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

It don't git much better'n this. My long, depressing nightmare of a job is over. Staying with the same company but moving to a new site with just a plethora of better attached to it. Just cancelled my Fastrack, for one thing. Fuck that bridge and everyone on it. The relief hasn't really set in but it will, and it may lift a low level depression I've had for the last year. Here's hoping. I also, as of a couple hours ago, have the next 12 days off from work. Don't have to really go back until 2/5. 7 of those days will be either traveling to or being in Vegas, so maybe not the most relaxing stretch, but I'm not complaining. It's been a rough stretch from August to here with not much time off, so I plan to enjoy the living fuck out of it. I earned it. Then, oh yeah, Vegas tomorrow. All the money is out of the bank, I'm already checked into Monday's room and I'm 80% packed and ready. The save worked out perfectly, I'm not fucking myself with a...

Counting down to XmasVegas 2025. All is well. The save will be fine, with the increase coming in the next check I will have the $1K per each 5 full days and a few hundy for the first, short night. Won't even get to the resort before 11p so I won't need much. Looking forward to a couple nights at Fontainebleau, it's a pretty glorious place.  No much planned, which is fine. No shows and only a couple dinner rezzies, if I kill it on VP early in the trip I may pop into Absinthe or something but aside from that there's nothing I really am even interested in seeing. Food-wise I'll just have to get it where I find it for most meals. Just need to remember to do so, no repeat of last -trip drunk shenanigans.  No themed Vegas playlist again this year, don't even have one started ATM. Will work on it tonight, prob will just be a few holiday tunes mixed in with the stuff I like to hear in the room. upbeat and cool. This is also the last week countdown to my getting out of f...

T-minus 17 days to yet another Xmas in Vegas. This will be consecutive year #13. Crazy. Let's count up the savings on this round. -2 nights comped at Fontainebleau in a Mountain Best View King: $0. Would be $480 without my having lost played a few hundy on VP there. saving of $480. -4 nights comped at Mandalay Bay in an Elite King: $0. $765 saved. My standard 4 nights comped offer and no resort fees due to MGM Gold. -$250 in Slot Dollars, plus $30 in Freeplay from the booking package. $280 in value. -$60 in existing resort credit left over from the prior trip, plus $50 from the booking package. $110 in value. Total haul: $1635. Not an all-timer but very respectable when you consider that my only overhead for the trip will be the fight, which is more than made up for by the RC/FP so it's a zero overhead trip. How many bitches can say that for a 6-night trip in non-standard rooms on the strip over a holiday. NOT TOO MANY BITCHES.
