The girlfriend is still in Europe, and it’s so lonely here at home…so, off to Vegas!
But, I am very unprepared for this. I still need to pack my suitcase, backpack, drones, work stuff, etc. And I need to get the car prepped, mattress put in, blankets and pillow…because this is a roadtrip. It just didn’t seem worth it to fly, and having a car for a long Vegas trip is great.
I’ll be working all day tomorrow (Thursday) and leaving after work, hopefully around 6PM and take Friday off. I am optimistically hoping to get to Las Vegas by Friday afternoon…it all depends how far I get Thursday night, which depends on how well an upgrade we’re running Thursday at 5PM goes. 
Anyway, let’s talk about the hotels!
I’m booked in a standard room at Rio for the 26th – 29th, and at Horeshoe in a Resort Executive Suite for the 28th through the 4th. I have a day of overlap just so I’m not “homeless” for any part of the stay, and so I don’t feel rushed to get out of Rio in case I want to stick around longer for any reason.
The plans:
Meeting with my coworker (or two) one day to go to the range
Working all day 
Maybe see a show or two?
Light gambling
Convince @AlPal to fly a drone with me?
Play Magic the Gathering
Maybe Jerry’s Nugget? I dunno…could be fun…
The stats:
Rio: 2188 TC, no reward points, $50 freeplay, $15 dining credit, plus whatever the daily drink things are worth (if they ever work).
CET: 121,139 TC, 29,388 RCs. No freeplay/offers I know of, but I do have the $100 diamond dinner to use plus the 4 daily drinks.
Bankroll: I’m gonna start out with just $4364. I might get some more later in the trip, depending on how quickly that goes poof. 
The concerns:
Wifi speed: If Horseshoe ends up having terrible wifi, I’ll have to figure something out.
Food: I have back to back to back to back meetings, all around lunchtime. I’ll either need to shift my eating schedule, or find something quick for lunch (<20 mins) at Horseshoe.
Anyway, this is a very spur-of-the-moment trip. Just one more long workday, and I’m Vegasbound! I’ll have to be a lot more “responsible” this trip since I’m working the whole time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, right?View attachment 539250
