This year was too alluring to pass up when myVEGAS offered special two-night hotel rewards for select nights between March and June, including at Vdara, which normally does not offer any free rooms from myVEGAS. So that was all the convincing we needed to start planning another Spring Break trip for this year. We booked Vdara for Sunday, April 9 through Tuesday, April 11.

CrazyAssHumans, yep that's right, that's what this website is all about. So no better place to start this annual March trip to Las Vegas than at the airport. You can see all types in Las Vegas but the airport is a great viewing platform to observe quirks, abnormalities, normality, obsessions, fears, I could go on and on.

It started with the unfriendly curbside SWA bag check dude. He had the personality of a wet mop. The best part is I tipped him five bucks...

Come on, y'all. Let's take a ride. It's time for Geotwink and I to head west for a few days. Flight from MSP leaving at 8:25, right about the time the alma mater Cyclones face off against the Frank Purdue Boilerchickens. Hopefully the Delta sled will be a newer model with TV's so I can keep all the youngin's awake with my shameless cheering.

Say, Las Vegas, for instance. That’s how this trip started, when I found some good “Hot Deal” times available for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I had absolutely no plan to go to Vegas, but then I realized Wednesday night was available free at Monte Carlo from myVEGAS, and I could get a few free meals that way, too. Suddenly I...

With a little under a week to go the excitement is real ready for my next trip to Lost Wages. I've not been to the promised land since June so it's a long 6 month absence, my wife hasn't accompanied me since the trip before so for her is been even longer!

As many of you know , Brexit has caused the Pound to fall harder than the self esteem of any of Donald Trumps lovers. As a result we're taking our biggest ever BR, we're bucking the trend and going for a blow out on the basis...

Normally I drive up in my Tesla but it's in for service. They had no loaners available, so I get a free rental, a QX80. Not a bad ride and they reimburse for fuel.

For those that cannot be in Vegas for New Years Eve I feel it is my duty, and the duty of others who are there, to put you in the game. And so here is a TR from Vegas for New Years that will be live, drunk, full of questionable choices with a side order of poor decisions.

I had planned to go to Whitefish Montana for the weekend and in fact only cancelled my hotel there last week. My girlfriend who is known here as JR...

However, due to various circumstances, she doesn’t officially begin working until later this month (January). So while mulling this over a couple days after Christmas, it dawned on me that with her taking on a new five-day-a-week responsibility, the prospect of future trips to Vegas is questionable at best for the near future.

I'm going primarily to have a look at the Wynn Palace and the Sands Parisien Hotels that have just opened on Cotai.

For those that aren't familiar to Macau and the gaming scene there, here are some facts that I can recall, and this is ONLY my opinion and shouldn't be taken as 100% factual:

Macau has 3 islands, the Central Town, Taipa and...

We're down to single digits for the Big Fall Trip! Got things off to an early start in one of my twice yearly visits to the Flusherville Casino. It's so dismal with such lousy VP that I rarely go there.
