Not going to post about it again, not going to dwell on it because it's too painful, but...

If the world hadn't gone to shit in a shoe box, I would be in Vegas right now.

That is all.

T-Minus 10 Days.

In just 10 short days I will be on the ground in Vegas. It almost feels a little unreal. It's been so, damn, long since the last trip. It's been tough to get a heat on for this one but it's here now. Good room, great resort, good location, should be a good time all around. I so need a week to just fucking relax and get out of my own head. Was thinking about adding a night on the back end if I got an even bigger bonus in my review today. No more bonus but a 6% raise, which is better in the long run. So the trip is locked. I committed to "just" 5 days at the start of this after the Junepocalypse and I'm sticking to it. I really can't get myself into too much financial trouble on this one and that's going to make it more enjoyable. If I blow through the $5K in cash I'll take, fine, but no more lasting damage than that will be done. No more coming home to $7K in CC debt on top of cash broke. My SF weekend adventures for the month are over too, which wi...

Xmas Done Deal.

The inevitable Xmas Vegas is set. Booked the flight and hotel tonight. Was waiting for a good flight deal and found one for a late flight in on Saturday night the 20th, will arrive at about 10:30p. Wasn't digging the early AF morning flights in, too much trouble waiting around to get into the room. This way I'll have the room ready at arrival, can just print a key and head up, and be settled in for a full 5 day trip. Then it's an out time on the fly out day of around 11a, home by a reasonable time and no waiting around in the room to head to the airport, which I hate. $154 all in for the flights, which is damn good for Xmas week. The room will be an Executive King Suite at the Grand. Newly remodeled, they look a lot brighter and airier that the rather dour old Exec suites. Comped for 4 of the 6 nights, all in after taxes and removed resort fees it's around $180. Adding the extra night means about $100 over the suite I had booked at MB, but it's still a hell of a dea...

Iconic

  Upgrade. I'm getting the foo-foo new "Iconic" MGM Rewards card. Figured it only makes sense, the benefits far outweigh the $249 annual fee. Bennies below. -10,000 Tier Credits after spending $5,000 in the first 3 billing cycles of account opening. -6x points and tier credits per $1 spent at MGM Rewards Destinations; 2x points and tier credits per $1 spent at hotels, dining, gas stations, and grocery stores; and 1x points and tier credits on all other purchases. -$200 resort credit upon account opening and annually on card anniversary. -Annual award night of up to $250 in value when you spend $25,000 on the card in the previous year. -10,000 Tier Credit bonus annually at card anniversary with $25,000 in card spend during the previous year. -Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit, available every 4 years. -Priority Pass lounge membership. -Trip delay insurance, no foreign transaction fees, and more. Plus all the normal benefits that came with the standard card. Pretty solid ...
