Routed@66- Day 6

Posted: February 18, 2024 in Uncategorized

Shocking nights sleep with street noise and assholes next door coming and going until 130 am. Glad to be leaving this place . There may be room noise in Vegas but should be no street noise on floor 29 – the F1 has finished right ? First concern dealt with as the hotel and my reckoning of bill agrees if not in the value for money caper . Now for an Uber to airport way too early but that’s how I fly baby. At this stage flight on time at midday but flying AA always a bit more adventurous 😏

Certainly sickening for something if somewhat slowly. Would rather it got bad quickly and passed. A simple cold with the symptoms which always seems to happen on holidays OS now. Uber was quick and reasonably priced at $40 plus tip. Kerbside bag drop works well at AA Terminal 4 – $4 fee and then tip guy another $5 to make sure your bag doesn’t end up in Nantucket ! Still worth it not to have to line up with GU inside. Never quite know which contributes more at which stage for AA but Qantas Silver and Qantas Club membership does get some perks. Priority pass through customs and of course entry to Admirals Club – not Flagship Lounge which happened last time with cane 😂 And yes I did bring it just in case 🚶🏻‍♂️ Have to say the ankle has been great this trip and I have walked a lot . The club is fine with limited food options but enough to sustain. With these coffee machines I always do the espresso first and then cappuccino in same cup. Works well

MGM are big on using their app to manage everything including digital key on phone once checked in which I did 22 hrs ago. At that stage they were “preparing my room “ which they still are now which must mean they are painting it ! Of course the AA app is great as also tells you which flight your plane is doing before yours. Helps us little anal Annies relax a bit more . Mine is coming from Chicago and on time. Also includes bag tracking 👍🏻 Now where is that bar . Hey it’s 9 am . Just following medical orders, honest.

Still another 90 mins to boarding so time to find a quiet spot . Approached a smaller lounge and called out “ Any other Manly Supporters here “? Works every time . Room cleared . Here is one I prepared now.

Good flight had us in Vegas right on time and bag didnt take long to arrive either. Taxis were all waiting and $25 fixed rate . Had received notification room was ready and had digital key so really straight to room and unpack. It’s a great room too on 29 th floor with views of Sphere .

Booteeful afternoon and may well be best day of week so headed out amongst the crowds. First stop was Brewdog which is a fantastic 3 level beer haven including rooftop. Had a beer and then as 3 O Clock thought May as well have a burger as Lunner
