    I know. Giving myself an hour doing a WFH lunch break to be brutal with the paring!!! We don't get free dry cleaning or laundry but we do get free pressing. But agree 100%. I'll hand launder a few things and then Wynn presses them or honestly I just get it laundered and it gets comped anyway. With traveling with my mom I pretty much have to check luggage plus I have a separate bag with electronics (my portable telescope, etc.) but I'm trying hard to break through a really bad habit. I just don't to have to track as much stuff and focus on just 10s and re-wearing them rather than some 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, the latter of which are nice but I never wind up wearing them anyway.

    Usually get a hotel at the airport the night before, so stay up all night watching whichever WSOP final table stream is on PokerGO.

    Definitely not all those shoes. I never take more than 2 pairs; one I am wearing and one additional pair.(and I LOVE shoes). Find something super-comfy in neutral colors that will go with all your outfits.

    my night before all trips involves packing. I make a mental list and start putting everything aside, but I don't actually pack until the night before because I worry about forgetting something important (mostly IDs/cards/keys; clothes and sundries can be bought wherever I am going). I usually stay up way too late and since I also worry about oversleeping, I don't tend to get much, whether I am leaving later in the day or first thing. Even tho most of my Vegas flights have been night flights after work, I do like to take early morning flights, since those planes are at the gates waiting to leave, plus then I get the entire day at my destination.

    Wait, WTF is pressing if it is not dry cleaning?! Do they just like iron your clothes? I have literally never heard of this, which surprises no one who has seen me dressed in my everyday outfits.

    Yeah, pretty much. They just press out the wrinkles your clothes may have developed in your travel bag

    Question for TiffyChick and Flowers. Are you packing for vacation or relocation? If I packed all that, I'd be too tired to go!

    I'm more likely to use the couple places I stay that will brush and shine my shoes for me after I unpack. Then again, since I am usually in sneakers, I guess I shouldn't get that excited for the service lol

    Finish packing. Make sure I have hard copies of all my flight/hotel/transportation information. Maybe watch a Vegas-related show or movie and have a drink or two. Relax.

    Dream about handpays and emotionally brace myself for the inevitable rejection.

    I can think of something my wife and I do that will put us right to sleep afterwards, but then I guess some may GO to Vegas to experience it? :stir::whistle:

    Since its usually an early flight, the game plan is to go to bed early and about 30 minutes before doing so take some zzzquil to ensure I fall asleep.

    Yes, dry cleaning could be removing stains, odors, etc., basically cleaning worn clothes. The pressing is for clean clothes, so that sharp suit, dress, skirt, blouse, etc. you want to wear, as UK said, getting out the wrinkles so you never a need to pull out an iron or a steamer.

    That definitely explains my ignorance. I am kind of a "never owned anything that needed to be dry cleaned / don't own any clothing that needs to be ironed" kind of gal.
