    My Trip Report

    Hello VMBs for those of you who have only been on VMB a few years, you may have no clue who I am and for those of you who aren’t new you may remember me from many of the @Gaggles or @BeeeJay trip reports in which my fat ass probably did something drunk and stupid. To then be photographed and end up on their trip reports.

    I have not been to Vegas since the Gaggles, JR nuptials which was 5 years ago in September! However when MB or @Mikeman on here called and said I wanna go to Vegas, stay on Fremont and you’re coming because it’s my 40th birthday, how could I argue that?!?!? I have lots of excuses for not going, as my kids get older, my folks bought a house in Cabo so go there A LOT, Covid and the poor dollar. I think we all know what @Gaggles would say to those excuses and that’s suck it macker!

    As the title alludes to we are staying on Fremont. We spoke to a host, which has Gaggles and MB at Circa, while I’m in a deluxe room at the Golden Gate. We may have some special guests as well. We’re pretty sure Big Sack is “surprising” us there and Bonzo decided just last night he should come too, so after wifey permission he has booked his flight and as he just text me he’s comped at GG or D just trying to decide where.

    Nothing concrete but some things that have been thrown around are Pizza Rock, mob museum speak easy, east Fremont and El Cortez, stadium swim/Circa Sportsbook etc. I would say the for sure things are Fremont on Friday, Strip Saturday and Football Sunday. As usual there will be copious amounts of VP, drinking and maybe some craps. We are all flying allegiant and get in Friday morning. Needless to say I’m very excited for my return to Mecca and hope you’re ready to follow allow. Between the 3 of us there should be an abundance of updates!

    @GreatCorbonzo , if you get a room at the GG and upgrade to a suite (only about $30/nt) it's a huge room and well appointed...also away from the Fremont noise. I highly recommend over a room at the D.
    I used to stay at the D because the rooms at GG are so small. Then, a couple of trips ago, I realized I had comps up the wazoo with One Club so booked a room at the GG and upgraded. I just kicked myself for not knowing all those trips ago that this was definitely the way to go. Great room, great deal.

    I simply refer to those as "routine decisions", when I am in Vegas.

    I would like to go on record that it is JR's birthday today and she was okay, though not overly enthused, with me going to Vegas for the weekend with these drunken trail donkeys. Had @vegasmacker not been to Vegas for over 5 years, I wouldn't have dared asking to go on the weekend of her birthday. Extra birthday presents for JR today.
