    The wait is almost over. It's Vegas time again.

    Why fly in from Europe for 3 days? 11 months ago, wifey and I decided to sign up for this years RnR half marathon in Vegas. Unfortunately (or luckily?:D) I will not be able to run the race, since I have to return to Europe on 11/17, the day of the halfmarathon. Wifey will stay until 11/19 and does the half together with friends who fly in 11/15.

    Will the stressful travel be worth it? Hell yeah, it's Vegas.

    Flights: STR-AMS-LAS-AMS-STR with KLM

    Hotels:
    Bally's (5 nights; 3 of them comped) taking advantage of the matched Diamond before expiration
    Cosmo (2 nights comped) to enjoy the first night with drinks and fountain view

    Gambling: Budget $1,000
    mostly for slots the first night at Cosmo (maybe some for Bally's)
    from 11/15 in the pm probably almost no gambling (maybe some craps/blackjack or poker), since friends are not gamblers and we want to spend quality time together

    Restaurants (definitely):
    Hell's Kitchen (Diamond Celebration Dinner)
    Wynn Buffet (App)
    Donutbar

    Restaurants (maybe):
    The Henry
    Peppermill
    Burger by Gordon Ramsey
    Dirt Dog

    We do not have any plans so far apart from going to the expo to get the RnR stuff. All other activities will be spontanious. And it's also my wife's best friend's birthday on 11/17. Guess we will start the celebration already Saturday night.

    I will try to update as often as possible, but you never know in Vegas. :tearsofjoy:

    4 more hours until I leave the office. Then I will officiate a hockey game in Switzerland before I hit the road for my 2h drive to Stuttgart (wifey's home).

    to be continued...

    Thanks.

    Luckily we have a short layover in Amsterdam, so the total will be time will be 13h25. The flight AMS-LAS itself will be 10h35. We are scheduled to arrive around 2pm local time which still gives us half a day.

    Good luck and have fun. Wife ran the half a couple of times in Vegas and had a great time.
    I’ve been to Hell’s Kitchen a few times and really like it, it’s a good deal at lunchtime. Ramsey’s burger place is meh IMHO.

    Been there twice. I liked the burgers so far, although the service was kind of bad both times. Let's see how it'll be this time. We just need a place close to Bally's for dinner after our friends' arrival at 7pm. They like burger and we can take advantage of the Diamond card to skip the probably long long. Maybe we just have Dirtdog that night. :D

    We must be thinking alike because I'm also eating Wynn Buffet and Hell's Kitchen too.
    If you want to meet up sometime, just let me know I'll be on my phone most of the trip lol.

    Usually I am always happy to meet, but I am not sure how much time we have and what the plans will be. Maybe we’ll bump into each other. Will be at Cosmo to play slots for a few hours after Hells Kitchen tomorrow night. Probably sometime between 9pm-10pm.

    At the airport waiting for the flight to Amsterdam. Check in 5 minutes. No one in front of us at security check. That’s how I like traveling.

    Good luck on your trip! And agree with @Lousyatcraps about GR Burger. An overall disappointment.
