It’s been a rough month in the panda life, and I need some extended Vegas time. Without going into all the details, CVP finds himself living the single life; the Red Panda ended the relationship. Luckily, work is going well and I can take the time off, so off to Vegas I go. Maybe I’ll find a nice lady at Circus Circus.
Tomorrow will be a full(ish) day of work, then I’m roadtripping it out to Vegas, with a stop for the night along the way somewhere.
Let’s start it off with the shitholes amazing hotels I am staying at:
The Hotels:
Primm Valley Resort and Casino for 1 night: They kept sending me follow up mailers after my 1 visit…and I needed an extra night somewhere. The reviews of this place are…special.
But hey, I got a “courtyard premium” room, with an outrageous resort fee:
I have $60 in slot play and $20 dining credit to lessen that sting…
M Resort: Actually, nothing bad to say about M Resort. It’s a great property, and the new tower opens next month. They actually sent me some mailers about it, so that’s exciting. I did hear a rumour that some good games were removed, so TBD how much I play. It’s a great room though and I’ll be in it for 3 nights.
Rio: Oh, Rio. At least Rio is trying to get better! Their game selection is decent now, and I can make use of my tier benefits for daily food credit.
Paris, theoretically I am in the Versailles Executive Suite. I think I also booked it with some resort credit and freeplay, but I can’t remember. I’m interested in trying out that tower though.
Then, the real reason you all are reading this… Circus Circus.
I am staying in The Clownhouse for 2 nights, because my offer requires a 2 night minimum. That’s $102.04 in resort fees. For freaking clownland. Luckily, 2 VMBers (jokingly?) offered to cover the resort fee if I don’t get it comped off, as long as I do a TR about the place…so of course I am doing a TR about it!
Hey, it has a better review than Primm Valley at least!
It’s a long trip, but also a pretty busy trip…sorta. I have vague plans, some meetups, some gambling, some food, ya know, typical Vegas things.
Plans:
Magic the Gathering with a VMBer. I won’t make him come to Circus Circus though.
Bum a tour of the Lanai Suite that @eliza is in
THE Steakhouse at Circus Circus
Jaunting to Jerry’s Nugget
Rootin’ Tootin’ Cowboy Shootin’ with my coworker
Drone flying
Drone flying in California at that abandoned waterpark, again.
Maybe some other meetups if anyone is in town? (@VegasFLMan you comin down to clown around?)
The Stats:
A-Play (Primm):
3904 Tier Credits
$.20 of comps
Penn (M Resort):
10,839 TC
$372.58 Penn Cash (Worth double as food credit, so $745.16 in food)
Rio:
3286 TC
$.27 in comps
CET:
141,730 TC . SOOOO close to 7 Stars, I’ll get it this trip easily, but I think it will take them too long to fully process it so I can’t redeem anything this trip.
39,813 Reward Credits ($398.13 in food, assuming I get it 1:1)
Circus Circus:
I can’t find a way to login to their website…but last time I was there, I earned 2000 tier credits.
Bankroll:
Currently I have $4804 in my wallet. I have another $3k set aside to withdraw later in the trip, if needed.
Overall, I just want a fun trip, in some…questionable…places. Will this trip be full of fine dining and exquisite hotels? Probably not. Will it be an…adventure? Yes.
I’m expecting this to be a decently long trip report, due to the length. I plan to make it a vlog as well to recap every couple of days, as well as doing chapters/table of contents in the 2nd post, like a previous TR ( https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/f…2-1-3-5-different-hotels.212337/#post-2873221 ) to keep it organized.
Hope you all follow along!
