ay five was realativley uneventful except for the Wynn.

went to the Wide Shoe Store at Harmon and Paradise (the road is a mess). Nice store if you have very wife feet. saw two pairs of shoes in sale that were too wide 5E’s so didn’t.

went to Costco on Martin Luther and overspent our days spending money, cigarettes and books. After reading Void Moon (great book about Vegas), I may add Michael Connelly to my reading list so bought the latest plus a paperback.

Next stop the Palms for the $50 POV coupon. No food, Maureen not up to it, so hit the Palms shop, after Silver Strike number 10, different machine, three playlines but need two bars plus a Silver Strike to win. but you can win up to three.

Needless to say the Palms Shop is a disappointment. Do you get the feeling that if a coupon seems to good to to be true.

Buy two hats and a T-shirt and save $40, but struggle to do that.

Off to the Wynn for lunch. haven’t tried the other great buffet’s (we are comped at the Wynn cause Moe loves the casino), but cannot imagine them being much better than this one. The pasta selection is amazing and the Kobe Meatballs are to die for. Even the Kansas Ribs are better than anywhere else.

and the desserts. Wow.

Anyway, needed to go to the rest (wash) room and am attacked by the automatic toilets. I am a standing finisher so when I get up to finish the toilet flushes, BUT I AM NOT FINISHED. So what do you do. No evidence of a manual flusher so you sit down with your pants up and stand up to finish the job. Unfortunatley the toilet chose that time to overflush giving my pants a good wash.

I guess the casinos - and don’t get me wrong I have visited most of the toilets this week and have yet to hit a bad one - need the auto flush to keep them clean, but only a few have a rehit button.

After the Wynn we go back to the Strat to finish our comp. Love affair over. The special comp for newbies does not apply to the triple bonus points and we have been misformed. No comps to be had and the jacket sucks anyway.

As Jean Scott says, If you have a question just ask. If you aren’t satisfied with the answer ask someone else. not everyone in fully informed and some just guess.

The $100 loss deal is only available at the Arizona Charlie casinos but if you sign up and paly at the Strat the deal is not available.

Still play and give too much money back. Have a good run at Starwars 1, but have concluded that I prefer the bonus round in Star Wars 2. Some how free spins are always more fun than just cash.

maureen is still under the weather so we decide to go to the Hard Rock and then make it an early night.

HR is a zoo SEMA is putting on an outdoor show in the self parking lot and the place is full of truckers on expense reports. Luckily they do not play slots, just drink and fall down at lot, so the machines are realtively quiet.

give the Mutlstrike another shot. Takes back some of the money it gave me.

Anyway, its 10 pm and we are hungry sowe what Lucky’s. Service and good and the food is great. What a surprise. Maureen has an outstanding steak sandwich with Watermelon as a side. Neat idea.

time for home but see a penny Alien that needs to be played. hot two bonuses (one of which i open the hatch) and an egg which I finish wthout crashing so end up $40 ahead.

Pretty nice day, one full one left.
