WE STAYED AT LUXOR IN COMPED SPA SUITE FOR 1ST 2 DAYS.ROOM WAS CLEAN AND NEAT AS ALWAYS.STAFF WAS FREINDLY AND OVERALL LUXOR IS STILL ONE OF THE NICEST PLACES TO STAY INEXPENSIVELY IN VEGAS.WE WERE GIVEN EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE ALL THE TIME WE WERE THERE.ROOM WASN'T READY (OBVIOUSLY) SO WE CHECKED OUR BAGS AND DECIDED TO PLAY A LITTLE.WE ARE EXTREMELY LOW ROLLERS SO THIS WAS RISKY TO START THIS EARLY FOR US.WE PLAYED SLOWLY AND DIDN'T HAVE MUCH LUCK EARLY,SO WE DECIDED TO GO EAT AND WE WOULD GET SETTLED IN OUR ROOM LATER, AFTER WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A NICE SUPRISE WITH THE FOOD,(IT WAS WAY BETTER THAN OUR LAST TRIP) WE WENT TO CHECK IN,OUR ROOM WAS READY AND MY WIFE GOT HER WISH,SHE LIKES TO BE AS HIGH UP AS POSSIBLE.WE WERE JUST 1 FLOOR FROM THE TOP OF PYRAMID IN A NICE SPA SUITE.AFTER GETTING SETUP IN OUR ROOM WE PLAYED (VERY SLOWLY) SOME 1 CENT AND NICKEL MACHINES,NOT HAVING ANY LUCK.I FOUND A 2 CENT MACHINE WHERE THE REELS KIND OF CASCADE DOWN AND IT WAS THEMED WESTERN.I DON'T LIKE THE LOWER DENOMINATION SLOTS BUT PLAYED ANYWAY.I PUTIN A 10 AND HIT THE MAX LINE X 2 BUTTON=== NOTHING!I HIT IT AGAIN=== NOTHING!I LOOKED AT MY WIFE AND SAID THAT WE WERE WASTING OUR TIME AND WE SHOULD GET OFF OF THE STRIP IF WE WERE TO CONTINUE SLOT PLAY.SHE TOLD ME TO HUSH AND TRY TO EBJOY WHAT LITTLE VACATION TIME I GET!I HIT THE MAX LINES BUTTON X 3 AND THE MACHINE WENT CRAZY GIVING ME 15150 CREDITS!THAT WAS OVER $300 SO I IMMEDIATELY CASHED OUT!THIS WAS THE START OF MY RUN.I HIT THREE MACHINES THE REST OF THAT DAY FOR $300 $200 AND $400 RESPECTIVELY!UNFORTUNATLY I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS HITTING FOR A LONG TIME.THEN THE WIFE STARTED HITTING AND WE CALLED IT A NIGHT ABOUT 300 DOWN SO, FAR!

2ND DAY

WE GOT UP AND ENJOYED THE JACUZZI IN OUR ROOM! IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED ONE OF THESE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING! THEY ARE A TRUE RELAXER!WE WENT TO THE CASINO AND STARTED SLOW AND I TOLD AMANDA THAT WE SHOULD TRY LARGER DEN. FOR SLOTS SO THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY BUILD UP SOME MONEY TO PLAY ON! SO. WE TRIED SOME 25 CENT,50 CENT, AND DOLLAR MACHINES AT LUXOR TO NO AVAIL!WE WERE NOW DOWN ABOUT $500 AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO CUT THING TOO CLOSE SO WE WENT BACK TO PENNIES,THE OCCASIONAL NICKEL AND :LOW AND BEHOLD: SHE STARTED HITTING!SHE HIT TWICE FOR $200 WITHIN JUST A FEW SECONDS OF EACH OTHER.WE WANTED TO ENJOY TYHE ROOM SOME MORE SO WE TOOK A AFTERNOON BREAK AND WENT TO ROOM TO RELAX,TAKE A NAP.WHATEVER,WE WANTED TO GO DOWNTOWN AFTER DARK TO SEE THE LIGHTS,WE GOT UP AROUND 7 PM TOOK A TAXI TO FOUR QUEENS GOTPLAYER'S CLUB CARDS AND STARTED PLAYING.MY ADVICE, DON'T GO DOWNTOWN ON SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN THE BIKEFEST IS IN TOWN!!!! WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS AND THIS IS NOT OUR SCENE!ALL WERE GOOD PEOPLE,JUST WAY TOO CROWDED FOR OUR LIFESTYLE.THAT'S WHY WE GO WHEN WE GO,SLOWER TIMES.ANYWAY WE TRIED SERVERAL MACHINE AT THE 4 QUEENSM=== NOTHING!BINION'S===NOTHING.GOLDEN NUGGET===NOTHING!!! TOOK CAB BACK TO LUXOR FOR NIGHT! AMANDA HITS $300 IN THE FIRST MACHINE SHE SEES. I STILL COULD DO NOTHING!AT THIS POINT WE'RE DOWN ALMOST $1000 AND NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH OUR LUCK!WE GO TO OUR ROOM AND SLEEP!

DAY 3


WOKE UP ON DALLAS TIME 6;00 A,M,
WE WENT TO BREAKFAST AND THEN TO CHECKOUT OF THE LUXOR.THEY HAVE ALWAYS TREATED US GREAT THERE!WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.GOT BAGS AND THOUGHT WE WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF WIFE HAD FREE PLAY WITH OFFER WHICH SHE DID!!THEY GAVE US $150 OF FREE PLAY AND SHE PLAYED IT ON DOLLARS AND WON %500 WHICH,AT THIS POINT , IS A GOLD MINE TO US.WE THEN PLAYED SOME MORE AT LUXOR UNTIL ABOUT 11 A.M. WHEN WE WENT TO MGM TO CHECK-IN.WE GOT CHECKED IN AT MGM.WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A SISTER PROPERTY TO LUXOR BUT EBJOY THIS JUST AS WELL! IT IS BIG!!!!!!! WE WENT TO ROOM AND IT WAS ON THE 28TH FLOOR SO WIFE WAS IN HEAVEN!!GREAT ROOM.WIFE HAPPY,FREE STAY--- WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT? WINNING? HERE? NOT TODAY!! WE PLAYED 1 CENT,5 CENT,2 CENT,25 CENT,50 CENT.$1,HECK I EVEN TRIED 1 PULL ON A $2 MACHINE! MISSED IT BY TTHHAATT MUCH! HA.HA, WE GOT SO BAD WE EVEN HAD TO HIT THE ATM FOR SOME RATHOLE MONEY THAT WE LEFT BEHIND!! THEN MY WIFE WANTED TO GO OVER TO NYNY FOR SOME MORE CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT TO NY BACK POCKET! WE GOT TO NYNY AND THINGS WERE A LITTLE BETTER.SHE HIT $200 TWICE AND I HIT $125 ONCE.WE WERE STILL PLAYING VERY TENATIVELY AS WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO ANY MORE ATM SITUATIONS! WE FINISHED OUT THE DAY DOWN ABOUT $700 WENT TO MGM AND CRASHED FOR THE NIGHT.

DAY 4


THIS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE OUR BEST DAY IN VEGAS.WE STARTED AT THE MGM WHERE MY WIFE WALKED UP TO A NICKEL MACHINE AND CASHED OUT $300 1ST THING IN THE A.M.!! I THOUGHT "OK,HERE WE GO!!!"NOT SO FAST! I PLAYED $1 ALL MORNING AND COULD'T HIT ANYTHING WHICH DRAINED HER $300 QUICKLY!WE LEFT THE MGM TO GO TO PARIS WHERE SHE HAD TICKETS TO GO UP IN THE TOWER.SHE LIKES HEIGHTS,I DON'T!THE ATTENDANT TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD BE LUCKY THE REST OF THE DAY!SO,WE PLAYED AT THE PARIS AND QUICKLY DROPPED ANOTHER $300 WHICH WAS STARTING TO HURT ALOT. AMANDA THEN WANTS TO GO TO BALLY'S TO PLAY AND I TELL HER WE HAVE TO GO SLOW SO THAT OUR MONEY WILL LAST WITHOUT GOING TO ATM!SHE WALKS AROUND FULLY EVERY CASINO THAT WE GO INTO TO CHECKOUT THE MACHINES AND TO DECIDE WHAT TO PLAY!I THINK IT IS STUPID SO I JUST SIT DOWN AT THE MACHINE I LIKE AND PLAY. SHE SAYS THAT SHE IS GOING TO PLAY A 1/2 CENT MACHINE!THAT'S RIGHT,A 1/2 CENT MACHINE! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY MADE THEM. I TOKD HER NOT TO WASTE HER $%#^% TIME THAT SHECOULDN'T POSSIBLY COLLECT ENOUGH CREDITS TO DO US ANY GOOD! AT THIS POINT WE'RE DOWN LIKE $1500 !! WELL, AS USUAL , MY OPINION DOESN'T MATTER AND WE'RE BOTH A LITTLE CRABBY BY THIS POINT SO I GO DOWN THE WAY A LITTLE BIT TO TRY MY LUCK IN A $1 MACHINE! $40==== NOTHING! I WALK BACK OVER TO WHERE MY WIFE IS PLAYING AND SHE HAS THAT SLY,WITTY GRIN ON HER FACE THAT TELLS ME SHE'S RIGHT,I'M WRONG AGAIN!!!! I HADN'T LOOKED AT THIS MACHINE BEFORE I LEFT AND IT WAS THIS 2X,3X,5X,10X,DOUBLE BONUS SOME KIND OF CRAP AND SHE HAD JUST HIT 92517 CREDITS! THAT'S OVER 450.00 TO YOU AND ME. BOY DO I FEEL STUPID NOW OR WHAT? BUT WAIT; IT GETS BETTER? SHE CASHES OUT OVER $500 GIVES ME 200,KEEPS 200, PUTS 1 BACK IN PURSE.I TOLD HER AGAIN NOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME MONEY THAT WAS A FLUKE SO SWITCH TO A HIGHER DOLLAR AMOUNT! BIG MISTAKE!! SHE PLAYED SOME 25 CENT MACHINES,$1 MACHINES=== NOTHING! SHE THEN TELLS ME THAT SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF MY THOUGHTS AND SHE'S JUST HERE TO HAVE FUN ANYWAY SO SHE GOES BACK TO THE 1/2 CENT MACHINES!!

THE REST IS HISTORY! I GET BROKE SO I'M WATCHING HER ON THIS SILLY,USELESS,CRAPPY 1/2 CENT MACHINE WHEN SHE HITS THE BONUS ROUND WHERE EVERYTHING PAYS DOUBLE!ON THE 3RD SPIN SHE WINS 157000 + CREDITS!!!!!!!!!! WHICH BY THIS TIME I'M LOOKING FOR THE NEAREST ROCK TO HIDE UNDER!!SHE CASHES OUT JUST OVER 900 DOLLARS FROM A 1/2 CENT MACHINE!I'M HOME AND I STILL CAN'T FATHOM IT!ANYWAY THE REST OF THE DAY GOES I LOSE,SHE WINS!SHE WON BACK ENOUGH MONEY THE REST OF THE DAY SO THAT WE ARE ONLY DOWN 300 FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP!SHE TAKES ME OUT TO THE STUDIO CAFE IN MGM WHERE WE HAD MEAL FIT FOR A KING!!


AFTER THE MEAL I COULD TELL SHE WAS REALLY TIRED.WE HAD PLAYED ALL OVER,NYNY,BALLY'S PARIS,MGM,EXCALIBER,MONTE CARLO ETC. I TOOK HER UP AND PUT HER TO BED TOOK 200 DOWN TO THE CARD TABLES AND DID QUITE WELL.


I USUALLY PLAY SOME FORM OF 3-CARD POKER OR 3-CARD BONUS WHEN WE GO,BUT DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE THE MONEY TO ON THIS TRIP.THANKS AMANDA!!
I BOUGHT IN ON A 3-CARD BONUS TABLE WHERE EVERYONE ASSURED ME THEY WERE ALL DOWN.I WAS PLAYING AT THE MGM AND LIMIT WAS 10 DOLLAR BET.I PUT TEN DOLLS IN CHIPS ON ALL 4 SPOTS AND THE GUY NEXT TO ME SAYS THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE LONG BECAUSE THE BONUS IS A SUCKER BET.
THE 1 ST 2 HANDS HE WAS CORRECT.THE 3RD HAND I GOT 3-7"S THAT PAID 300 BONUS AND 90 REGULAR!!I LEFT THE TABLE WITH 725 DOLLARS IN CHIPS!!!!

THE LAST DAY

THE LAST DAY WE TRIED ALL OF OUR LUCKY MACHINES AGAIN BUT DIDN'T WIN.

PRO'S== TAKING HOME SOME MONEY.STAYING IN NICE PLACES(COMPED),NOT LOSING OUR SHIRT

CON"S=== TAKING SO LONG TO HIT ANYTHING,POPPING OFF ABOUT MACHINES,HAVING TO COME BACK TO WORK

OVERALL A GREAT TRIP!SPENT TOO MUCH ON LAST DAY,BUT IT WAS A GREAT VACATION!!THANKS TO MY WIFE AND LOVE AMANDA FOR PLANNING THIS TRIP!
ROBERT AND AMANDA FROM DALLAS



P.S. THE 5 DOLLAR STEAK,BREAKFAST,OR BURGER AT EXCALIBUR IS GREAT!!!
