    Oh most important thing to those of you that followed my last report: PILLOWS! Pillow quality!

    It wasn’t until my May trip this year that I started giving a damn about pillows. Some places the pillows are to squishy, sometimes too firm and I wake up with my neck all wacky.

    WELL! Luxor’s pillows are.... I have options, 2 on each bed, 1 squishy pillow 1 firm. Still not my fav and my neck is kind of “meh”. I swapped the squishy one up front in the middle of the night and it’s still, meh. So far the Mirage and Park MGM have my favorite pillows. :D

    It’s NASCAR weekend with all three series racing this weekend which is why the crowds. Yesterday the had the cars on the strip doing burnouts. Enjoy the concert and looking forward to following along.

    Thanks for the heads up @Kobra2848 - I knew I read something about cars on the Strip on Facebook or some shit.

    Okay friends, PRO TIP if you like Starbucks. Luxor has 2 Starbucks on the main floor that’s always packed. Super long line. Nice gal at a jewelry place encouraged me to go upstairs for coffee. At first I was like, “Diablos and that rice place?!? Nothings open!” - I regret doubting her. I get to this little Starbucks and there’s only 3 people ahead of me! Just like in real life!

    I also saved $2 by getting coffee at Johnny Rockets - personally I think it tastes better.

    Good luck and I love your TR's. The one with Sonya was very good and a fun read along. I also love all the F-bombs and the fact that you are an Iron Maiden fan. Awesome.

    Have a blast!! I get in tonight. Staying at Park MGM solo. I do like my solo trips but always fun to go with friends too. I get a little intimidated sometimes. Going to hit Cosmo and the Chandelier bar if interested we could meet for a drink. (I’m a normal 40s something gal) lol

    That would be fun @Jkluvvegas - I’m early 30’s (but look 13 so there’s that)! I know Eataly also has happy hours - I’ll have to recheck times, but that could be good too!

    PM me once you get settled and I’ll let you know where I’m at! I might use my Diamond dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s Steakhouse around 4:30p but want to make it a quick meal.

    (I love this shirt because it combines some of my favorite things - Vegas, Maiden and beer! Brilliant design for a band shirt too)

    Aww @ardee Nefertiti is a great name! There used to be the sweetest cat at a shelter I volunteered at named Nef - she was a small silver Tonkinese . I uprooted pics from...8 years ago! She was such a sweetie.

    As one of those people who knows you, was there even a moment of question you had no choice but to buy that? :haha: And I think Cleo is a perfect name.

    Have a great trip! Kittyboo will be fine for a couple days without you because absence makes the heart grow fonder. At least that's how it works with my Frankie. He hates me, until I've been gone for a few days and then he's feline velcro. :)

    Tongue kiss Kevin for me, and steal as many High Limit Room Cookies as your pockets can contain. I miss you, girl!!

    Sounds like a great trip so far! Glad you are feeling better!

    I'm also very pillow picky. I even bring my only small travel pillow!

    Ha! Same thing happened to us pre- Strangelove, saw all the depeche mode people in their gear and black eyeliner, nice to find the tribe!

    Have a great time! I’m dying to go back now!!

    Enjoy the concert. We saw them back in 2013 with Megadeth and it was awesome. The wife still says it was one of the best concerts she has attended.

    I checked out of Luxor an hour ago and am trying to leave, but I keep getting these tornado warnings.

    So I came on this trip with $100 to spend and didn’t intend to gamble. That $1,000 win was fucking insane.

    I pocketed $860 of that, and have another $60 or so to use later if I want.

    Now after playing more (up and down then when I lost that first $100 of my winnings, it’s time to go).

    Headed to Excal to walk somewhere to get my tickets for tonighttttt! Then Rio to check in.
