Question of the Day - 02 August 2017

I never go to Las Vegas for things I can do at home. So watch out.

I start looking forward to March Madness usually in October. Watch a lot of basketball before the tournament.

I start planning a color scheme for my clothes so I can mix and match (red/white/blue or black/white/beige, etc.)  My husband just tells me how many shirts and how many jeans he'll need.  Review the LVA coupon book, reread the most recent LVA issues and highlight articles, and see if I'll need to stop at a bookstore and buy an updated street-by-street map, as we always get and car and I'm the navigator.  By the time we board the plane, the flight has long since been paid for, room has been comped, car has been reserved and rechecked for the lowest price, money has been saved up, and LVA, coupon book, and maps have been packed.  Always take an extra day's worth of money, medications, and underwear, cuz you never know!

I love the food in Vegas, going there allows me to go off my (ongoing) diet.

I go to tripadvisor and find the best "value" restaurants, both free-sanding and in casinos for Breakfast, Lunch, etc.

combine that with any coupons in the LVA book, and pretty much have an outline of where we can go.  once in LV we usually decide exactly where to go to eat early every day.

I put key restaurants and attractions into my GPS before the trip so we can get going right out of the car rental at the airport.  Want to make the most of the time there

I permanently psyched myself up by moving here! I've lived in Vegas for five years and love it!

I start packing about 2 weeks before i go. i start drinking about 1 week before i go (to prep my body for the upcoming onslaught).

We always go back through our copies of the LVA newsletter and the MRB to organize our trip and maximize taking advantage of the benefits of our membership.  If we haven't already bought show tix, then I'll check out what's available on StubHub.  We make sure we have enough "seed" money to start gambling before we get our marker, and if time permits, we'll practice rolling dice!  Thanks for all the good info you put out!

I meet a friend over there twice a year (sometimes more) She drives and I fly going over, then she drives me home. I TRY to pack light because I can buy anything I want over there.However, I ALWAYS take a jacket because the air conditioning can be brutal. We have comped rooms thanks to B---Properties and use Las Vegas Advisor coupon book for most meals. I don't drink so I don't have to practice that, but I do practice Video Poker on my computer. I also Read over one of Jean Scott's books again and check out the most recent Las Vegas Advisor issue (especially for weather). I make certain I have all my money in my carry-on bag, any medications I take, my coupon book, my plane ticket and off I go. If the baggage gets lost the heck with it I've got everything I need right with me. I ALWAYS have  great time!

Planning usually starts a couple of weeks in advance by booking spa treatments and having my host book dinner reservations and a cabana during pool season. If we're meeting friends there, planning might include booking a show or visiting the strip. If I'm playing a tournament, I'll review strategy the week before. Heading to Vegas this Friday and bringing a bunch of friends so I'm listening to my Vegas music and consulting the Vegas packing list!

Make a note not to forget the Viagra.

Used to go 3-4 times a year but with flying more of a pain, and tighter comps now only 1-2 a year, Always stay part of the trip at The M, great place, great value.
I practice my VP,  go through LVA coupon book, mark any applicable coupon with a small sticky sticking out top as to what it is. different color for buffet, match play, etc,
