Treat yourself to a spa day as part of this trip. You will not regret it. Have made a sports massage along with time in the spa pools etc part of my routine every time I go and honestly feel so relaxed after.

Hopefully get to catch up when I land start of April

I will either do a spa day or will go to Henderson on Friday for a wildlife/photo tour depending on how my sleep will look like. My guess is that I will be exhausted because I have a mega early flight, have to leave for the airport at 3:30 am and there is a huge town fiesta where I live this week with parties and fireworks until the morning so the chance of sleep is essentially zero.

When will you arrive in April? I’m there until the evening on the 4th

Landing 1st April around 8pm. I am only around to the 5th myself so is just a short trip for me.

I am leaving very late on the 3rd of April.

4 days is a short trip indeed, even for a Brit with direct flights!



My flight tomorrow morning [emoji24][emoji24]


Is the travel from Spain any easier than from Malta?

He has to go the wrong way right off the bat, to Amsterdam.

I see a double handful of sleeping pills in Muck's future.

It’s exactly the same, I always connect through Amsterdam both from Malta and Spain. From Malta it’s 3.5 hours and from Spain 2.5 hours.

On a map Malta looks closer to me.

It really depends on how you look at it, are you looking at Spain in general or Valencia? In terms of miles Valencia is 400 miles closer to Amsterdam than Malta.


far as i can tell you have the perfect mindset for this, a venture
calm, in control, and self-regulated

It might seem like that but I’m the furthest someone can be from a perfect mindset unfortunately. It’s 5 am at the airport and I wanted to just cancel last night. I’ll probably take a couple of days off after I land to recover both mentally and physically.


Not a bad idea. Take a hike, eat some nice meals off-strip. Heck, I love to just relax in the room with a bottle of wine and takeout watching a good movie knowing that I don't have to worry about chores, picking up, etc.


Arrived in Vegas, trip was really smooth although I’m pretty exhausted.

Random plane view over Canada:


And the room at Nomad which is now The Reserve. Wow!





That is Nomad? Looks unique by Vegas styling standards

Yup! Grande suite.


Where is the Nomad?


by pig4bill m

Where is the Nomad?

It’s the top floor of the Park MGM. It’s the same as Park MGM but for some reason it’s called Nomad

Ah, kinda like Mandalay Bay which was built as one hotel, but was split up into 3 or 4 hotels in the same building.


Depression over, WHAT THE ****!!!!!




That is royally SICK πŸ˜€ Congrats to MuckPls for that bankroll infusion.


Oh my f'ing god that is amazing! Also what a sign from whatever to say have a good time. So pleased for you!


I’m in my room and literally cannot believe it! When they came to cash me out and handle papers I couldn’t speak. Sick thing is that I dreamt about literally this scenario TWICE the past week.

Anyway, this will be an INSANE two weeks and I will bury myself in 1/3 like never before.



Wowzers! Great start!!!!!!!!!!!


You were WAY due.

Congrats!!


Wow! Very happy for you
