Here We Are Again.

Escapade #48 all time in Las Vegas, Nevada begins in around 48 hours.

The prep is basically done. The money is out of the bank, the laundry is done, the bag is partially packed, I'm checked into the room, there's not much left to do. I check into the flight tomorrow night, do a little more packing Thursday morning then head off to park the car in the work garage, work Thursday til 4p then I'm gone.

All is well. Waffled a bit on staying at NYNY as with the funds inflow I could afford an upgrade to a suite somewhere, but I'm good with getting re-acquainted with one of my former fave resorts now that the rooms are fresh. Certainly can't sneeze at how little it's going to cost me, and nothing else in the MGM palette really tickles my nuts right now. If Aria's standard rooms finish the makeover they're under maybe I'll stay there later this year.

Money's good. Still have $2K in the bank after all needs and wants are pulled out. $1K per four full days and $800+ for the short first night. Hopefully can come home with a couple grand to give myself a head start on the summer trip that will now be happening in June. The cash along with basically unlimited funds on the MGM CC should make it a completely comfortable trip.

Trip is still the same - not much in the way of plans. 2 dinner reservations and a whole lot of nothing else. I am somewhat concerned about a potential logistics issue; the Knights will be playing a playoff game the night I fly in, at T-Mobile which is literally right next to my resort. Hoping I come in on time so there won't be a taxi problem getting in there. If I can get to the resort by 9:30p I should be OK. Otherwise I may have to get dropped elsewhere and hoof it in through the crowds. Not ideal for a first night. Fingers crossed.

Other than that, nothing to report. I have this down to a science by this point and all should go to plan for a lovely 5-nighter in Happytown. See you after.
