*Live* 3/28-3/31 Two young college kids enjoying spring break at Vdara and more

Over rated

 

Not much luck....

 

First time checking out the Rio, pretty meh

 

The Rio is mostly good for Penn and Teller

 

Last stop before our flight

 

And the airport

 

Sitting in the airport now. Not gonna gamble. It was fun guys. Not sure when we'll be back but sooner rather than later.

Some final thoughts:

Vdara is outstanding. Easily a new favorite for both of us.

North strip, Westgate, circus circus, SLS, is not worth the time.

This is our first trip not visiting downtown. We still managed ok with our budget.

Two big meals instead of three regular ones is more affordable.

Our favorite day was the day we spent time just around city center and Bellagio.



Lastly, C is down $100 after a $300 budget

I'm up about $150 after a $400 budget.

 

My wife would say we are each up $25!

 

I stayed at the Vdara once before and loved it. Would stay there more if they had any comps tied to it besides the tier discounts.

 

EXCELLENT trip report! Congrats on the overall win on the small budget.

 

Fun report. Great pictures! I'm looking forward to your next one.

 

Rio used to be a great place - it's a shame how far it's fallen

 

A great trip report, great food, great pics AND combined you both went home winners. So jealous!

 

Not quite at the point where we share money... Lol

 

But think of the points you would get if you covered her losses. Also if you did get married, she might even let you go on some solo trips.

 

This is what we do on all our gambling trips. Found out it leaves a lot more room for beer (or whatever ones favorite drink is).

Well done report, thanks for sharing.

 

Gr8 live TR, safe trip home!

 

Fantastic report and pictures. And I agree, 2 nice meals is the way to go per day!!

 

Thanks for the awesome report and all the great pics! Enjoyed it very much!!

 

And the final total:

I spent $1,086.59 and after my take home cash I'm under budget with a total spent of $936.59

C spent $600 with a budget of $500
