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

We had a little bit of play to finish up at The D, so Kip and I headed back over there (Scott was staying there).  We got there around 8:15 AM, and I only needed 164 points to get to 1,000.  That would be almost two hours of play, plus we had to redeem the earned free play.  Things went well for me, I think we had a small profit (I don't seem to have those numbers with me).

So, when we started play yesterday, the royal was at around $1,148, it was now at $1,505!  We were supposed to take a break for lunch, but the gamblers in us decided to head over to Golden Gate to do our play (and hopefully no one would hit it during our travel!).

We get there and no one has hit the royal.  Things are still going well for me:

Another straight flush, and it's a pretty good one!

Then, around 1:30 PM, someone I know hit the royal:

Scott continues the trend of hitting a royal when I'm around. . .

Yeah, I wish I hit it, but at least someone who was with us putting in the time building up the royal got it.  Apparently I just hit other straight flushes:

Yeah, I hit a lot of straight flushes this trip. . .

Our planned play at Golden Gate was 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and then we had 7:00 PM dinner reservations at Barry's Downtown Prime.  We took a little break (since we didn't have one at all chasing the royal) and then headed across the street to Circa.

It was our first time there, and it was pretty nice.

Bread!

Lobster Bisque.

French fries!

Rib cap!

Everything I had was good.  It was Kip's birthday, so there was a little dessert celebration:

Happy birthday, Kip!

I noticed quite a few children running around and was wondering about that, since the hotel is 21+.  I looked it up, and Barry had it in his agreement that families with children would be allowed in his restaurant.  Apparently the party has to be escorted to the restaurant (and I imagine escorted off the property).

*I had to add something about our experience.  I had $150 in monthly comps to use at Circa/Golden Gate/The D, but when they took my card at Barry's, they said I didn't have any monthly comps available.  I told them that wasn't right, but they said they couldn't do anything about it, I needed to go to the slot desk to straighten it out.  We were going to use all of Kip and my comps, since Scott was going to be here for a few more days.

We went to the slot club and explained the situation, and the supervisor said she would look into it.  We weren't going to hang out there until she figured it out (she would have to go down and talk with the cashier at Barrys), so I gave her my cell phone number and she would call me when it was straightened out.

Kip, Scott, and I headed back to The D, and a while later, she called and said she got it fixed.  Scott and I gave our cards and she was able to take my comps and credit Scott's back.  It was a little inconvenient, but at least it was fixed.  She couldn't give us an explanation why Barry's couldn't see my comps.

I got a photo of Vegas Vickie before we headed out:

We redeemed our free play back at Golden Gate and tallied up.  We both had really good sessions, all of those straight flushes for me added up, and Kip had a small win on her play.  Add our bonus free play and monthly free play and we were up almost $500 each!
