Just a quickee trip report. Spent Tuesday night @ Fitzgeralds. My wife & I like at least one night downtown. Lots to see & the casinos are fairly close. I only play video poker so I started right away at Fitz’s steak dinner for 4 of a kind bank of machines. Within 5 minutes I had a quad and a dinner coupon. LOL-that was it! In the next 24 hours never got another one.
We then moved on to Harrah’s for the next few nights. Much quieter during the week than on the weekends(I guess they all are). Anyway, the quads here were also few & far between. Last year I got many, many more. Almost seemed like they were tightened up regardless of what the pay table read. I sure made my donation. In fact, I haven’t seen a beating like that since they put a banana in my pants and turned the monkey loose (apologies to Randy Quaid).
On a positive note, the monorail was working smoothly. A $10 24 hour pass was well worth it & we explored up & down the strip.

Also took a drive to Red Rock Canyon. Only 25 minutes from the strip but it’s another world. I recommend the 13 mile scenic drive. A great place to forget your gaming woes and enjoy nature.

Well, time to regroup, refinance & plan another trip. I guess there really is one born every minute.
