    My Trip Report

    Weather forecast says two storms coming in. One tonight and on Sunday afternoon. We should be not traveling at those times.

    My 17 year old gets out of school a couple of hours earlier so we may be able to beat the traffic.

    I have already made my level at CET but have $650 in promo chips/free play (which will bring my total to $1300) so I'm gonna try to do a combination of light play/cash conversion to fund my trip in 2 1/2 weeks to Las Vegas.

    Gotta figure out how to keep my 17 year old occupied. I've loaded up the laptop with enough Steam games and got him a Switch cartridge. (His switch has too high an OS level for a flashcart . . . damn).

    Another "food experimentation trip" for my son. Might go to a couple of buffets. The suggestion will be "if you don't know whether you like it or not, take a small "tasting" portion. Yes, I was a "bad" single parent. Rather than "eat it or go hungry", I took the philosophy of "I don't have the time or patience to fight, just make him what he'll eat". But, he's getting a little better as he gets older.

    Gotta pick up the rental car at about 11AM today. I'm not driving my car in this weather, but will make sure my tire cables fit the tires of the rental.

    Wish me luck.

    I'm in. Let's do this. Made it there twice last year after about a 15ish year hiatus and that will not happen again. Love Tahoe!

    Take care and good luck Dailun

    Maybe your son might enjoy the complimentary movies as you are a Seven Stars. Don’t forget to pick up your two free lift tickets— assuming that is still a Seven Stars benefit

    Yeah, he will be advised about movies and I will take him downstairs to the arcade as I give him the "tour". I think I used my lift tickets for the year in January, but it may be "per season".

    Thanks.

    I picked up my complimentary lift tickets February 2018. If you do find out it is per season (as opposed to per calendar year) let us know.

    I believe it’s per total rewards year (2/1-1/31) so you can get two more lift tickets on 2/1 (assuming you are 7s again)
