Vegas about to be...

...one doofus heavier.

1 last day of work tomorrow then it's off to Vegas early Friday morning. REAL early. I've got to be out at the owl bus stop at 3:30. AM. Yeah. Maybe I should have paid a few bucks more for a later morning flight? That's a 2:45a wake up call. Yikes. Gets me to the airport too damn early but there's no other way to get there that early outside of a $40 cab ride. Oh well. Try to stay up late tonight and be tired as fuck coming home tomorrow and hit the rack right away. It'll help that I have to wake up at 5:45a tomorrow morning to check into my flight, and need to hit the bank before work so early to rise. Maybe go in at 9a instead of 10a. 

I know, my goofy logistics are why all .5 of you read this blog (I thank half of you!).

Temps will be mild for this time of year. High 70's for the 3 full days I'm there. High 50's for lows. I'm actually going to take a couple sweaters which I didn't think I would need. Cool. I look good in sweaters.

All else is GTG. Sticking with the "just have fun" mantra on this one. Not putting any pressure on myself to have a "Vegas" experience. If I was staying here in SF I would likely just hit bars over this weekend and basically hang out, so that's the plan there. Eat well, drink well, chase tail, gamble poorly, and either dodge or engage hookers based on how all of the above is going.

So, here we go again. Impromptu Vegas trip #2 of 2015 nearly underway. Next post will be a post mortem.

Wish me luck, bitches.

This is going to be a baller-ass vacation. Private planes, 1100 sq ft suites in a 5-star resort, steaks and high-end sashimi. We be living  good  on the 55th birthday trip. It all starts with flying semi-private on JSX in and out. Flown with them a couple times before, SO much less hassle than dealing with the fucking major airports. Private terminal, no TSA, no bag worries, big cushy seats, free drinks. Hopping on in OAK and will just UBER it to and from. So much more evolved than being basically violated by TSA in the normal airports.  Then on arrival in LAS it's in the taxi and over to Resorts World. I have added early check-in to standby, so hopefully I can just roll straight up to the room at 1:30p. It's the One Bedroom Suite at the Conrad, 1100 sq ft of lovely at the north end of the strip. No resort hopping this time, one room, one unpack, one relax.  Trying to think back, pretty sure this will be the biggest room I've ever had in Vegas, I think Encore or Dela...

A decent haul, y'all. -6 nights at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. $412 all in. Would be $1409 all in with the best website rate. Saved $997 over rack rate. -$30 Freeplay and $50 Resort Credit included in the deal. $80 value. -Roughly $160 in Freeplay from MGM by the time I get to town, $160 value. Total overhead saved = $1237. Not nearly an all timer but not bad for a holiday week trip. Would have been $700 more had I stayed at Fontainebleau as originally planned so a bit of frugality after the baller April trip.  1 month.

Got a nice little Resort Credit bump today, from an old job.  While I was with Kit/Ro in late '22 to early '23 I racked up some Marriot points while I was flirting with the move to Phoenix. Now that Marriot and MGM are bumping uglies, I was able to convert those (otherwise useless) points into MGM Rewards points. It turned into about $190 in credit, which, thanks old job! That means with what I already had earned, I will have over $230 available for the Xmas trip. Hello, Xmas dinner on Marriot, and one other dinner too. That's on top of the $50 I will have from the Aria booking package, and the potential $100 RC bump from getting to Gold on the trip, if I do. 3 nice meals (at least) inbound. We eatin'  good  for Xmas, y'all. The Xmas-freebies post coming up this year will be tidy.
