Bobby (BW) 79 & Martie (MJ) 63 from Smithville, Tx (2 years) after Austin (50 + years) taking our 50 ++ trip to Vegas, celebrating 18th anniversary, Sept 29, 2001 stayed at Fitzgeralds.
Flying Allegiant, good times, fair price
Staying at The D, Comped, second trip 2019
$200 + FSP, $100 + comp food, 6 bogo meals
Will update with details prior to trip
VIVA LAS VEGAS
My mom used to say "anticipation is the most fun part of a trip." I agree, all the thinking and planning, and anticipating...so fun!
I'll be there 3 days later, Bobby. I'd buy you a drink but I wouldn't dare impede on your big anniversary. Have a good trip....and just a word of advice - dont celebrate your 50th with a comped meal....you might end up on the couch.
Thanks Candy & PJ for your comments, Candy I am driving my spouse batty with my planning, but she will have to suffer like a good soldier. PJ, I will be easy to spot usually playing video poker at The Vue Bar at The D or Kings bar at 4 Queens a 79 year old thinning gray hair 6 ' 190 lbs. skinny legs, wearing walking shorts,Vegas T shirt & talking to anyone who will listen, we can exchange a few drinks & invite anyone who want to hear our war stories. Again Thank you Candy & PJ, hope to see you soon.
Awesome! I just booked flights for me and the wife today... for JANUARY - leaving out of San Antonio!! Nothing wrong with having something fun to look forward too!

Absolutely true, Drew. Everybody needs that. January will be here before you know it. And as your January trip gets closer, if you can see your way to booking another trip down the road from that one, it makes 'leaving day' from that one so much less distressing!
January trip should be an excellent time.
Thanks Candy, PJ, Drew for your comments,
WOW 1 week until we leave for VIVA LAS VEGAS
Packing & Preping
Write TR after return from trip
Chill & watch college football
Nice! I will eventually make it to Vegas for a College Football weekend - however, as a HS football coach/teacher that time of year is an overlap of my busy time. One of these days....
And for the trip in January, I looked at the schedule and notice the College FB Championship game is a week later this year - so the weekend i'll be there is a 4 game NFL playoff weekend with the CFB Champ game on that monday!
Have fun with your football filled weekend coming up next week! I'll be staying at the D for my trip as well.
Hey Drew, that will be a good time to watch & wager on some real good football games. In 2018 we went the weekend in Dec. of College conference championship games, the best playing the best, man it was fantastic, great games, super fans, Ihit a $50 4 team parlay for $600. ( 10 out of 60 lifetime) The D is a good all around location. Thanks for your comments.
