    So I was really planning on posting a introduction before we took off yesterday but it didn’t happen. Trip is the 16-22 staying at the Tropicana thanks to our local comps. We have not been to Vegas in 15 years and we came back for our 20th Anniversary.


    Flight was uneventful which is a good thing.

    Landed 8:30 PM local time and checked in up to the room which thanks to previous call was upgraded from the standard king to a suite.

    Only one problem it is a non smoking room vs the smoking that was requested. A call to the desk says unfortunately nothing can be done tonight but tomorrow we can switch to a smoking room and they will call us between 10-11 when the room is ready.

    Gamble a bit nothing of note and we both end up losing and walk the strip a bit.

    Today we make the short walk to get supplies for the room (alcohol) and decide to stick close so that we will be around when we get the phone call for our room switch. We use the MyVEGAS reward for bogo brunch buffet at MGM grand, play in the slot tournament and gamble. Husband ends up a decent amount I am still down

    It is 1 still no call and so we decided to check in with them. We are told that are room switch scheduled for Wednesday but to another nonsmoking room. After discussing and bringing in a manager we are told they have it straight now and will be in touch shortly to get us moved.

    About another hour and we have the keys to our new room.

    Happy Anniversary! The suite looks nice! We’ve stayed in regular Trop rooms before and thought they were fine; nicer than expected.

    Good luck!

    So I need to share a story about right be before this hit happened, couple sitting next to playing for a bit, they busted and had a 15 cent voucher printed they tell me don’t press spin and put their voucher in my machine telling me that it will bring me luck and leave.... this was 4 spins later

    I may have to start adopting the TITO of shame passing on to others.
