    My Trip Report

    Some clown bought a 7:15 AM ticket to Vegas for tomorrow morning. Same clown used his companion pass to bring along his wife. This clown would be me.

    Why subject yourself to the early AM torture?

    Cause super frenzy, aka $2k of Freeplay has to be activated by 9pm tomorrow and I didn't trust the later non-stop to be on time..

    AND

    a few people swear the first flights are never delayed. If that plane leaves one minute late, I'm gonna go all boomer on same people... Just to be clear, I'm not a boomer, but my wife fits the age bracket, and I'm not afraid to use her powers. (Not boomerish, just the knack of telling people to go pound sand nicely)

    Since I don't give a shit about my hair, I am getting up at 430, Ann is getting up at two.

    Put on a hat woman!

    Till then, I bid y'all goodnight

    You will love it! Your plane is only an hour out of Tulsa so it should be there before you go to sleep. Just don’t miss your alarm.

    Good luck & have a fantastic trip.:lock:

    I’ve taken a first flight of the day with SWA a few times now and I don’t think I’ve ever arrived on time…usually 10-15 minutes early. Looking forward to following along!

    Have a wonderful trip! Tell those slot machines who's boss; the MGM HL slot room should be ready to pay up.

    Just an FYI - Ann can go to the MGM hair salon for hair styling and then room charge it so your host can backend. Alternatively, you can use your MGM rewards points. I am thinking of trying that on my next trip.

    If you get up at 4:30 am, you won't make your flight in Tulsa at 7:15!

    As long as the plane is overnighting at the airport and not doing a red eye I 100% agree with this strategy
    Besides who sleeps the night before Vegas
    Hit them hard
