Sunday, August 31st, wife's birthday. Started off going to the Eureka for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Wife had the breakfast sandwich and I had the sausage burrito. New member sign up netted us each $25 FP after playing $25. I got $10 FP and $10 dining credits for the 55 and over Senior Sunday, while wife got $10 FP and $15 dining credits for herbl birthday promo. Using the bogo LVA coupon and some dining credits, a $5 tip was all breakfast cost. Score!
Wife parlayed her FP into $100 profit thanks to a nice Mo Mummy bonus and I netted $60 playing Cleopatras Wild Tiles.
Next stop was Ellis Island to meet up with our son. He and his buddy went to a 2000's night at Area 15. He said they had a great time.
We met at the slot club to get our cards, and redeem the LVA coupon for the two specialty drinks with the purchase of two appetizers at Frontyard. Son and his buddy got the two apps, while wife and I had the drinks. We got two lemon berry loves. Supposed to have vodka, but couldn't actually taste any. Not worth the $14 they usually cost. Not impressed with the Frontyard. Took over 20 minutes to get the drinks and over 30 minutes to get the apps.
Wife and I played some. She got $10 in FP for her birthday and I got $10 with another LVA coupon. Firecracker game was good to me for another $60 profit. Wife wanted Krispy Kremes for her birthday, so a drive to Warm Springs Rd. was in order.
After getting some donuts the 4 of us hit up Orleans to use our FP. Didn't realize it was a pick em gift day. I had a nice run on Mo Mummy and Cleopatras Wild Tiles for a $100 profit, and went down $40 playing VP at one of the bars while my wife and the guys played blackjack. Son and wife lost a hundo while my son's buddy made $50. They joined me at the bar for some VP and a drink.
My wife checked her account and noticed she earned not just one, but two gifts. I had the same thing. There were a number of different gifts, so we got 3 insulated backpack coolers and a digital scale.
Headed back to the Westgate for dinner at the Silk Road Asian Bistro, but they were closed. Supposed to be open on Sundays, but nope! Even the bartender at the International Bar was surprised. Decided to head down to the sportsbook deli for food. Wife still had some food credits. We got pizza and garlic knots for myself and the guys, while my wife had the chicken strips and fries. We sat at the Sportsbook Bar to eat, play VP and have some drinks. I did hit a 4oak in kings to eek out a $40 profit. Winning even a bit is better than losing.
After eating we left the guys at the bar and used the last of the FP I had from the tournament. We played wicked winnings and the firecracker game. Parlayed the $300 FP into $220 cash, before heading back to the timeshare for the night.
Overall, was able to turn the $3000 FP into just over $2800.
Always nice to have some winnings before you return to the classroom. How did you do at the Sahara? I was in LV last Wednesday and went there to use my birthday spin. I got $5 to use at a food location. However, I did use my LVA $10 free play coupon for some VP on one of the 6 machines that I can find and hit a straight flush on quarters. Thanks Anthony. Take care and have a great school year.
