Sometimes I get lucky!!!

I was in Las Vegas over the July 4th week. I was there for five nights. So had to make sure I kept to my budget. Would not be fun in Las Vegas without any money! I did most of play this time between the Bellagio and Caesars Palace. Also did some at the Mirage, Flamingo, Planet Hollywood, MGM and the Venetian. I did not go to the Wynn. Like the casino, very nice. But I have never had a winning session there.

This trip I was concentrating on the MGM and Harrah's properties. Trying to work on my comps totals. Nice to keep receiving the free room offers and food discounts. So far I keep receiving the better offers from the Harrah's hotels. I stayed at Bally's five nights July 4th week, all five nights were comped. MGM is only offering me some rooms discounts. Not enough to make me give up the free rooms.

But I also like the Venetian. Very nice casino, good restaurants, luxury rooms. Only stayed there once a couple years ago. I seem to have some good luck in the Venetian casino, sometimes!! So I walked down there to give their slots another try. I did have some good luck. I played a few different slots and was up a few hundred dollars. Making up for my losses the night before at Bellagio.

I was ready to leave the Venetian and move on to another casino. But I still had $21 on a voucher. So I decided to walk around and find a good penny or nickel machine to play. I walked down to where they have a bank of "Wheel of Fortune" machines and a couple rows of penny machines. I did not see any that I liked to play. Then I turned around and saw a "Super Jackpot Party" machine. I have had some good luck on those machines. So I put my $21 voucher in and was ready to play. Then I noticed, this was not a penny machine, it was a dollar machine! Oh well, I decided to play anyway. I tried five lines, a dollar a line, nothing. Then i tried five lines at two dollars a line. Ding! Ding! Ding! Hey, a winner!!! I look down and I have two blue sevens and a wild symbol. A nice payout of $600. 00 . This time I cashed out and did walk away!! Not a bad little mistake on my part!!
