Day 24
Sunday July 5, 2015
We were up early today and started off by packing up the rest of our things. Today is moving day and we'll be leaving the Rio. It's been nice staying put here for the last 5 nights and the previous 6 nights at Main Street Station.

Once we were all packed up we checked out. I had some room charges from show tickets. I still had about $10 left on my food and beverage credit so went to the Sports Deli and got us a sandwich to go. Then I went back to check out I used reward credits to cover the costs of the show tickets and then we got out of here.

We left the Rio and went up to Arizona Charlie's Decatur. I had $90 in free play from a mailer to use. We played in the non smoking room. The triple/five/ten play machines we being played so we took a chance with the straight up ten play machines. Dee started off well popping some quads. I was hovering and got a dealt straight then flush back to back but from there it was all downhill. I dropped 2 bills. Dee almost busted out but had a come back and only ended up down $75.

We used the $90 free play on some penny games. We did well on the first game but not so hot on the others. We turned the $90 into only $65 which wasn't that good. On the way out we stopped off at the gift shop to use a $3 credit I had from the kiosk for a few snacks and then took off.

The next stop was to the laundromat to drop off laundry for fluff and fold service. It's nice to have all the clothes washed and folded for the trip home and not to have to bother with it after vacation.

It was still early so we stopped at the Pinball Hall of Fame. Dee stayed in the car and napped while I went inside and played. This place is always a lot of fun and a cheap alternative to gambling!

Next up we made our way to the strip and to Cosmopolitan. This would be the final move of the trip for us as this trip is almost over.

I booked this on a mailed offer of 3 nights and $180 in free play. When I made the reservation I was told I'd be getting a 1 bedroom Terrace Room. This seemed a little bit too good for the action we did here back in December and I would believe it when I see it.

Checking in here was easy. Once we got to the desk we were indeed given the 1 bedroom Terrace in the East Tower room number 5590. This room has a living room when you enter with a couch, coffee table, and armchair. There's a work desk and 42” TV. There is also a wet bar area with a dishwasher and microwave. Unfortunately the fridge is a mini bar but the bottom has a freezer. There are 2 large closets to the right and on the left is a very large bathroom. To the far left is the toilet room. In the center is a double vanity sink and to the right is a wet room with shower that walks through to a Japanese Soaking Tub. The tub has a window looking outside. The bedroom is small with a king bed, night stands and flat screen TV. There is also a Terrace with a chair and table on it. This room has views of Bellagio, the West Tower, Aria, Vdara and Monte Carlo. You can also see the pool that was booming with loud music on Sunday afternoon.

We got set up in the room and then went over to Bally's. The plan was to get tickets to 50 Shades the Parody using my free monthly tickets. Last month we wanted to go to this and were told it was dark but would open on 7/2. Today we arrive and now it's dark until 7/8. I was not amused. We went tot he diamond lounge for dinner. Tonight they offered vegetables and chips/dip. The hot items were chicken wings and these things they called feta & sun dried tomato purses. There was the usual selection of small desserts and cookies.

We came back to Cosmo and hit the casino. First up was to activate my free play and then it was to machines for some VP. We chose to play the 100 play machine for dimes. We took it easy only doing 30 lines with the plan if we were doing well to increase the number of hands. Things here weren't too bad. We were getting good play in but were losing. I had to put in a 3rd bill but things were good from here. We were hitting a fair number of quads to keep alive. As the meter grew each time we got up but $100 we increased the number of hands up by another 10. One hand I got dealt trip aces and ended up with 4 sets. On another hand I was dealt trip threes and in 60 hands got non quads. That's was rough. Another bigger hand was being dealt 4 to an open ended straight flush. I only hit 2 of them in 40 hands with one being the dreaded king high version. I can't complain that much though because I held the 9! The highlight of the session was getting dealt quad nines with 40 lines in action.

We were up exactly $600 at this point and had run the amount of action we were looking to do so hit the cash out button. I ran my $180 free play though and turned it into just over $200 so it was a good night here at the Cosmopolitan.

It was getting late and had been a long day so we came to the room and ended the day with some TV.
