Not much of a list. Not playing myVegas anymore makes these posts pretty minimal. But fuck myVegas. - 4 Nights in a Delano King Suite at Delano - $137, would be $634 if I was an MGM nobody, savings of $497. $150 VIP package cuts that a bit, but eh, VIP PACKAGE. - Mlife Express Comp value from Mlife CC- $100. -Mlife Resort Credit from booking package - $50. - Allegiant flight, would be $219 normally, booked early and used flight voucher so only paid $81, saved $138. $635 less than a Vegas newbie would pay.

Time for a couple drinks somewhere nearby and probably a light lunch. Last day of the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney that day so it may be livelier in the bars, sure I can find somewhere peaceful to hang out though. Afternoon, evening, no wind up day as it's a shorter trip so I will have a full day's spend and I can get right into the gambledrink. Will be smart this trip and will NOT be spreading my affections around on the gambling. It's all Mlife all the time, trying to secure Mlife Gold by September last on...
