Creature of Habit..

I was reading the thread from JanaBanana about needing bottle water from a downtown drug store and it made me think of my first few moves on every Vegas trip.

I am a creature of habit and my trips always start the exact same: I get a drink from the casino bar, THEN check in. Ill spend some time scoping out my room (90% of the time I'm at The Plaza or GG, so I pretty much know what Im in for). However, I refuse to leave my room until Im 100% unpacked. Down to my toothbrush and socks (my wife hates this, she likes to drop the bags off and go play).

Then Ill head straight to that Wal Greens down Fremont and stock up on water, gatorade and 5-Hour Energy shots. From there, its game on and my gambling trip can begin. (Granted, being able to get my drinks/snacks and not waste a lot of time walking back is another reason I love downtown.)

Call it OCD or ADD but I call it a typical start to my Vegas trip.

My wife and I also have a routine every September when we come out to Vegas. We get our car rental and head to the food for less store to get some things. Then we go check in at our timeshare(the grandview). Then to South Point for some good vp.

If I have a car, leave the rental car center and head right to Whole Foods. for room grub.

I do the same.

Unpacking can take place anytime later.

I wait so long for Vegas that I don't want to spend valuable time goofing around in the room right after I get there.

I agree....drop the bags. Freshen up...HIT THE CASINO!

The second that I get to the hotel, I immediately check in, then go right up to the room, drop my bags, freshen up, get my Strategy Charts and Slot Club Cards out of my bags (I have them on top) and then off I go to play!

Then when I'm off playing, I'll take a walk over to Wallgreens to get a Gallon bottle of water for the room!
