    My Trip Report

    Well, I’m finally at the point where I need a break. Where do I go when I need a break Las Vegas baby! Bags are packed, check in with Southwest in a couple hours and arrive at Vegas just after midnight Monday!! Red Rock sent me an amazing offer and is letting me use it with really only being there for less than 48 hours. Hopefully good food good wins and some good drinks. I will post as I go along.

    Normally, I would take a 5 or 6 am flight on Monday, which I never really slept the night before. When my hostess told me they could pick me up late, I figured why not sleep on the plane? So Sunday night late flight for me. My offer is $500 FP and $400 room comps. Usually end up buying the grandkids items with remaining comps. Looking forward to the New Mexican restaurant. Come on check in…then I will feel like I am on my way!!

    Can't wait to follow along! Red Rock is my favorite off-Strip casino and my wife and I almost always make a stop for some 10/6 DDB. I had a good run on our last trip in December. Hoping the same for you! :beer:
     
    40th Bday and first ever solo Vegas trip!

    Following. I haven't stayed there in a few years but always enjoyed my stays and even pop in visits to Red Rock and of course the close proximity to that gorgeous natural beauty. I forgot the name of it but I have really enjoyed meals I have had at the Italian restaurant there.


    Wishing you a great trip!

    I love Red Rock! The fact that I can go and catch a game across the street is amazing. But what I really don’t love about it is that my son and I put quite a bit of coin in through and just nothing back. That’s the breaks though, and I’ll still go back.

    Sitting here realizing I have eight hours before I need to leave for the airport. Making sure I have everything I need and that forget something from this trip. Time moves too slow when you are waiting. Normally I meet my friend for dinner, hopefully we will get together again. I’m going to do my best to post some wins, food and fun!!

    Is your offer based off of mostly/exclusively BP?

    I like Red Rock Station. Unfortunately, left evidence of smoking a joint in the room and got a $250 up charge on my bill, lol.

    I usually do a combo of VP and slots. I try to keep at the presidential level. Since the gambling in Illinois sucks I would rather save my money take 4-6 tone or 2 days trips with bigger budgets. This way I get a ride to and from the airport and everything else comped.

    OK bags packed one more med to give puppy and I’ll be ready to go unfortunately I have an hour and a half before I have to leave. My husband says I’ve been there so many times he can’t understand why I get so excited for each trip. Only if Vegas lover would know.!
