Viva Las Value

The @ElCortezLV gives (at least) $25 match bet, $10 free play, and a free well/domestic if you show a boarding pass from ANY AIRLINE within 24 hours of landing!

Proud of my restraint. Made it the entire time at the airport without caving to my temptation to play slots!

Correction: this is 10/7/5/3/1/1. The payout on two pair is still disgusting, but it’s not quite as dreadful as I first thought.

Pretty damn ugly deuces on the new Game Kings at the airport as well.

Shame on LAS. They have two new Game King cabinets at the C gates… and the Jacks or Better pays 7/5/1. Paying one on the two pair is heinous.

Rental car dropped off. To the airport I go.

Checked out the new food hall at Rio. Good options and pretty reasonable prices. Got a good (greasy) Philly. $13, and used my $10 comp.

Can’t believe I forgot to post pics from the Neon Museum!

As I lie in bed in Pahrump, I hear the couple next door having sex and the sound of distant sirens. My desire to pinch some pennies may have been misguided...

Evidently Saddle West is *NOT* the exclusive home of winning and feasting, as I did both at Terrible’s Roadhouse.

Terrible’s Roadhouse for dinner. Service was slow, but food hit the spot after a long day outside.

Terrible’s Roadhouse wasn’t so Terrible. Put $5 in on the way out after dinner and hit this in free spins.

I can’t say I’d go out of my way to visit Pahrump again, but the price was right and it’s nice to have a halfway point on the way back from Death Valley.

Death Valley was GORGEOUS!

BRUUUUUUUCE

Sandwich was decent. Nothing special, and not worth $16. Was lukewarm, apparently their texting system doesn’t work. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We have been waiting 23 minutes and counting for our chicken sandwich. It was $1 after mom’s $15 comp, so hard to complain, but was expecting something a bit faster.

Two options for sign up at Fontainebleau (that can’t be combined) Mom got the $15/$15, and I got $100 of resort credit and Silver.

Mom and I couldn’t help ourselves. Very mediocre game play. Highly volatile, and we were on the losing end.

Went full degen at Fontainebleau on a Hail Mary. Had Mom hit the deal, and she came through clutch.

Tier matching at Fontainebleau. They are managing the line very well, and have someone helping direct people to the kiosks. Very friendly customer service. Table minimums are $25, which feel reasonable given the environment.
