It's Not A Bender, It's A Lifestyle.

In one week I will be tits deep in Vegas. Everything is in place. I'll hit my number for the save plus a little, probably about $5500. It will leave me skint until my next paycheck but at least I won't have to massacre the CC like on past trips. Hopefully I'll hit at least something in the first couple days to take the cash pressure off. Hitting at least one four aces and a handpay on the trip will be all I really need. That way I can come back with a couple grand and pay that forward to a summer trip. Fingers crossed. If not I'm going to try not to stress. It's a gambling budget for a reason. I scored some good devil's dandruff for the trip, and will have some shroom gummies too, so I'll be able to alter reality at will during the festivities. Always makes things more groovy. Sports will be in order to some extent over the week, there are SF Giants games every day, and Masters Sunday is the day I arrive. Something to watch while waiting to get into my room....

All the amazing April savings I will luxuriate in on my April trip, happening in April. -5 nights at Freddie's Bellagio in a Resort Tower King: All in price $253, would be...unknown! The Resort Tower King is no longer available to book as of 4/2. Closest is probably the Strip View Spa King at $2285 all in, though my room would probably be more, but we'll give the unwashed masses a break. Call it a $2000 even price break from rack rate. -$50/$50 FP/RC as part of the booking package, $100 value. -$100 RC for getting to Gold last year, plus $30 in standard accrued RC, $130 value. -$157 in Slot Dollars, $157 value. $2387 in savings from a non-MGM'er. I fought hard to get to Gold again for this year and it's for trips like this. Having literally a positive comp to cash outlay ratio for an elevated room in a 5-Star is insane for a low roller like me. My overhead is basically a one-way flight in. Is gud. 10 days.
