The Plan, 5/2016

Flight gets in around 12:30p, I booked a "shared" limo ride to Aria, so hopefully that's seamless and at $32 round trip (plus tip) it'll save me a little dosh. Drop my bag and stake out a spot in a bar (Alibi?) and hopefully have just a couple before being able to check in. Check in around 2p hopefully (doing mobile check in), head up, freshen up; doubtful I'll need a nap as it'll be a normal night's sleep the night before, no super early wake up call this time. Then down to the casino floor, hit a bar or 5, play a few slots, see what shakes out.

6p reservations at Carbone in Aria, gotta start using up the $150 in resort credit. Then after eating my night is open. Depending on the weather I may stick around Aria until it cools down a bit. The rest of the night - no plans at all. Giants game at 7p, so there's that. Undoubtedly will spend time at the always happening Cosmopolitan, and probably shuttle between there and Aria, drinking heavily and losing money on slots all along the way.

Day 2, Wake up, shower, head off to the south Strip to do food at Public House at Luxor and drinks at Times Square at NYNY, both myVegas rewards. Going to make most of a day of it down there as I want to head up to Skyfall again for happy hour. Best view in town. After that, the night's open. Probably will check out the new Park between NYNY and MC, there are a couple new bars there, Beerhaus is one I want to hit. Dub's game at 6p. Drinks. Gambles. Sex. Or at least 2 of the 3.

Day 3: CURE DAY.

Excited to see them again. Probably will get an early big lunch somewhere during during the day, can't eat/drink too too much during the hours leading up to the show as Cure shows usually go 3 hours+ and I don't want to be struggling to poop/pee the whole time. My boss (the cool one) will be in town to see the same show, so maybe will meet up with he and his boyfriend for a drink beforehand. Clique/Vesper at Cosmo?

Show likely won't let out until north of 11p, and I'll likely be nice and thirsty, so out to the bars for the after-show drinkies. Could be a late night.

Day 4, last full day. I get a cash infusion, hopefully not TOO needed, as it's my pay day. Hope I can just ATM $500 out from anywhere and be done with it. If I NEED the full $1K I'll have to trek up to the wasteland that is Sahara to the one fucking Bank of the West branch in all of Vegas. If so maybe some exploration up there, I've been looking at Artisan as a possible hang spot so maybe will check that out.

Thinking this will be a "pace it" day, as on the last couple trips I haven't felt great on the last day due to, you know, debauchery and self-abuse the preceding 3 days. If no need for BoW trip, could be a late wake up then get lunch somewhere to get some soak up/fuel in me before beginning the final day rage. 

No other daytime plans, may hang around the Aria neighborhood as I'm thinking I'll want to take a nap before hitting the splurge meal of the trip at Jean George Steakhouse at 6:30. A good steak, use up my resort credit, then hopefully be nice and fueled up and ready for the final night action. I'll likely try to get late checkout on Sat so I can go off the rails this last night without having to throttle back worried about a 10a wake up to check out. This could be the "go every damn where" night since I might be slightly sick of posh Aria by this night and ready to go dive bar hopping. Double Down in the cards?

Saturday, fly out day, probably sleeping in as long as possible, shower, head to the airport for the 5p flight and back in my hobbit hole by 8p. Done and dusted and I have the next day to recover before going back to work.

Again, I have this Vegas shit sorted. If this ends up being how things go it's a great trip, and if it gets weird then all the better, because weird in Vegas is usually a good thing.

2 weeks, 2 days.
