You always present yourself in a truly great manner and I know you couldn't do it without the help of your great partner, Enrique! Anyway, you two stay safe and see ya on your next broadcast! PEACE!

Good info... Years ago, I used to bring a couple of stamped, self-addressed envelopes with me, so I could put any significant wins in them and mail back home. (Prevented me from getting into those winnings later in the trip) Now, I normally get my rooms comped (it does not take hardly any amount of gambling to get free rooms, minus the resort fees. To get the resort fees comped, you usually have to get to a mid-level on the players reward card) I charge all of my show tickets on my MGM credit card (you get 3x points on it inside MGM properties). I bill everything else I can to my room, and then ask for a slot host to review my bill before checking out, to see if I can get any back-end comps. Everything that is not comped is paid for on that MGM card so I get the points, which can be used as slot dollars or resort dollars the next trip. I am getting old and do not like walking in the heat, so in the summer, I budget about $200 per day for cabs, tips, drinks that are not comped, etc... For food, we tend to lean towards mid-line stuff, so we hardly ever spend more than $150 per day (averaged out for the trip) As for gambling, three things should dictate how much you bring to Vegas. -- Your income, your debt load, and your tolerance for risk. Personally, I budget $500 per day for gambling. I also budget an extra $500 per day as a reserve gambling budget, since it is no fun being at a casino and not gambling. Basically, if I drop my $500 for the day, then I take at least a 2-3 hour break, and then I will get out the second $500 for the day, and I stick to lower limit bets to make it last longer. At the end of the day, any amount over the $1000 day budget goes into the end-of-trip stash, to be either taken home, or to be used on the last day to go for a big win with higher bet amounts. That is the plan I always start with, but since I am basically a degenerate gambler, I have probably blown through my entire gambling budget by the 2nd day, and I am playing the ATM as if it were a slot machine! 🤣😂 - By the end of the third day, I have probably gone through the food and tip money, and will be asking the homeless folks on the strip to help with cab fare back to the airport by the last day.....🤯 Thank goodness my wife does not gamble, or we could not afford to go. (but then, her spa/massage days tend to run up a questionable debt - I often quiz her if the amount included a couple of cabana boys, since it is so expensive!) 😎😁 We are going for 9 days this summer, (4 nights at Park MGM and then 4 nights at Bellagio) and hope things have improved there since our last trip in May 2022. - (That trip was out first since about 2019 due to the crapvid, and I have to say, the city of sin was not as fun as it used to be, and in fact, was rather depressing. You could not walk more than 50 feet on the strip without encountering an unfortunate homeless person having a rough time in their life. - It really made it hard to be losing a few hundred bucks in the air-conditioned comfort of the casino, knowing that money could possibly make a huge impact on a couple of those souls. This next trip, I will likely add a budget of $50 per day (plus 10% of profited winnings) to try to help some of these poor unfortunates I encounter. - Folks say they will just spend it on drugs or booze, but I guess that decision is always theirs, regardless of where they get cash from. Thanks for the video, Cheers and well wishes to you and your viewers! (I'm not going to wish anyone Good Luck until after our next trip - I probably will need to keep all the luck I can and will not be able to afford to be passing any to others until after that trip!) 🤔

It’s great to go with a plan like that but also good that you allow flexibility in there. It would be terrible to go and not have fun because you blew through the money ! Agreed on charging everything to the room! We have our account linked to Hyatt and use our Hyatt card. We have been squeaking to Gold each year, but because we’re in Vegas so often, those nights at MGM properties have helped us to get globalist status with Hyatt and we get free breakfasts and upgrades at Hyatt properties! And we use points to book. It’s such a win/win!

Great and informative. Sorry for the late comment. I liked it 15 seconds after it was released. All advice I approve. Another tip for money is to go to actual bank ATM. There's a Bank of America ATM on the 4th floor of the m&m store. If boa isn't your back, they will only charge 3 to 3.75. Or if you're with someone that has cash, you can Zelle them the money.

I go twice a year and was there in February for NHL All Star Weekend and FanFest and I'm going again 30 may -3 June, God willing. I usually take the Deuce bus, which if you stay 3 days or longer a $20 pass is available and it goes from The Strip to DTLV. It is wicked slow but it's one of the cheaper options getting around Vegas

Honestly, food is SUPER $$$ . If you have a car, go drive off strip for cheaper food. Ellis Island is right off the strip and has great food. Go to Southpoint Casino for a cheap, delicious buffet. On the strip there are some cheap eats at Planet Hollywood. But cheap food is hard to find.
