It was too depressing to post a couple of months ago but I had to cancel my planned late December/early January trip due to a family emergency (since resolved) and then the death of a cousin and a long-time mentor. The holidays turned out fine; they were relaxing and I wound up spending a lot of quality time with family though I did miss Vegas.
Well, 21 days from today, I'll be in Vegas! Was able to swing the time, got a DECENT (though not great) fare on Southwest and all comped room stays, for 12 nights. I can't wait. I'm still thinking about participating in the Station Casinos Million Dollar Bingo Tournament. Unfortunately, my favorite Bingo place -- Palace Station -- is sold out for seats but I'm looking at some of the other Stations casinos instead.
I hope I finally have a super disciplined trip where I win, have fun, AND bring almost all of my winnings back home with me! Hope to get a lot of low limit poker in as well, which will be something new for me.
