    The only thing I dislike about a @Flowers trip report is when it ends. Enjoy your last hours and win big!!! ❤️

    Wow you got your money back before you even realized it was gone, saving you the freak out when you went nutso trying to remember where you put it. I hope the guy who turned it in wins a million dollars. Hell, I hope you do too. And me, why not me as well.

    Give Karma, get Karma, that experience sounds like almost the most major win of the trip.

    I hope you see him hitting a fat one on the way out.
    If I was that guy, I would also feel like a winner, no matter how the gambling played out.

    And here I thought was playing the right strategy! Thanks for the correction and the info. Very helpful.

    It is midnight and am now just starting to pack. Breakfast at 8 am at Jardin, returning the rental car at 9 and departing for the airport at 10:15 am. Yikes!

    Time to get some coffee and get packin' and postin' with some pics. :thumbsup:

    You are truly a wonderful human being! I'm sure you don't realize the impact you have on the casino employees you encounter. I know people who treat service workers as if they were slaves instead of human beings. You not only treat them with the humanity they deserve but you add a generous tip to that. Maybe you aren't a human being at all -- maybe you are an angel straight from heaven!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning Las Vegas, just before sunrise!

    I dozed off pretty quickly last night without packing much, slept until about 5:45 am and hope to be all finished and showered by 7:30 am.

    Running behind packing so this is breakfast rather than Jardin.

    So sad to see your epic trip ending @Flowers but glad you took us along for the ride. Safe travels home and counting the days until there’s another Flowers trip report!
     
    Happy birthday to me!

    All packed up.

    20210110_092834.jpg

    I know. I am never packing this much again though it includes my new luggage (which I needed to haul things back so that gift timing was good), Christmas gifts from when I was in Western New York with family. Heading back to NYC after being gone almost a month.

    And yeah, I am taking the new Rimowa piece on the plane but need to check 3 pieces. I get 2 free but that third is gonna cost me $150. Many lessons here!!

    Just dropped off rental car at Westin and doing my final walk back to Wynncore in January 2021!
