Calculated total trip cost here to Vegas at around $190, driving. Flight and trips to/from airport and resort and home at least $300, bare minimum. It's just a matter of time vs money. #BirthdayVegas

So now that the cheap base room is booked, we can troll around all the other resorts seeing if a reasonable better room pops up before April. But looking at rates now I don't think it's happnin'. #BirthdayVegas

Was able to rebook at NYNY, at only $100 for 5 nights. I'll drive in in the morning and have four full days in town. Offers went up a bit, got my $100 in RC back along with $30 in FP so they're actually paying me to stay. #BirthdayVegas

Actually spent MORE in the past month than I did in December, which included a Vegas trip, FFS. Got to get it under control or I'll never have enough for #BirthdayVegas

Never really did the math of the true cost of flying to Vegas. Assuming a $200 round trip flight, you still have to add all the Ubers and taxis to and from airports and resorts; it's like $350 minimum. May make driving a lot more attractive, at least once a year. #BirthdayVegas
