FINALLY--NINE DAYS! (OK honestly 10 to Vegas, but we hit our local casino the night before so REALLY vaca has started!)
I too prefer the dry heat; the dew point has been brutal most of the summer in eastern Nebraska & doesn't look to end soon. (2 of our kids go to TCU so I understand Texas heat & humidity!)
Cosmo comped 2 nights (except resort fees); LINQ comped 3 weeknights, paying $68 total for 2 weekend nights.
Did Lyft last month & it was brilliant. Will have DH download FLYLV promo code for 5-$10 ride credits. We can each download a $20 Uber credit too if we need it. Plus I think I will get a $20 Lyft credit for referring DH!
Since Mom & I went for a week the end of May into June, this trip was only a go if I could go CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP.
Flights--$22 (SWA points)
Hotels (7 nts) $150
2 free shows (CET diamond)
A BUNCH of myVegas, groupon, travelzoo, living social dirt cheap deals (got them all with additional discounts). Honestly, probably more than we will use!!
So very little out of pocket except gambling; I taught summer school this summer & DH has been Ubering part time (we are both teachers) to cover that!!
