Junebies 2019. June Freebies And Discounts.

10 days out from the 4th trip of the year, time to tally up some discounts. Reasonable haul for a short trip.

-Luxor Premium Pyramid room for 4 nights, $37.32 plus resort fees, would be $457.88 plus fees if I wasn't in Mlife, savings of $420. Crazy.

-myVegas voucher for $50 drink credit at the Times Square bar in NYNY.

-myVegas free lunch buffet at Mandalay Bay reward. $22 value.

-myVegas reward for two glasses of champagne at Prime in Bellagio, I don't know, $20 maybe?

-Hardly even worth mentioning, but still sitting on the two unused R.com $25 certs as well.

Am saving a little over $500 over what some Joe Shmoe with no Vegas status would pay. That's offset somewhat by a fairly high flight ticket this time at almost $300, but at least it's not bargain basement like Spirit and I'm flying in and out of SFO thank Jeebus.

Despite my long, storied love/hate relationship with myVegas it still is more or less worth the minimal effort I put into it daily. I don't play any of the mobile games anymore but am still able to squeeze enough LP's out of the Facebook game to make it worth while. The Times Square reward will be a good drink-subsidized video poker playing session on one of the days.

So, not bad. As mentioned before too I should fairly easily get to Pearl Mlife status this trip which may bring a comp offer or two in the coming year I'll have the level. I'm happy with my spend on this trip and should still have $4K in the bank after it's all said and done, so all is well and I'm pretty much set to go.

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.
