    My Trip Report

    Tomorrow starts another forced march to Vegas. For some reason my wife insists I go to Vegas every two months. I push back against the trips but she always wins. I secretly think she likes it when I’m away. Happy wife happy life I guess.

    So what to do this time besides the normal drinking, eating and gambling. Oh, The Eagles are at The Sphere and tickets only cost one child’s college fund! I’m in. Very much looking forward to seeing them and Sphere. I saw them almost exactly 5 years ago at MGM. Probably my last chance so can’t miss out.

    Otherwise same old same old. Leave BOS at 7:00. Arrive LAS about 11:15 flying through DEN. Maybe an early arrival. Staying at The D the entire trip since Plaza cut my offers to nothing. Host was no help. Still plan to chase a royal at Sand Dollar for the LVA coupon. Plan to film at The D, Plaza, GG, Circa, ElCo and Palms. If I’m motivated enough and not too broke I may livestream everyday as well. Have a work meeting for a few hours Tuesday morning so can’t get too drunk Monday night, or can I?

    All packed and ready to go. 3:00am wake up alarm might hurt but I sleep on the plane I guess.

    Only one child’s college fund, you say? Sounds very reasonable.

    Made it to BOS after being pushed out the door by my wife while screaming

    Me: “I don’t want to go. Why do you hate me so much”.
    Wife: quit crying and go you big baby. Tiny violin for you whining

    Made it from my bed in NH to my bed at The D Las Vegas in under 12 hrs. Not too bad. Time to clean up then hit some jackpots. Maybe some lunch though. I am feeling a bit hungry
