Adventures in Vegas: Overview...

Well, here we go again.

Every August, about this time, I finally am able and plan out to take a few days of badly-needed R&R in Las Vegas. This year is no different. Because of crappy bus wireless that everyone else appears to be tying up with their own entertainment, I guess I probably don't get to do this until I can activate the wireless at the Westgate.

(Yes, the Westgate. Free slot play is a good thing and will determine how much or little my room actually costs there. Blame the economy.)

Anyway, going to be out there until Thursday night, getting back on Friday morning. As I'm out there, I will almost certainly be able to report on a bunch of my “adventures”, including looks at NFL numbers, the Mayweather-McGregor farce from a whole new perspective than just remotely where I live.

This should be an interesting trip, though. Not only will I be keeping up with all that, I also have a yearly trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame and one to the set of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” to do as well.

That does NOT mean a necessary vacation from this blog, though. In fact, I should be able to get a nice bit of material here for that.

So sit down, pull up a Guinness (or other drink of choice), and let's have a good trip.


And the adventures began pretty much off the rip.

The Westgate was understaffed at the front desk, and takes NO CASH AT ALL at the front desk, temporarily overdrawing me! YAY!!

Then the free slot play deal that was part of the promotion I decided on this hotel with? Right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, so that gets done this (Monday) morning.

It's settling down, but the start of this is a real pain in the ass. At least it sounds like I'll have money left over ($100 taken off the table for the room deposit, and who knows when the bank will let me get that back...) to take care of some stuff at home after the trip...

Well, unto the breach then...
