Walking back from the BODIES exibition at the Trop, I noticed
one side of PlanetAladdin painted the bright BLUE...that was it.
It's still a total mess on the inside.
Yeah Matt, my room on the Ballys side of the BC is real loud!
Over at the RIO you don't hear anything except the freight trains LOL!
Police cars, emergency vehicles, drunk tourists...all comes right up
through the windows! Noise doesn't bother me, I can sleep through
anything but I was still amazed how much drifted into the room.
They say if you ask for a room on the Flamingo side, it's much quieter.
The Ballys marquee has the JUBILEE add up and theres no sound with
it. What I also heard through out the late afternoon and into the night,
was the BOOM! from the big bursts of water shot off in Bellagio's
fountain Show....and the GIANT/SUPER/WOF, well.............................
Well I'm back, and I played, AND I LOST, LOL! SURPRISE-SURPRISE
I watched off and on the first day to see if any seat was hitting the SPINS
more than others...station 1 and 9 were the consistent winners, and 1 seemed to
have the edge so......late Friday night the machine was pretty empty and I played.
$100. IN, played MAX/MAX...that means for lines, I chose the 40+ which lets you
be eligible for the progressive and chose MAX pennies...I just hit 'Play Maximum'
each time, four bucks. I hit credits alot, but only 1 SPIN and landed on 2400x.
The session lasted around 15min. and I put it all back in.
....put in another hundred. Station 1 hits alot of credits to keep you playing, and when
I was watching earlier had several good SPINS for the person playing, but it wasn't my
time...lost the second hundred real fast with no SPINS.
Now loosing is never as fun as winning, and I planned on loosing that $200. BUT, what
haunted me throughout the night was I'd forgotten to put in my COAST PLAYERS CARD
during that first session.....lost out on 40 points for future point totals! THAT WAS TOUGH.
I don't play much at COAST but figured if Harrahs was going to trade BARBARY COAST for
RIO, I'd start building up a points history...LOL!...very unrealistic, but seemed fun at the time.
The staff at BC had heard all the rumors and were quite philosophical about the whole thing...
All they'd heard was a cash deal was more favorable than a trade, they expected the
property to be sold at some point and until then...business as usuall.
I put another $200. in on Saturday (with my card), and lost again...too bad/so sad.
