Kodidog’s Adventures

  GOLD COAST, Day 1 There was only a short line at the front desk when they entered the Gold Coast.  Kodi approached the clerk and handing her a confirmation, said " I hope you will be able to help me. I made this reservation in December, but I've developed mobility problems since then and they've become worse this past week.  Would there be any way you could possibly give me a handicapped room instead? "  The gal, who Kodi noticed was the Front Desk Supervisor replied " I appreciate you asking first, before being assigned another room. I do have a two bed handicapped room available that is ready." "Great! I assume since it's designated as handicapped that it is close to the elevators." " Um, no actually. It's right at the end of the hall." Kodi knew from past stays when she was spry, that Gold Coast corridors are verrry long. That would not work with her current problems. She supposed that room would work fine if someone had a sc

  HORSESHOE, Day 1 All packed up and ready to go on Sunday morning, Kodi headed for the Gold Card Checkout line. Since it was before required 'leaving time' at the hotel, the lobby wasn't busy.  Their friend Kiddo from Colorado had arrived in Vegas the previous day, and was picking them up in her rental car, and they were all going to have brunch together at MSS.  Since it was checkout day for the Kodis, she then planned to drop them off where their next bed was, afterwards.  They were staying at the Horseshoe ( Which Kodi still thought of as Ballys that night and much of the next day.  ) To get a comped room at their final hotel on the trip, there needed to be 7 days between Boyd properties.  Thus, a two night booking at the Horseshoe for the cost of the resort fee plus tax. Kodi also had a $50 free play component included, so with the Lucky Horseshoe brand, and her lucky bra coins, she was pretty excited to gamble there later that day. The Kodis stood outside where they T

  BELLAGIO, Day 1 The time had come to leave quiet downtown, and head 6 miles South to the middle of the Strip. Kodi and Tom finished packing while munching on the apple danish and blueberry muffin Tom had picked up in the corridor to MSS.  They finished the shivery cold oj, and Tom drank hot chocolate, and Kodi the last coffee before packing the Starfrit away. The muffin was large and a bit dry.  Kodi had asked Tom to get her 'extra' butter. The counter lady emphatically said. "No Butter!" so what was a fella to do..... She was feeling a little queasy again anyway, so just left part of her pastry uneaten. They checked their account on the TV, so knew what the balance should be , but Kodi chose to get a paper copy of the bill.  She mistakenly thought that check out time was 11 a.m. but at the Cal, unlike most other hotels, you have your room until Noon. No matter..there was lots to do that day, so they could use the extra time. Once again, Kodi's phone was taken o
