September Vegas Trip Fully Booked

Our trip to Vegas is now booked.  I had signed up for a Southwest Rewards card last October.  I used points off that to book our flights.  Riviera had sent me an offer for a 2 night stay so I used that and waited to see if I would get an offer from Harrah's for September.  When I pulled up my e-mail today I saw that they had sent my offer for September.  Two complimentary nights and show tickets to Jubilee. 

I called to set up reservations at the Quad and asked to book an extra night.  The lady on the phone said that they would book me for an extra night complimentary.  Score!  A free 5 night trip to Vegas.  I've already won.

My usual trip to Vegas involves very little planning, and a lot of last minute decision making, as well as sitting around.  On this trip I hope to have a few things planned ahead of time.  We already have Jubilee planned now.  My first show in Vegas.  I would like to have a few poker tournaments planned before we get out there.

I always think I am going to get in a decent game.  We end up goofing around and I never get in one.  We generally play a daily tournament or 2.  The Venetian has the last tournament of their Deep Stack Extravaganza on the 28th.  It is a 200.00 Bounty tournament at 7:00.  I would like to play in it.  We will probably plan some daily tournaments as well.

Friday will be our crazy goofing around night.  Mash some buttons and have some drinks.  Saturday we will make some bets on college football and watch the games while eating a crazy amount of delivered food and drinking.  Sunday we will change hotels, then get in the Venetian Deep Stack.  Monday is Jubilee.  Tuesday is still open.  We will fill in the blanks as it gets a little closer.

We will be spending a lot more time playing poker this time around than we did the last 2 times I have been out.  It will help being in a casino that has poker rooms in and around it.  We will be eating the Wynn buffet, and Chinese at the food court in the Riviera. 

I'd say we have a pretty solid foundation for our trip.  Now the wait begins.  We still have almost 2 months to go.
