April, Ron & Mom hit Vegas 12/4-12/7, Planet Hollywood

We were so ready to get off that plane! Nice boarding positions!

 

Now we are at Nacho Daddy’s enjoying carnitas nachos. Had to try them after seeing them in a trip report!

 

Here you go Dave - we’re safe now - they are in the background, helping the public, I’m sure!

 

We gambled more than normal for us today with good results. Finished at PHo.

Mom & aunt loved The Bronx Wanderers. The usher moved them up, so they had great seats. We saw the show earlier this year and also enjoyed it.

Day 2 Totals:
Played on $950 total
Ended with $1,116
Up $166

 

Thanks for the compliment! I’m still glad I did it. Much easier too.

The nachos were very good! $15.95 and couldn’t finish them, even though sharing. Lots of layers of goodies on the chips. Friendly bartenders.

 

Does this mean we’re famous?! I am hoping we have a nice, BORING flight home.

O.M.G.
First, the drama of the flight here. Now a big mistake I made for the flight home. I booked this trip months ago and never noticed.

We are used to taking the nonstop redeye home. It normally leaves anywhere between 10-11:30pm and lands in Cincinnati 5-6:30am because of the time change. The date changes overnight.

Frontier changed this route to now leave Vegas at 1:15am. Ugh. But we like nonstop, so booked this flight for Saturday night, 12/7.

Do you see what I did there? 1:15am on 12/7 is Saturday morning, not Saturday night! So the flight is tonight at 1:15am!

Ron woke me up at 2am this morning, “ummm, you’d better look at this...we got our check-in email”. Sh*t. I can’t believe I did that! I’ve barely slept since. I feel so bad that I cut my mom’s visit with her sister down to 48 hours in Vegas. On a minor note, Ron will miss his group slot pull tomorrow. He had booked that a long time ago.

I looked at the March trip and I did the same thing. Thankfully I was able to change it without penalty.

Yes, we could shell out the bucks to stay another day, but we all agree with the strange things that have already happened, we are simply meant to go home.

At least we can still fit in the Shania show tonight. And my aunt is used to being in Vegas for so trips, so she’ll be fine until her own flight tomorrow.

Sigh.

 

Yes, if it’s not sold out, we could pay change fees, flight differences and seat fees. But we really do feel enough weird things have happened already. It’s meant to be. My mom seems okay with it. Maybe they’ve had enough togetherness!

 

Thanks everyone! We’re going to have a great day today and get extra sleep tomorrow! Making the best of it!

 

Had a $4.95 breakfast at PBR Bar at PHo. Coffee was only 99 cents. Great deal and tasted good!

 

Walked across the bridge to play a little at Cosmo.

Where is everyone?

 

Terrible luck at Cosmo, but good drinks! Hey, what’s up with the raspberry lemon drop without the fancy glass?
