I am calling this the EXMIRAZA trip due to my plans to stay at Excalibur, Mirage and the Plaza.
My son Michael, his girlfriend Terin and I piled into Terin’s mom minivan and she drove us across the border Tuesday night. We had a border guard with a sense of humour and had no issues getting across. Then she drove us to the Comfort Inn by Detroit Metro airport. The room was fairly grubby in spots. The restaurant I ate at was awful. But I did like the 5 am breakfast buffet and the free shuttle over to the airport at 5:30 am. Our Frontier flight was on time and without incident except for me having a bout of nausea halfway through. Shout out to Cindy on Frontier Flight 2131 for being so kind and helpful to me this morning. The nausea passed and I had wheelchair assistance help us get around LAS and collect the luggage. We grabbed a Lyft to the Horseshoe at around 11:30.
I was thrilled to see Diamond check in still intact so I parked the kids and went to check in. The extremely pleasant hostess was kind enough to upgrade our room. The kids were pretty thrilled with the jacuzzi suite so that made me very happy!
Next I wanted to buy them lunch with my points and in a one to one manner if possible. One of the places still doing that is the new Bobby Flays in Paris. We managed to spend 94 dollars on three burgers, three onion rings, two milkshakes and a pop. It is like a bougie McDonalds.
After we ate I took my leave of Mike and Terin and Ubered over to the Excalibur. I was a little overwhelmed at the size of their checkin area but they pointed out to me that there was a special “disabled desk” so that was helpful. I got all checked into the Royal Tower. Not sure why they are giving me a free room but I will accept it gratefully. The room itself is not fancy but it is fine. My only issue so far is the combo of plane and elevator noises, and the sheer horror of the number of yelling children in this place. Oh well. I will survive!
I slept for three hours to recuperate from the day. I will likely venture downstairs to the casino soon.
