    Hello everyone!

    I'm going to do my 4th semi-live/live TR since the first one I did in December. If you have followed my last TR in April, I really dropped the ball in updating the last TR because during the last trip, I had a large amount of work going on during the vacation which was absolutely terrible. My job consists of tutoring people online and on call. It was just a high volume time to deal with a lot of people. Now that it is July, the work has decreased and I'm finishing everything up ahead of time to avoid work on this trip.

    It's 1 day, 1 hour, and 13 minutes away and I'm super excited about this trip. This time it will be 4 nights at the Vdara again, I know it's the 3rd time I've gone to this hotel this year, but my sister and I love this hotel. This Vegas trip begins on July 8th for my sister's 29th birthday and she is wanting to leave for the trip now lol.

    Food
    Lemongrass, Wicked Spoon, Aria Buffet, Vdara Market, Nine Fine Irishmen. Most of this is taken care of by F&B and MyVegas. There might be some other surprises as well. I'm thinking of other things but I'm not sure yet.

    Gaming
    Slots like usual, mostly older G+ games and maybe 5-Reel Wonka and Monopoly Millionaire new game. I do have FP possibly from the room, $25 FP from Cosmo, and $100 FP from MyVegas.

    Shows
    I'm contemplating two shows but my sister and mother say nay. I'm thinking of doing Australian Bee Gees at Excalibur from MyVegas but I'm not sure yet nor what day would be best. Also, I had some thoughts to see Mariah Carey at Caesars on the 10th for the cheap seats ($50 tickets that turn into $70 thanks to FEES (ugh)). I have always wanted to see Mariah in concert but I like old Mariah a lot better than new Mariah.

    Other Stuff
    Honolulu Cookie Company at V/P, Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, Red Rock Bingo (?), and maybe something else.

    Meets
    I'm open to meeting anyone in the later half of any of the days (after 7 or 8 p.m.) If you want to meet somewhere in the Aria/Bellagio/Cosmo region, I'll be there (PMing me best I usually can respond fast).

    I hope everyone enjoys my TR report. May there be many surprises too that I'm probably forgetting (?) about as well.
    Jason

    I can't believe it's going to be 110 Fahrenheit today. It's 9 a.m. and it already feels like 100. My goodness, this is going to be worse than any day (other than tomorrow) in Vegas this coming week. Humidity is worse here around 25-50% than in Vegas.

    20% chance of rain all week for Vegas! (UGH) Hopefully, it won't rain.

    Hope you have a blast. I really enjoyed staying at Vdara last time, you've got a nice restaurant line-up!

    I'm glad you liked Vdara. I had an opportunity to stay in one of their 2-Bedroom Lofts a few years ago, the room was amazing and the view was incredible.

    The Australian Bee Gees were a fun show (although it was years ago and I love disco). Have a great trip and looking forward to updates!

    We'll see how it goes on this trip, I have wanted to go to ABGs before but I never could fit it into my schedule. Hopefully, this trip I can fit it in. I have no idea how the trip will all come together but it'll be good.

    I'm officially in GO mode ... I finished all of my work and I'm ready to take the trip.
    Now I just have to pack and print out stuff.

    Have a fun and winning trip!
    Thanks for the Vdara info on another thread, it sounds like somewhere I would like to stay on a soon/future trip.

    I really like staying there. I hope they can get one of those 3 rooms or better tomorrow.

    My sister and I talked about something last night. We're going to try our version of slot bingo, I think sdguy did something like this when playing WoZ Ruby Slippers.

    It's just for fun, we're just seeing how fast we can black all of this out. If it gets boring then we can skip this at that point. Some of the challenges are easy others are more challenging to hard. Here's the board what I came up with:

    My cats are going nuts right now because they know we're leaving tomorrow (lol).

    Just woke up about 5 minutes ago, checked the traffic. That's a good start so far with all green on the freeways with a 3 hour 20 minute drive as the average.
