One more try.
Sunday 11-13. Up and out at 8:30. I walked to Flamingo to eat at the cafe. Sat at the
counter. Food was what it was.
Went back to Paris to see what everybody was doing. Joe and Rick were at the Blazing 7's
again. Rick is just shaking his head with his losing this trip. Yet, he still plays the $1 slots. I
suppose he's trying to get the big hits Joe and Lou have had.
I play $vp for a while. Joe must have been bored winning at slots, so he comes sits at the
machine I deliberately did not sit at. You know where this is going. I tell him to play BP and
help him out when I can. He does not play vp. I saw him making some mistakes but was
too late to help before he played. He started with $100. First he hit four 3's and then four A's.
He ran it up $630. I told him if he gets down to $600 to cash out. He did for a $500 win. I lost.
We all went over to Harrahs. Another friend Joe was arriving with a pack of friends. After a bit
the new arrivals and Joe and Rick go to Imperial to HHAGG. I am not hungry and head to the
sports book to see if I can get a seat to watch the Bears/Lions. It's full; so, I head up to
Toby Keith's bar and sit at a vp machine. I put in my $ and asked the bartender if they comp up
here. He said that I looked like I knew what was doing(he should read this report) and he would
comp my beers. Sat and played about an hour and a half. My two free beers cost $30 in vp.
I played vp on the .25 progressive machine. lost. Everyone was back from eating, and we decided
to play craps. Again, no one had any kind of a roll. I lost.
I left, and as I was walking back to Paris there was a guy with his head in a waste basket by the
escallators to cross over to Bellagio. I could see he almost made it by the trail he made. It's
only about 4:00.
I went through the Sugar Factory. It looks like a nice place, and I'm sure it's a $ maker for Harrahs.
But I miss the fountain they had out there.
I went to Ellis Island again for the barbecue. The check-in guy said it would be an hour and a half.
Fine by me. I had the three drink coupon with me. There were four or five women at the bar and
I told the bartender to let them use it. I didn't feel like three martinis this trip. He served them up.
I had an IPA and watched more football. The check-in guy came over after only about 1/2 hour and
said to sit at the two seater outside the restaurant. I had the chicken/rib combo. Meal was really good.
Had a few more beers and decided to play bj. There are always pilots here. They must get a deal
somewhere close to stay. I played for a good while, but alas, lost.
Fast finish. I was back and in bed at 12:30.
Before this trip without my $1 royal last month in Chicago I was +- $100 for the year. I'm trying
to keep records. Now I'm down. It's $ from my gambling stash. Hurts, but that's the way it is.
Next trip hopefully 3-22-12 at Harrahs.
Good night everybody!
