Main Street Station TR Aug 4-7

My first Vegas trip as a senior citizen! No, you young whippersnappers and wanna be
Hipsters of 50, 55 and 60 do
Not really count as true seniors!
I am legit! The big six five!
Now, get off my lawn!

This is trip approximately 35 or
So. 

Spoiler alert: the Royal Flush 
Still eludes me after 22 years!
Sigh...




Quick cheap solo trip!
Frontier Air, 4 nights at
Main Street Station, 2 comped,
Just under $400 for room and air.

I chose the first row, window
Seat going, 1F. As I boarded,
A young man was in my window seat
And a young woman was in the
Aisle seat. ( everyone is young
When you are 65! )

The flight attendant, who I
Had told my seat assignment to,
Questioned the man as to his
Seat. Of course he was in mine.
As I put my bag in the overhead 
Bin, he moved to his aisle seat.
But the lady moved out of his
Aisle seat and into my window
Seat!!! I said nothing, but the
Attendant knew it was my seat 
And directed her to move.
Then the lady has the nerve 
To give me a dirty look as I
Take my rightful place on my
Throne!

What is wrong with these people?
They knew as well as I did what
Seat you selected! Wow!

Finally, Vegas.




At my room, checked in!



Made my way over to the Cal
To try the Oxtail Soup. I had tried 
It years ago and not liked it. But
Upon hearing so many people loving 
It gave it a second try.

This time, I liked it!
On my to do again list!




Lady sitting two seats away from
Me at the counter gave the 70
Year old waitress such a hard time!
Claiming she did not order eggs
Benedict and now her visit to
The Cal was ruined!

Please! 99 times out of a 100
You know this whiner messed up
Her own order! Leave that
Hard working waitress alone!

Late Sunday night arrival,
Off to bed!

Monday morning! On the
Prowl now for marijuana 
Edibles!

Googled a pot shop 0.8
Of Mile from Main Street.
Advertised As 24/7

Started there about 730 AM

Walk a little dicey, do decided
To Uber back with product.

Security guard there at NuWu
Informs me only the drive through is
Open now, inside access opens
At 9, but I can walk up.

Ok.

Pick out some hard candy and
Chocolate only to find out
They do not accept credit cards,
Only cash or debit.

Sigh...

I decide to Uber ftom NuWu
To Planet 13. I tried calling first
To check their payment policy,
But my phone was not working to
Call them. My Uber app
Worked so I went ahead
And used it to go there.



Inside 




Mistake. Same payment policy!
Sigh...

Uber back to downtown!
As we were standing still to
Enter the freeway in the Uber,
An SUV squeeled up behind 
Us and I heard a touching metal
Sound! We were not sure if it
Actually hit us! But later that day
I received a text from Uber apologizing for the accident and
Refunding my trip fare! A win!


At this point I had given up
On obtaining any legal marijuana 
As I did not want to rack up
More Uber fees.

Off to breakfast at the Cal,
Aloha Specialties.
Scrambled eggs, spam and sausage over white rice.

MEH. Less than good.

Made. $40 baseball 2 team parlay.
One win, one loss, I lose!

Sat down at Main Street Station for
25 cent 10/7 Double Bonus.
Put $60 in.

Got down to $20
Then, in about 15 minutes,
Hit four 4OK

Up to $300!

Played down to $250, cashed
Out plus $190!












Forgot to get scratch cards, so
Essentially threw away $8

With my newfound winnings,
I decided to try another 
Pot Run via Uber!

I made my return back to
Planet 13! This time, I walked out
With some cinnamon gummies 
And some liquid berry juice.

Almost $80 for both.

Back to Main Street Station 

And over to Nacho Daddy!

2 Strawberry Margaritas and
Some queso dip I head back
To Main Street Station.

Going back by way of El Cortez
And the Downtown Grand
Where I Dropped $40 and
$50 each on VP!

At 71, I really like your observation "everyone is young

When you are 65!".  Nice report.  It also took me a few years to get my first royal.  It was at the Imperial Palace.

Nice TR   Thanks.I am 79 charging hard at 80, & don't understand the younger generations arrogance, I am no longer cool but outspoken. Embarrasse wife sometimes but makes old man feel vindicated. Again thanks for TR. 

Bobby Smithville, Texas

I did the MSS solo in Early October. I like that place! Too bad I stayed on the freeway side!Harley Davidson's and semi's @ 7 AM.

Boar's head Bar is good for 9/6 VP and "free" (GOOD) beers.

I'm hoping for my RF in October,this year.We are ALL overdue.

Thanks for a superb TR!

Robert.  You sound so forgiving!  What meds do you take?  LOL.  Great pictures.  Thanks for the excellent TR.  You'll get that Royal Flush one of these days.  Try some 3/5 play.

Like Bobby White, I have moved into the "outspoken" generation.  One of the small pleasures of aging, even better when it embarrasses your company.

Nice 4OAK's.    Those go a long way towards paying for dinner and stuff  =)
