    My Trip Report

    Fortnight actually.

    This trip is a little weird. I'm skipping Cosmo this time because of the renovations they did to the Terrace Suite, and substituting the Masquerade Suite at Rio. I haven't stayed at Rio in 7 years.

    So it's Bellagio 3 nights, Rio 4 nights and then PH for 7 nights.

    Bellagio: I have a Tower King Fountain View reserved at Bellagio and paid for "Guaranteed Early Check In" which is supposed to mean 11:00am. I'm landing at 9:00am so I'm gonna just try to check in as soon as I get there, but I'll wait for that room if I have to and just ask them to refund the fee if it's not ready. $75 FP and $50 RC.

    Rio: Paying $546 + taxes for the 4 nights in Masquerade Suite and hoping to get half or so comped back-end. I rebooked this 4 times because the price kept dropping.

    PH: just a normal 2nd-half-of-trip degen stay at PH in a Resort Room, paying $120 - $196 for the first two nights, then on a comp offer for the last 5 nights. Prices really ended up spiking for this week, so I'm happy with this booking. $100 FP and $50 RC.

    Because of the 11 nights at CET, I'll probably re-up Diamond on this trip. In fact, I'm planning on trying an experiment where I do back to back 2,500 TC days, the last day at Rio and the first day at PH, and see how the CET availability calendar is affected.

    Only pre-plans are Matt Bridger's slot pull at Cosmo on arrival night and Lady Gaga the following Sat night.

    Flying JetBlue Mint both ways this time.

    I always say this but I'll try to take more pics. And maybe do less drunk free-associating. Or more.

    French toast stuffed with nutella and banana, hash browns w/egg and some fruit. The item at the top is a croissant stuffed with a couple of chocolate rods, I don't eat it, it's too intense, it is like getting mugged by a couple of chocolate rods.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the 'googoo' portion of this trip.

    Please let us know about the Legionnaires disease over at the RIO and what it's symptoms are. Does your nose bleed? Do your lungs explode? Does any blood stream from your eyeballs? Boils on the elbows?

    Have a wonderful trip and give those pilots a break. Customers questioning their flight paths are why they drink excessively in the cockpit (which I'm fine with).

    Be good.

    Two weeks in Vegas -- I think two week trips to Vegas are the BEST!!!!!!! -- and flying MINT roundtrip. Your trip is a FANTASTIC one already. Seriously. :love::love::love::love::love:

    Will be following along every step of the way. I just got introduced to Matt's vlogs and he amazing so that's very cool that you will be doing the slot pull together. I'm actually not a huge Gaga fan but I heard her show was great.

    Wishing you many good times and jackpots throughout. :thumbsup:

    Good luck!! Have a great trip! As long as the weather doesn't screw me up, I will be across the street from you tomorrow! Sad that I'll be a day late for Matt Bridger's meet.

    We just bounced all the way across Illinois and Missouri. I'm not sure what the story with Rio is, but there will be goo.
