    My Trip Report

    Vegas time! Again! I just can't help myself. I figure I can work just as easily from a desk in Vegas as from my couch. So it's back to Sin City this evening for eleven nights. I'm bouncing around as usual to maximize comps - Golden Gate - AZ Charlie's - The D - Flamingo - Hyatt Place at Silverton (on points). I've got a car for the trip, so I'm hoping to hit up some new-to-me locals joints as well as my old favorites.

    Plans for the trip:
    • Video Poker Bars - My Precious! I've missed you!
    • Sports Watching
    • VP, VP, and more VP
    • Maybe a Little Slotting Around
    • Pink Drinks
    • ACG/LVA Couponing
    • Hopefully a Royal Flush

    There are a ton of VMBers in town. I have plans to meet up with a few folks already. I'm always up for grabbing a drink or bite - so if anyone is interested, PM me!

    I'll be doing my best to keep this updated throughout my trip, but no promises. Vegas happens. Expect: blurry pictures, unhealthy food, copious alcohol consumption, lots of 4OaK and near miss pictures, and general hijinks.

    Thanks for following along - I'm so ready to get this party started.

    Which Arizona Charlies? I've never stayed at either and I have stayed at just about every casino hotel there is.

    Following!! I'll be joining you out there this coming Sunday!! I think we're both in that tourney at the D. You mention VP and sports - two of my favorite things. Where you watching NFL Sunday?

    Following. If you don’t mind me asking @eliza - is the end of your trip open ended or is it based on your bankroll or my ability to get comps?

    AZ Decatur. I’ve never stayed there before, but I’ve given them a little play there and there before. They offered two nights and I’m trying to stay away from the downtown Saturday craziness.

    No clue! Haven’t planned that far out - but probably somewhere off-strip. Maybe Skyline. Maybe a Stations property. But almost certainly a VP bar somewhere.

    Sadly, not open ended. Need to get back home for some appointments I have scheduled. Plus after 11 days, I’ll be missing my niece something fierce - I usually see her most days and FaceTime just isn’t the same.

    I'll be watching for your review! I am going to be in Vegas on Halloween and the furthest-away-from-it-all comped room I could find was El Cortez. I wish I had dipped into Arizona Charlie's when I was around the corner using a Groupon last December.

    At the airport. Pizza and beer with my cousin. Priority pass is awesome! Cousin played bartender last night and I was feeling rough this morning. I don’t usually start a Vegas trip with a hangover.

    Enjoy your trip! I am going solo, too, but not for as long as you are. Are you planning on attending any of the (distanced) meet-ups?

    Have a great time! Love your reports and seeing the off strip places. I am planning on trying the cakebread wine you mentioned in your past Hugos visits. Win a lot of money!
     
    Ladies getaway, somewhere on the strip with a pool :)
