Day 9
Wednesday December 28, 2005
Gaming:
Met up with Yahtzee Mike up at Fiesta Henderson to have lunch and burn some coupons. After lunch we hit the BJ tables and I used my $50 free bet that they mailed me. I won the hand for a nice $50 win. Next up I used a $25 POV match play. I busted my hand after taking 6 hits. Next was burning another match play at the craps table. I put $25 on the line and the point was 6. A few rolls later we had a winner for another $50 win. Finally I had $10 in free play that I ran through a penny slot machine. I hit a bonus round for 470 coins and had a few nice 100 coin hits along the way. I ended up cashing out the $10 I had to run through for another $10 win and $85 from Fiesta.
NOTE: Effective Friday December 23 Fiesta Henderson now only offers 3-4-5 times odds on craps instead of 10X. Way to go Stations.
After leaving Fiesta I went back to the Hard Rock for some craps action. I started off with a $50 free bet they mailed me and the shooter set a point of 6. He went out the next roll. So of the five $50 free bets I made this trip at the Hard Rock I lost 4 of them. The rest of the craps session was a repeat of last night. I’m not going to write about it again so if you forgot go read yesterday’s report!
After dinner I played a little VP at the Hard Rock. A little is the right term. I dropped $150 and didn’t get 1 hand better than trips. Seems my luck the last 2 days is just not there.
I finished up the night playing a variety of penny slots. I have been getting good bang for my buck on these and tonight I did too. In the end I dropped another $50 though.
Dining:
For lunch me and Mike went to the Baja Beach Café where I had my favorite meal the Feel Good Soup. This is still good but the chicken seems to have gone downhill. It’s not as flavorful as it used to be and seems a lot drier than in the old days.
For dinner I hit the coffee shop here at the Hard Rock again to use the $20 food coupon they sent me. I had the prime rib. It was actually pretty good for a coffee shop. I finished off with a slice of Oreo cheesecake.
Total win/loss for the day: -$1100
Total comps for the day: $291
