Looks like the first day of inclement weather has arrived as predicted. Mind you I am looking at weather app as it’s only 5 am and still dark for a while . Cloudy and drizzle expected all day and a little cooler maybe. Slept very well but cold continues to rumble along , not getting worse, not getting better. Today of course could get a whole lot better if a notification received during night is true. I suspect it is a glitch as makes no sense but will have to wait for rewards desk to open up
I did have a couple of drinks last night and used my card but don’t recall ordering two cases of Dom Perignon 🤔
Unless I am heading off on a free cruise at 10 am looks like a day to explore inside some casinos and hopefully a little less crowded although with Vegas not sure that ever happens . Will have breakfast just downstairs at Delights which opens at 7 am. Usual big breakfast of course and was very good but bought half home for dinner. Well, if you serve potatoes at breakfast you have to expect this 😂
Time then to check on my status at Rewards desk. When they didn’t roll out red carpet on arrival I smelled a rat. “ Sir, did you redeem a receipt yesterday “? “ Yep for $14” “Ah, I see what has happened the cashier has entered 1,400,000 points accidentally rather than 140” “So what are you saying ……..
No cruise then . Time to venture out for an Irish Coffee on a day of Irish weather then. I knew RiRa at Mandalay served one so started at Excalibur which is attached by walkway to MGM. Obviously they already knew I was coming
The beauty of this place is there is then a free tram to Mandalay Bay. Had my coffee which was ordinary of course but staff were great. Fair to say they don’t understand difference between Rugby and League . I loved the automatic dish collector 😂
The Mandalay Bay setup is great with plenty of shops and a 10 min walk to Allegiant stadium. There is also a Tattoo parlour there. In case I return home with one understand it was a sober decision maybe to celebrate last solo trip to USA …….apparently . Flash, a lightning bolt and 66 maybe 🤔 Great statue of Ali too. The things you find
It was drizzling rain but was determined to check out Ally Giant stadium #Roy&HG to see if any big promos. Rolled around every 5 mins . Then it was time to head back to House of Blues – next to Tattoo parlour – for a beer and a breather and maybe….
Back home then to have a Stromboli for lunch as remember loving them last time. Can only get a super size drink.
“Yes Sir but only $1 more than a regular “
“ Can I get a regular.then “?
“No”
So how do you price the regular 🤦🏻♂️
Good routine now , weather independent . Breakfast ( always big😏) on site and then head out for a few hours. Back home to talk to my honeybuns at midday so she doesn’t fret ❤️ Back out after 1pm for a couple more hours of fun and frivolity and then back for a breather before heading downstairs to an MGM bar or two around 5 pm for a couple of relaxers. Back for bath ( best bath ever), dinner and sleep. Rinse and repeat . Mind you if Thursday is nice weather may be spent by the pool.
Ok Plan A was blown away by the weather . Took the foot bridge to NYNY and saw a bar Pour 24 that had a happy hour form midday. Sat down , met some Canadians and 5 hrs later crawled home full as a state school hat rack . Good night
