nicer rooms I've ever had and even with the tax and resort free is a fair price. Most other places I looked at offered similar rooms for 2-3x the price of this one.

Once we were settled into the room we took a short break and headed back out to the Four Queens. We had plenty of time before dinner so we hit the machines again. This time on my card. I had the same mailed offer Dee had except I didn't have the $10 coupon because I used it earlier this year.

This time around I was not hitting anything and was feeding in bill after bill. Dee on the other hand was having a great session. Although she only hit one quad she must have hit a flush or full house every 3-4 hands. Before I knew it she was up $100, then $200 then $300 and then over $400. In what was a great run for her was a terrible one for me and I lost that much.

We took a break and it was dinner time. We met up with AP and hit Hugo's. For starters Dee split a seafood platter with AP. It had 2 crab legs, 4 shrimp, and 4 lobster medallions.

For entrees Dee had the raspberry chicken. I had the prime rib. Both of these come with their table side salad. The food was great and the prime rib was cooked perfectly. Dee also got a piece of coffee cheesecake that I had a bite of. It was very rich and flavorful. They also provided chocolate dipped fruits for each of us as well.

After dinner it was back to the machines. This was just a flipped session of earlier. Dee was getting killed and I was doing well. Not as well as she did earlier though. There weren't any notable hands other than Dee hitting a straight flush for $250 and it being gone 15 minutes later. For most of the session we were close to even between us. As happens so often we got slammed in the last 100 points or so we needed. By the time we were done we were down around $250. Again, not terrible considering 12k in action at the dollar level. We ran my $300 free play through 50¢ jack or better. This time around it was not very good compared to Dee's free play. I only got out with about $240.

I went to the player's club and got my candy and cashed out my points from the last 2 trips as well and cashed out $80. This helped ease some of the losses too.

The last thing we did was pop a 20 into Dee's favorite Butterfly Sevens slot. We had a few decent hits and got some play in and actually cashed out a tiny $5 victory.

We left the Four Queens again and came back to Treasure Island for some TV and bed.
