56 more days until my 12 day September trip. I've been working building up a "patch work" of free hotel stays for this trip. So far I'll be staying at the Flamingo, South Point, Gold Coast, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, and Golden Gate. I need to fill in one more night to complete my trip; which should be either NYNY or the Mirage using MyVegas points. My son & his wife are flying in for a week so I am going to let them use my room at the Flamingo and a couple of nights at MB while they are here. That's why I have so many hotel reservations. I have a room at the Flamingo for 9 nights, so that will be my base of operations for most of the trip. Booked a full sized car thru Enterprise; cost for the 12 days is $281 all in...not bad. Used FF points on Sun Country, but probably upgrade to 1st class to start out the trip in style. I reached Diamond level a couple of months ago, so will put my $100 meal voucher & free show tickets to good use. Oh, and I leave in just 3 days for a free 4 night stay at Bally's...is this a great country or what?
