September 19, 2018 I spent about an hour at the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. I received a free ticket by playing the MyVegas app. It was nice, fun to walk through. If you’ve been to SeaWorld or the zoo you’ve probably already seen things like it. I enjoyed it, but I would not pay…

Vegas – Menopause the Musical
September 19, 2018 Tonight I went to see the show Menopause the Musical at Harrah’s Las Vegas. I got it free as a monthly Diamond show. Another perk of being a Caesars Diamond member is that you get two free show tickets every month. OMG, it was awesome! I think I laughed the whole show…
Boarshead Bar, Main Street Station
September 20, 2018 Woke up early again this morning, thanks jetlag. I might relax in the room a bit this morning (ya right! I’ll be in the casino shortly. Lol) I’m planning to head to Fremont Street today. Maybe Boarshead Bar at Main Street Station will treat me better on video poker! I have a…
My Last Day in Vegas
September 21, 2018 Sadly it’s my last day. I’m trying to decide what to do. My gambling budget is getting low so it may have to be nickel slots, unless I cave and hit the ATM. A relaxing morning and room service sounds pretty darn good. I have not treated myself to that yet. Also,…
The End of a Vegas Trip
September 22, 2018 Good morning Las Vegas, for the last time this trip. I am sitting at the airport eating a bagel and coffee and waiting to board. Always sad to leave but my body says, “Ummm you need to rest those joints!” LOL What an awesome week, and I know I already have another…
2-Night GetAway! Prep Time!
July 10, 2018 Since it’s still 2 months until Vegas, I planned a quick 2-night trip locally. Mama (or I guess Grandmama now ) needs some action! Yes! I’m going to be a grandma! I’m heading to a couple of “local-ish” casinos. And around here anything decent that’s local is still almost a 3-hour drive. Tomorrow…
Harrah’s Casino Joliet, Illinois
July 11, 2018 Good morning! I am finishing up at home and hoping to be on the road within the hour. My first win of this trip is that I got a new car last week. No more listening to weird noises and wondering when my car will get me stuck! On another note, DH…
Harrah’s Joliet Room and Dinner
July 11, 2018 After leaving the Mississippi Stud table, I went to get checked in. The rooms here are decent. If anyone is considering Joliet, I’ll add some pictures of the room. There is plenty of room, a desk, couch, fridge and coffee maker. That’s a win! I was able to get a Premium room….
Four Winds Casino, New Buffalo Michigan
July 12, 2018 I played a bit more here at Harrah’s. I’m not hitting anything here so I’m packing up and driving over to Four Winds. I will post some pics of the room, etc for anyone who is thinking of going. I made it to Four Winds. It’s been almost a year since I…
Time to Head Home
July 13, 2018 Good morning all my Vegas peeps! I’m checked out of the room. I may try a few hands of video poker before the long drive home. I’ll do a wrap up tonight! I played for just a bit, but nothing much to report. It’s time to get on the road home. Well,…
Harrah’s Laughlin, Pre-Trip
June 10, 2018 This is my first trip to Harrah’s Laughlin, Nevada and my first time on a Total Rewards Air trip, and my first trip report! Lots of firsts here, and I hope I will do it justice and not bore anyone! Feel free to give me trip report tips. My flight leaves at…
Ready For Take-Off!
June 10, 2018 I’m at the airport. Way early but I was trying to drive in between thunderstorms. Didn’t get wet but now I wait. Grabbed a sandwich from some natural food stand. Chicken salad sandwich for 7.50. This is what I got! So I went back and asked if that’s all you get for…
I’m Here! Harrah’s Laughlin!
June 10, 2018 We just landed. Got right onto a bus and on our way to Harrah’s. And yes, I believe I was one of the youngsters. LOL. The flight was uneventful. We left on time, landed early! A bit bumpy at first because of storms at home. We did get a free adult beverage….
Time to Get My Gamble On!
June 11, 2018 I’m starting off OK. At the bar with a Lemon Drop martini. It’s not Chandelier Bar grade, but good. Put $100 in a triple play game. It’s Bonus Poker at 6/5, ugh! But oh well. I get down to $40, then a 4oak! And dealt flush. I’m back to even. I Switch…
My First Full Day in Laughlin
June 11, 2018 My first morning here! It’s beautiful here, but HOT! The temps should reach 112 degrees today. But it’s a DRY HEAT!! I played some more video poker this morning, but couldn’t get a whole lot. I hit aces on bonus poker but nothing else, and I gave most of it back. I…
