    Don’t do that before boarding your flight.

    He'll no! I want to GET to Vegas! Only when the casino crowds get in my way would I use my technique.

    JPW711 is jealous. As I told my massage therapist this morning when he asked how my morning was going: "I'm supposed to be out cold in bed in Las Vegas now, not here"

    Now I don't work to often, only when I'm forced to by a tenent, but I had an apartment come vacant and the next day it was rented by a lady wanting it today. No way could I get new floors, paint, etc in three days and still make it to Vegas, so I decided to stay home and take the easy money. (Former tenent was there since 2007, and it was left in good shape, but thirteen year old carpet has to go)

    As far as dinner goes, he is right! I bought last time!

    Hope you win big Martin!

    #20 has officially underway. And 2020 is ushering it in. Headed for the timeshare area and discovered that I was locked out of both Uber and Lyft. Now, after trying to do what I could, my credit card seems to be the issue. One service shows that it is expired! How in the he'll would I have been earning all of those miles if I had an expired card? Bottom line, had to take a cab!!!#&%. Talk about pissed off! I'm sure the driver wondered why I was in such a bad mood upon just getting to Vegas.
    I'll resolve that for sure now that I'm in my room at CP. Augustus Tower with a view to the north rather than facing Bellagio, dammit! At least I don't have to wear a mask in the room!

    Just doing what his countdown timer says!

    However, with his older eyes, he might not see that I told him to go hit a few handys.

    I saw what you wrote. Are you trying to put a hex on me? You'll be the first to know if I do hit a handy, I promise!

    Neckbones in the middle of the desert?
    If they have them in Vegas, I'm sure your country ass would have found them by now! [emoji5]

    No handy in my first session. Just a warm up for later. See pics below.

    Quick observations: So far, strictly CP, 100% masks. No housekeeping daily service. Notices, signs everywhere as well as sanitzing stations but no signs of actual special cleaning anywhere in the casino or other public spaces. Temperature taken as you get in the check-in que.

    That heatwave pays better in Tunica! Nice hit on the hearts of dreams!

    Now go play the JPW way and hit that HL room!

    Hey, don't talk bad about that Heat Wave. That's the one that paid me 12000.00.
