Typing this one up from the aircraft residence. This TR is getting began a lot later than standard for me…
Ah, simply bought again from a 2 week lengthy work journey, time to go again to the airport as a result of it is Vegas time! There was 37 nights this yr, of which I’ve spent solely 16 at residence. Time to make that ratio worse this weekend!
I am nonetheless in MGM Jail, form of. Late final month my host texted me asking if I am coming to the Superbowl occasion. “After all not, I am on the MGM blacklist” i assumed. However then I spotted, completely forgetting we had already deliberate a visit to Vegas this weekend with my girlfriends affords, with out realizing it is the Superbowl. So I informed my host I’d be in Vegas, however staying at Luxor with my girlfriend.
To my shock, he mentioned he would get me 2 tickets to the occasion. A reservation for my title at NoMad confirmed up, and I informed him I am not staying there. He mentioned it was only a placeholder reservation for the tickets and he’d take away it later… Properly, it is 24hrs till examine in time and it is nonetheless there. Is that this a means of him subtly saying “I do know you are backed off however I can nonetheless do issues” or simply fully oblivious? Who is aware of.
However, again to the matter at hand. The Purple Panda (my girlfriend) has some WHOPPING MGM Presents… $50 Freeplay, $100 resort credit score, (and no resort charges as a result of Platinum). So we’re staying in a primary pyramid room at Luxor. Cannot even ask for an improve on the VIP lounge as a result of she will not get in till midnight.
She has round $500 of MGM Reward Factors constructed up. The plan is to do round 3k Theo on her card, and a bit of bit on mine. She used to have first rate affords, however after a few journeys of burning MGM, together with displaying a $14,000+ win, her affords completely bottomed out. Like she must pay resort charges at Excalibur unhealthy. So hopefully we will slowly rebuild her. Sadly it isn’t price investing an excessive amount of as a result of she will’t (learn: will not) come almost as usually as me, and I am unable to use her affords with out her being there. In concept I can add my title to the room within the app, however each time we have tried I have been informed I am unable to room cost till we go to the entrance desk. Mixed with the danger of Freeplay not loading, it isn’t price it sadly.
The one strong plans for this journey are going to Tender steakhouse Saturday evening, and the Superbowl occasion at Park MGM on Sunday. (Go Chiefs?) Apart from that, in all probability gonna eat modestly and never spend an excessive amount of as a result of I am uncertain we’ll get any backend comps… as a result of she positive will not be asking for them even when we have now the Theo to take action.
