Total Count:I traveled a total of 9 times to fabulous Las Vegas in 2018. My trips were a combination of fun getaways and conferences. Here's the count:
- January Caesar's Palace
- February MGM Grand
- March Cosmopolitan
- April Harrah's
- June Encore
- July Wynn
- August MGM Grand West Wing
- October MGM Grand
- November Planet Hollywood
I believe that my 7 fun getaway trips were comped stays. I do not get good plays, jackpots, handpays and bonus rounds at slots, but I do invest in my stays, I accrue and earn points and get rewarded with comped room stays. So when I do my hilarious Facebook Live at a slot machine, don't look for a jackpot. HA!!! I'm cool. Its fun.
Early Travel
I'll continue my early morning travel. It worked, no cancellations or delayed flights. However, there is a cost... of course early arrival to Las Vegas will result in an early check-in fee.
Frugal Spending
I spent very little money. I take an empty glass bottle, fill with water and packaged tea. I prepare turkey and cheese sandwiches for the airport and hotel. I also take snack crackers. Folks seem to like the "Chicken in a Biskit" crackers... so, I'll continue with that. LOL!
- Purchase bottle water from the ABC Store, CVS or Walgreens.
- Breakfast- Egg McMuffin at McDonald's.
- Lunch / Dinner- Asada taco at El Buen Pastor in Fremont.
Slots
Amazing!!! I think I have fallen in love with video poker. I had a very LONG play time at O'Sheas' playing video poker at the bar. Will do more in 2019. I like Deuces Wild... but I can also play regular video poker.
Shuttle
Up until December 2017, all of my transportation service was booked through Airline Shuttle for many years, from their start of business until they closed down. I tried Bell Airport shuttle, but they were LOUSY!!!!! They did not pick me up from CP. So, I started with SuperShuttle and they are great!!! All contact is electronic. Hence, it is efficient and excellent. The actual vehicle can be tracked online. They are great with they text notifications. SuperShuttle is great.
Casinos
I just started going to Fremont in 2018. So, I will continue to share my play time on The Strip and now Fremont. My $20 bill lasts longer in Fremont. But, I love the jazz-ma-tazz of The Strip. Plus, MLife and Total Rewards give me good room comps. My Total Rewards is Platinum and my MLife is Pearl. So, I'll work on keeping those levels.
So, that's a good map for 2019!!!
