My Take on it – MM3
My Take on it – MM3
My MM trip started a lot later on then a lot of the other attendees.
Didn’t arrive till midnight on Friday.
Good to see some of the folks I met during MM2 and some new people as well.
I’m glad I was talked into the poker tourney, it was fun, although it was a $50.00 lesson. Not a biggie. That was about all the time I spent with the gang from around here. Having BIL (brother-in-law) along, I had to give priority to him, and some of the things that he wanted to do and see as it was a long time between trips for him. 1993 was his last visit. My BIL seemed to enjoy his time in Vegas as well, and with him along I didn’t really hook up with anyone after the poker tourney except doc_al one day for some beers and a dinner at the MC Brew Pub.
Thanks Al for picking up the tab.
Didn’t have any luck this trip, and it seems the town is tightening up, at least slot wise, I didn’t play any table games except for an hour of roulette that I broke even on, BIL and I seemed to do a lot of walking, both DT and the Strip and just playing the slots.
Did a walk thru Wynn, and some of the other higher end places, spent a morning lounging at the Monte Carlo spa while BIL was looking for souvenirs for the family. He never really found anything he liked, he said it was all cheesy.
I found a few nice shirts though for myself.
After reading some of the other TR’s you guys really know how to live it up. I guess with me traveling w/ a non-T2Ver, I just didn’t get in on any of the party action. I have also found that as I age my tolerance levels are dropping, so partying hard isn't high priority. I can do fine enough with the "freebies" offered when playing slots from the cocktail waitresses. :wink
Also without owning a cell phone, it's hard to keep abreast of the events that are going on or that are in the works. I am probably the only person in LV without a cell phone. I’ve just never had the need around where I live. We had one a while back and never used it…..
The red-eye out flight of Vegas is not a good idea. Having to check out at 11 am, check your bags at the bell desk and then just wander all day till midnight before the flight blows. I’d never do that again. Feels weird being there without a base (room) just to go to watch TV in or something.
Look at the new signature I have. I’m thinking’ it’s time to give LV a rest.
I've said that before, but this trip it just wore thin on me - fast.
The enthusiasm was there when I got in but it waned quick. Maybe I've just been too many times.
Even my BIL who hasn’t been since 93 was tired of it all after 3 days. Four days is plenty he said.
See Ya.
Viva Las Vegas all.
