So after that huge session at the Red Rock...I had a couple of nice win sessions during my lunch hours at gold coast, with 2 quad aces with kicker, on two different machines and two different days.
We had my favorite cousin in the world and her lovely family coming over to Casa De Rizzo, for Thanksgiving weekend. They would be arriving on Saturday morning. I also had the task of watching my brothers two daughters from Friday after work thru Sunday night. There would be no casino action for me on any of those days. That was OK by us though...we had a wad of cash upstairs in a jar, and we would be spend some of it on family stuff.
Friday night was pizza and DVD night, with my neices, and Saturday would be breakfast at Silverton, and coming back home to get the house ready for my cousins arrival.
I asked for the whole Thanksgiving week off from work, so starting Saturday Nov 19th, LF and I would have 9 days off in a row!! woo hooo!!
The Silverton had a promotion running for the month of November that gave card players earning 1000 points on any day, a voucher for $40 bucks worth of food at any of their restaurants or the buffet.
Lady friend and I racked up a BUNCH of these. We had like 16 of these for a total of 640 bucks worth of chow. These came in handy, for all the company we had over.
So we did hit up the Silverton for steak and eggs on Saturday morning, and came back home to get the house ready.
After my cousins showed up we made a nice meal for everyone, and had a good time. The plan was to rest up around the house, for Monday and we had lots of stuff planned for that day.
Monday came around, and I took them out to the Red Rock for the breakfast buffet. Man..I still love the buffet over there, it never dissapoints! The whole family loved it too.
After breakfast, it was off to the bowling alley for a little fun. There were lots of us, and I bought 3 games for everyone. Great time was had by all.
Next on the agenda was a trip to Circus-Circus. This place really has gone down hill. The adventure dome is still cool to hang out, but all the places surrounding the casino and the walkways are all filled with peddlers. I felt like I was at a swap meet of some sort.
We did have fun on the rides, and I won lots of contests for stuffed animal prizes that I gave to my neices.
What a long tiresome day!! Sheeesh I was wore out!
I took them to New York-New York for the roller coaster ride the next day, and we made a visit to M&M world as well. I hadn't been to the strip in a long time, and this place has gone to the dogs as well. Lots of peddlers, pimps, drug dealers, hassling tourists. Those stupid costumed people were annoying as well.
That night I took them all to dinner at the Silverton buffet. It was great!
Durring my cousins visit, we did end up making two night trips to Silverton so the adults could play a little. Its been my experience, that when LF and I are with other people on a gambling trip, that we never win. We just get thrown off of our regular routine. My cousin didn't have much money either, so I was feeding her and her daughter some bucks here and there, so they could keep playing.
We went out two nights, and I lost 400 the first night, 300 the 2nd night! Not good...but what the hell..its family, we had fun and it was worth it.
Then Thanksgiving came around and we all pitched in, so Momma Rizzo wouldn't have to tire herself out like she did the year before, we cooked a huge bird, as well as a ham, and had plenty to eat! Great stuff
So now back to the gambling....The family left on the 27th.
Lady friend and I went to Silverton for some FSP that night, but we didn't win much.
Back to work on Monday.
The next real gambling session didn't happen until December 2nd that Friday. We took 400 from the slush fund and headed to Silverton! Yep...Silverton again! I love this place!
Well, the Silverton proceeded to slap my pee pee. I was down 300 bucks very quickly! Fortunatley for me, I was unaware that I only had 100 bucks left, or else I wouldn't have done what I did.
I pulled a 100 out of my wallet, and left LF playing 4-card keno, to go play a 25 cent wheel poker machine. I had noticed earlier that some dude was playing this machine and getting lots of quads and subsequent wheel spinners!
If I had know that this was the last 100 dollar bill in my wallet, I would not have taken a chance with this machine!!
However, Its a good thing I did play this machine. See pictures below.
I picked up four aces on 25 cent Bonus Poker 5-play for 100 bucks plus 1000 more coins on the wheel spin

I cashed out 300 bucks, and put another 20 in this machine, while LF went to cash out my ticket for me. I played 3-play bonus poker, and hit this beauty
Quad kings plus 1000 more coins on the wheel spin.

Lady friend came back with the cash, and was shocked to see me at 300 bucks again. heh heh
I put the ticket in my pocket, gave her 40 bucks to play the machine next to me, and I put another 100 bucks in mine and switched back to 5-play.
I was dealt three sevens , and picked up two quads for 2 wheel spins of 600, and 400 credits.
Sorry about the crappy picture.

Talk about a hell of a comeback! I ended up cashing out 300 on this one, but LF lost her 40 and another 40 that I gave her, and we had to get back home to the pups since they were alone. Momma Rizzo would be gone for the whole weekend, returning on Sunday afternoon.
The next day we had plans to do things, and boy did we do things!
Stay tuned for that!
Thanks to everyone for the nice comments so far. Keep them coming!
