I was home alone to take care of the pets. This gave me plenty of time to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They left on a Wednesday. I hit a royal flush the night before at Plaza when playing with Kristina. I figured I would try to parlay my luck at the same place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started at quarter Joker Poker. I played for hours, breaking even. I had the $100 I started with and wanted to try my luck before I left. I decided on the replica of the old Las Vegas Club Catch the Heat reels. I caught a nice win nearly off the bat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few spins later, this happened:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2647-1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/vegasadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20210325_010452.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vegasadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20210325_010452.mp4\">https:\/\/vegasadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20210325_010452.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>That was the second time it happened to me on the new machines. I caught it once on the original machines. It is a bit different, and only paid $1,000 as opposed to $2,500.

Neither went well, but it was not a problem. I had fun and it was a small part of the previous sessions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I took Uber downtown from my Summerlin house. It took about an hour to get a car. I left Plaza around 2am. Rideshare was overwhelmed. There were no cabs at Plaza and dozens of people waiting. I went to Golden Nugget and waited behind two parties. No cabs came after 20 minutes. I walked over to the cab stand at California. I was first in line. After about 15 minutes, I got picked up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stayed home Saturday. On Sunday, I hit Santa Fe Station. I played Dream Card and Big Split Poker.
