    My Trip Report

    Well, call me an addict at this point, but only 2 months since my last trip to Vegas....I've book my next!! May (this month :D ) 24th-28th. At this point, air + hotel = $380. If you know how frugal I am, this might sound a little high. But it includes round trip non-stop airfare from Toledo with first class seating ! Thanks to the ACG, I got an MVP room at the LVC for an average of $27/nt. for the first two nights, and got the Gold Coast for $35/nt. for the last two nights. The GC price was due to their "best rate promise" where I found the best rate on travelaxe, called them up, and they matched it and threw in a 10% discount! Both reservations are directly through the hotel, so I can opt out if I find a better deal.

    So if you'll be in town during those dates (5/24-5/28)and want to share a low-limit blackjack table somewhere (or if you'd like to babysit a beginner at a craps table), let me know. My email is in my profile.

    P.S. I'll make sure to post a TR when I'm back, as the WSOP will be at Binions while I'm downtown, and I'm praying that I'll be able to get in to see some of the action!

    That a way, Rob. My next trip will be spur of the moment. No more than a 7 day count down. The pay off is good, but the wait is torture. Find a last minute airfare, and priceline a room.

    Rob, I will be arriving on the 28th. Please do not break all of the strip casinos before I get there. Have a great time and enjoy that First Class seating!

    Rob you are the "Frugal" king!
    Actually, my wife and I have a less Frugal trip planned for the 27th -30th! We have Free round trip flights from Albuquerque to Vegas and then stay at harrahs free for the 1st night. The next 2 nights cost an ave. of $89 for a holiday weekend!
    We plan on seeing for Friday: Clint Holmes free. Then for Saturday, Mac King free, Rick Thomas free, then a much more expensive Madonna! [​IMG]
    We plan on being at the RIO pool Friday from around 9-12. What time do you leave on Friday?
    Either way have a great trip and good luck! (as if you need the luck with your great $$$ management)!!!

    P.S., after the T-19, we have added a T-44!!! [​IMG]

    Neon,

    Unfortunately I'm leaving relatively early on Friday (leave hotel around 10am, flight at 12noon).

    We could either hook-up sometime Thursday night after your arrival, or I'd be happy to buy you and the wife breakfast on Friday before you hit the pool (pay back, since I'm convinced our free buffet in December was more your doing than mine!).

    As soon as I track down your address, I'll shoot you an email sometime soon.

    Rob
