    There used to be a site called Room77.com that had all the floorplans, but they moved them behind a pay wall a couple of years ago. Now it's just a matter of collecting little datapoints from TRs and such and adding them to the ball of string.

    I play about the same average amount per day everywhere. Cosmo is a little more generous than MLife and CET and the TI amount I think is a teaser. I stayed there one night last trip and didn't do as much coin-in as I planned, but I blew $800 on a slot on getaway day, which probably helped get a good offer.

    I'm so jealous of those with direct flights! Jet Blue to boot. Just the food options are wonderful. I'm taking 2 hops equaling 6 hours and get crap for food in first class, not enough time to really relax.

    Here's hoping your "win" with getting Mint is just the tip of the iceberg of the wins. I'm expecting fireworks inside as well as outside the casino. Don't let us down.

    Pro-tip: My wife found a palm-sized, handheld vacuum called, of all things, “The Crumbie.” With three kids, it is a lifesaver. So, whether it is coke dust, cookie crumbs or any other type of sand-sized morsel, it’ll make Hasselhoffing a breeze!;)

    Flight touched down at 8:15am. I can still handle the flight home on Southwest with a nice hop at MDW to grab something to eat, but I think I'm getting addicted to Mint on the way out if it's only gonna be $140 more. Between the quiet and the space, at $498 it's really a deal.

    This is why I like flying on Saturdays and holidays and early:

    Chef's not here man:
    IMG_0109-Chefs Not Here Man.JPG

    Got to TI at 9:15am, I had VIP check in via the offer and asked for Early Check-in via a host who got assigned to me. Don't know yet if I'll get charged the early fee. It's a similar setup to CET's Diamond check in. Very nice.

    I had a room reserved on the top floor but Strip view vs. not was up in the air. I'm condensing, agent said it might be an hour or so to get a regular room or longer to get a Strip view. I said let's hold out for the strip view. So now I got some time to kill, but I know it's a dead day and shouldn't be long.

    Hit the cage and got a slot voucher for $2,000.

    Went to the player's club to activate my freeplay and she said it's loaded on your card, but you shouldn't start using it until you are officially checked in, trust me. So I said I trust your advice and she gave me a comp to the buffet because I was dressed nicely.
    4, 5, 6 c'mon and get your kicks
    Now you don't need that money
    When you look like that, do you honey


    Hit the main bar, had a $20 Bacardi & Coke on 7/5 JoB. Moved to a Double Diamond machine. Consolidated a few ashtrays and did one spin.

    and the phone rang, strip view room was ready. Got my shit loaded in and headed to Rhode-Island based CVS. Never trust guys from Rhode Island, you think you have a good thing going and the next thing you know you wind up in Charlotte and I don't mean a girl named Charlotte.

    Didn't get out of CVS until 10:45am, 15 mins behind my prediction.

    Unpacking somewhat and heading down. Gonna use my freeplay on on that same Double Diamond machine and then gonna take the conversion $ and hit Tabasco and craps if it's at $5. Some room pics:

    I will give you a pro-tip and this comes from a place of love.

    If the maid in the next room or your wife is beating the shit out of a perfectly good vacuum cleaner, it's because they don't want to do it anymore. Their depth perception didn't go bad all of a sudden.

    That view was worth waiting for. I also find you get better service when you are well dressed. Good start.

    Since it hasn't been confirmed that I'll get an EP credit, I do not know how my request to give the subtitle will be answered.

    "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the .... Anti-Psychotic Medications"

    (apropos of nothing, it has not escaped my attention that my likeness hangs near mid-afternoon in the western sky, while there's a sun-like glow bathing the picture from the East. You can't trick me with those multiple suns since I started taking the new prescription)
