The Plan, Xmas 2025.

T-minus 37 days, bitches. Plan.

Night One, Saturday:

Its a late flight in and assuming all goes well, I will arrive at Fontainebleau around 11p. Check in, dump the bag, basic unpacking and probably down to the casino floor by about 11:30p. It's the weekend before Xmas so things probably mellow, might try to grab a bite in the Tavern if they're still open for food, or just bars either there onsite at FB or across the street at Resorts World, probably. No reason to stray too far from the FB, as it's going to get late quickly. Drinking yes, plowed no, best course of action.

Day Two, Sunday:

First full day in town having awoken for the first time at FB. Sleeping in is fine, no Niners or Warriors games that day so no need to jump out of bed. Getting a baseline of sleep going would not be the worst plan, especially after the experience on the August trip. No plans this day in terms of food, can grab a lunch somewhere either onsite or if I end up cabbing somewhere. No plans at all, really. If I do gamble I'd like it to be MGM, so possibly a stop mid-strip during the day at some point for Bellagio or Aria. Walk in somewhere for a nice dinner hopefully then drink the night away, stumbling back at some point north strip for the last bedtime at FB.

Day Three, Monday:

Moving day. Up and out of FB by 11a, then in a cab and down to Mandalay Bay to hopefully check in right away. Up to the Elite King to unpack for the last time, and hopefully back down to the floor by noon. Probably will stick close to MB this afternoon, as I have a dinner rezzy there, so maybe a light lunch somewhere, some gambling and drinking in the MB/Luxor area before maybe a nap and shower. At 5:30 it's over to Bourbon Steak for a filet and a glass or two. New steak house just off the lobby. Niners game on to watch. Then in the evening I'm free to catch a cab and ramble upstrip. Should be well into the Vegas flow by now, so could be a late night.

Day Four, Tuesday:

Up and out of the room, and probably looking to maximize the VP spend this day, as I will likely still need at least a little bump on Rewards points to get back to Gold. Can take advantage of a tier accelerator if need be. Nothing else on the calendar this day at all, so it's pick a direction and find a bar, rinse, repeat.

Day Five: Wednesday:

See Tuesday.

Day Six, Thursday, Xmas:

The last day in town and the day little baby Jeebus was born. Allegedly. Probably getting a little worn down here, so I'll be in no rush to get out of the spacious room. Can lounge a bit, maybe take a bath to get rid of some of the toxins. When out of the room it's an MGM points check, if any need to bear down I'll bear down. Gold isn't going to achieve itself. Then can ramble at will, Mavs/Dubs on at 2p then around 4p, will want to get back to MB to freshen up and get ready for the Xmas dinner at Carama...that Bolognese awaits. After that I should be free to finish long and strong. Don't have to wake up too early on fly out day so I should be in a good mood to end the trip with a flourish, assuming the VP gods have smiled upon me.

Then it's fly out morning; get a few hours of sleep, get up around 8a, get to the airport, get home by 2p latest and back to the hobbit hole. Another happy landing.
