Socially Distanced Trip to Las Vegas, February 24 to March 2 - Day Four

Scott arrived last night, and we all were playing at Four Queens, so we met for breakfast at Magnolia's.  I think there was some sort of comment made on one of Kip's photos regarding bacon (since she's a vegetarian).  Therefore, every chance I get, I like to highlight the fact that she has bacon on her plate:

Bacon!

We had a 2-1 coupon for breakfast, so we got the same thing!

Queen's Breakfast (which apparently isn't on the menu anymore)

So we're doing the same 1,000 points at Four Queens as we did at Binion's, except we're playing 9/6 Jacks instead of 8/5 Bonus.  Our play went okay, it looks like I had a win after four hours of play.  Kip hit 11 quads and I hit 10.  Scott "only" hit seven, but he also hit a jack-high straight flush.  There was also a high probability that he was playing double double.

So close. . .

We weren't having dinner until around 8:30 PM, so we decided to have a late lunch back at Magnolia's (since Scott had a bunch of comps that he earned when he did a promo last June).  I got a prime rib dip, quite tasty.

Not a "French" dip. . .

According to my notes, we went to Binion's afterwards, I guess to hang out with Scott while he did his play there.  I remember Kip and I playing Hexbreaker because we thought it looked like a good play.  We got a line hit for around $90-some and cashed out at $78.50, without hitting the bonus.

We took a little break and then it was time for dinner at Hugo's!  Kip and I had to go pick up AH at Aria, so we had over there, pick her up, and head back downtown.  It's always a nice presentation there.

The complimentary desserts.

Kip and I drop AH back off at Aria and head back downtown.  We had 12:30 AM reservations at Legacy Club.  I had heard that they were pretty strict about their dress code.  Kip had some footwear that were sandal-like, and they said she needed other shoes.  Most places seem to be more lenient regarding women's ware, but not here.  Kip said that was fine and Scott and I should just go, so he and I went up.

Not many choices in this elevator. . .

They have quite the (pricey) booze selection, and I decided to get something I haven't tried before:





Interesting top shelf liquor. . .

The main reason (I guess) you come here is the views, and they are pretty nice.

The full moon!

It was a nice place.  I understand that now you need to make a deposit to reserve a spot, and they use that as credit on your drinks.  I don't know if they give that back to you if you just use comps.  I'm not sure I'd p-p-pay actual money to go back though.

Since I was here, I stopped at the sports book area:


I played some VP there and a cocktail waitress came by and asked me if I wanted a drink.  I hadn't noticed, but a drink ticket had come out of the machine I was playing.  I didn't know that was a thing there.  I wasn't planning on playing very long, then I hit this:

$190 profit for about 10 minutes of work. . .

I head back to Golden Gate and I believe Kip was already in bed (unless she was out on the casino floor).  I uploaded some photos before heading to bed, probably around 3:00 AM. . .
