Day 3 Live Trip Report - April 22, 2008

Day 3 is now in the books, and I am bummed out I am 60+% done with my trip. Last night is the last real night to be a legend, so I will try to.

Today, I left the PH resort and it%26#39;s quality room. I packed up and moved about a mile and a half North to TI Casino. I never stayed here, so I know I was kinda wary about wasting my trip on a piece of crap... So I decided... The $20 Trick.

For those of ya who don%26#39;t know the $20 trick is when you tip the clerk $20 to get an upgraded room.. this one a suite for example. I orig. rented a regular joe room.. nothing special

I waited for the youngest girl I saw working to give me a chance at succeeding. So I waited and got Wendy. She was actually pretty hot :) I tried my bs charm and jokes and she was laughing a lot. I showed her the $20 and asked for an upgrade. She said let me check it out.. No dice on the suite.. she gave me back the $20.. so She said ';I wanna look for something nice for your bday....'; She then said. How about if I put you up in a room with a view. I said sure! She said ok. ';Done, and I%26#39;m gonna arrange for a bottle of Champagne to be sent up to you.'; I smiled.. she smiled back. If this wasn%26#39;t Vegas, I%26#39;d have thought I have a chance with a chick like that, lol

I go up.. and my god, the room is so amazing I don%26#39;t get wowed by a view usually but you can see EVERY casino south of here.. It feels like you are above the road looking at everything.. I can see the pool (and down peoples bikini tops, lol) and the champagne she sent up was a $100 bottle according to Room Service Menu. :)

She gave me the $20 back.. More on that in a bit.

So, anyway.. the one thing I really don%26#39;t like here at TI is the casino.. I dunno, something about it that I find uninspired. At least I%26#39;m across from Wynn and Palazzo.

I decide to go eat before I gamble a little bit, so I go to Fashion Show Mall.. Whats weird is I didn%26#39;t know how huge and amazing it is inside.. I go to Subway and sit down, and I see the prettiest girl I have seen all trip.. at Subway, lol... She is working there.. she was too damn sweet. Being a young guy still, I%26#39;m always in ';get together with someone'; mode, so I kept on making her laugh.. then I heard her tell her coworker in spanish that ';That guy is so cute'; and there was a lot of giggling. If she%26#39;s tellin the truth, then yeah.. I still got it :)

(Note: I am going back to eat there today... If she%26#39;s around, I%26#39;m gonna ask her what she%26#39;s doin%26#39; tonight) I love being young still even though I am on the cusp of 30 in 5 years, lol

So I decided before I go gamble somewhere else, I will spend the $20 I tried to tip the hottie at the front desk, so I played Price is Right Dice Game.. 2 cent with a max bet.. I played a little.. up and down.. then I got dealt 5 of the best character on there including wilds... I won $300 on my $20 trick tip! Yay.. So for the second full day, I didn%26#39;t need to visit the ATM :D... Although I didn%26#39;t win a lot of life changing money yet, I am enjoying 4 nights so far for about $200 spent MAX :) I am so happy

The machines I play are just still Spin Poker, DDB VP, Triple Play Poker.. I played a little more Price is Right machine at Mirage.. with no luck

Yesterday was ';Poor James B. Day'; where I wore some old jeans, and older shirt, and went to the lower casinos... NEVER AGAIN!

I am too spoiled.. When I went to slots of fun, it smelled of feet in there (Like an old mexican man%26#39;s feet.. I grew up in a mexican american town, and being mexican myself, so I know the smell) The waitresses there are old and droopy and I wanted to cry for them how crappy they looked. It was like a waitress senior tour. I then went on the Deuce to Fremont.. Yeah, it%26#39;s not for me. Except the band there was playing a lot of hard rock tunes which was cool. I didn%26#39;t wanna drink there or anything. The bus ride nearly drove me to tears, as I see how the ';other half'; lives... The homeless people walking around reeked.. ugh.

I won nada either, and when I wanted to go home, the line for the deuce was 2 blocks long.. I waited half an hour.. drove another half an hour to center strip.. and i got out asap.. we were so cramped in there... it had to be a hazard.

I came back in.. watched Fox 5 news, got drunk in here.. And went to some Harrah%26#39;s properties without any major luck until 2 am.. Then I ate at my fav pizza place again, and headed home.

I lost maybe $150 today, But I coulda lost about $600 more easy, so I am having a lot of fun, and this trip will be on budget and then some. One more full day including sleep, and today is ';Todd Kay'; memorial day. He is this nice customer of mine who is a walking Harrah%26#39;s billboard.. So I am playing at all these places tonight :) See ya next blog! :)

Day 3 Live Trip Report - April 22, 2008

My thoughts exactly...you should find that nice young lady working at the desk and hook her up on the $20.

Enjoying your live trip report as if I were there!

Thanks for posting while you are in the process of partying it up!

I tipped her the $20 today. I thanked her for everything. She seemed touched that I went out of my way to track her down, lol

Very nice of you. Did you go back to Subway yet and try for that date? Glad you%26#39;re having a good BDay in Vegas.

I%26#39;m going now.. lol :) Lunch Time (at 4pm.. now I know I%26#39;m in Vegas)

Looking forward to hearing what happens at Subway.
