Friday Day 1
Flight from Orlando to Milwaukee to Las Vegas on Midwest Airlines. Flight was on time and departed at the scheduled time....this was extremely important because my connection for the flight to Las vegas was so close to our arrival time, arrived at 3:40p departed at 4:05. Gates were right next to each other, so a hop, skip and a jump.... we%26#39;re already boarding for Vegas. No time to think about the -14 temps outside. No worries here, everything was smooth sailing. First time on Midwest Airlines, very basic, no frills, no music, no movies, I guess the warm,freshly baked chocolate chip cookies made up for it. Our 1st trip, 3 years ago, on JetBlue had all the frills, music, movies, etc. No big deal, slept most of the way, anyway!
Arrived at McCarran earlier than expected and headed straight to the Rental car center and the Thrifty parking garage. I was chuckling inside as I bypassed the counter and went directly to the parking garage.
Well, the laugh was on me. As it turned out, none of the contracts were ready so we ended up having to wait even longer because there was only one person in the Blue Chip booth. Oh well, got our Charger and off we went.
Stayed at HGVC, used Hilton honors points for 2 nights there. Not too crazy about the location, north strip, We%26#39;re definitely happy about having the car. Parking was NOT free, $13/day valet, $11/day self park. There was a fitness center but didn%26#39;t use it. Happily took a break from the gym this weekend!!
Room.....1 Bedroom with kitchen, washer %26amp; dryer, jacuzzi tub. View of parking garage %26amp; Stratosphere.
After check-in, took a shower, freshened up. Ready to hit the town. Decided to check out Bellagio since we missed it our 1st trip. Signed up for the Players card, tried to use the free credit in the slot machines but not a good combination, hunger, fatigue, and 1st time gamblers. Step 1....We couldn%26#39;t even figure out which machines were progressive. After a few tries, still couldn%26#39;t figure the darn thing out, decided to go get something to eat.
Went to Yellowtail, really good sushi, nice ambience, decided to eat at the bar, didn%26#39;t want to wait on a table. Hubby made me do a jaeger bomb on an empty stomach, so in minutes I was sh8tfaced, I know, I know, one shot is nothing, I have very low tolerance, one wine cooler and I%26#39;m seeing double. Hubby calls me a cheap date.
Buzz wore off soon after eating, had seaweed salad, spicy tuna rolls, yellowtail %26amp; scallion rolls. Yummy!! Met some nice people, had a long conversation with a guy sitting next to us, he was celebrating his birthday alone, his girlfriend had to leave Vegas due to a family emergency back home.
After dinner, we decide to go to Spearmint Rhino. Thanks to my Iphone, used GPS and we were there in no time. Beautiful women everywhere, we got a private dance and this girl was all over me, her boobies were smacking my face. We%26#39;ve gone to strip clubs many times %26amp; I enjoy seeing them dance %26amp; doing the pole tricks, but she got a little carried away, face in my crotch, boobies in my face. I was slightly uncomfortable. Hubby loved it, a little girl on girl action.
Moving right along, Left there about 2am, got back to the room, everything wreaked of cigarette smoke, threw all the smelly clothes in the washing machine. Thank goodness for the washing machine!! By the time I got showered etc, it was like 4am.
Saturday Day 2
Up by 7am, only 3 hours sleep, my system is still on Eastern time, hate it when that happens. Carpe diem, so off we go, go to cafe downstairs for small breakfast, coffee %26amp; muffin.
Went to ';In n out'; burger for lunch, we don%26#39;t have that chain in Florida. Very juicy(greasy) burger, just what I expected, I left there feeling fat %26amp; happy. Now I can cross that off my bucket list.
Went back to take a nap, very comfy bed.

Cont%26#39;d Day 2
Got dressed for dinner, Went to the the Hilton casino to blow our courtesy $70 casino chips. Used the slot machines and lost it all within minutes, Easy come, Easy go.
We%26#39;re hungry and decide to eat at the Cafe Paradise, which reminds me of an old diner. Got the chicken caesar salad %26amp; hubby got the turkey dinner. Very uneventful really, server was nice but no real ambience.
Still very early in the evening and drove to Mirage to look around, very nice. The dolphin habitat was already closed. Had zero interest in gambling so we stopped at Stack to get drinks and dessert. I got the pot apple pie w/ pecan icecream. DELICIOUS!!! Waiter forgot to say ';be careful this plate is hot';, and I burned my fingers on the metal ';pot';. Enjoyed the HOT apple pie immensely so didn%26#39;t even mention the burnt fingers to the waiter.
After our yummy dessert we decide to go clubbing. There was an incredibly long line for Jet and the average age group looks like young 20%26#39;s. Left Mirage about 11pm and went to MGM. Danced the night away at Tabu, really nice atmosphere and 30%26#39;s crowd. Stayed until 3am. Great night!!
3rd/ Last day
Check out of HGVC and check into the Wynn. What an impressive place. OUr room isn%26#39;t ready, it%26#39;s only 10:30am, so we decide to get breakfast at the famous buffet, the line is crazy, an employee walks by to control the line and I overhear him saying it%26#39;s about 1 1/2 hour wait to get seated. There is NO WAY I%26#39;m waiting that long to eat!! So we decide to find a pancake place nearby. We end up at Denny%26#39;s right down the road and there is a 20 minute wait. Granted, this is not the five star breakfast buffet I was hoping for but I had a good, cheap, fast breakfast.
By the end of breakfast our room is ready and we head back to the Wynn.
Resort room with a strip view. This is a FANTASTIC room, nice decor, well appointed....they have thought of every detail!! Loved it!!
Went downstairs to sign up for the red card, got $10 free credit but this time we have our wits about us and soon we are playing the slots.
I actually was lucky here, won $65 on their dime, hubby lost all his. Looked around the Wynn, absolutely beautiful place. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
Dinner at the buffet, great selections and delicious food. Wanted to make this an early night so we ordered dessert in the room. Went to bed!!
Off to McCarran by 8:30am for my 9:24am flight, checked in online and had no baggage so went directly to Thrifty to return our car with 3/4 tank. Got charged $6.99/gallon because I forgot to fill the tank!!! Expensive lesson!!
Another amazing time in Vegas. Can%26#39;t wait for the next visit.

Thanks for your TR, sims1219! Will stay at the Wynn for the first time in March and was just wondering: did you have to sign up for the Red Card or was your room key the Red Card as well... I thought I had read this was the case at Wynn from previous posts.
Your room key is your red card, but they couldn%26#39;t issue me a room key because I checked in so early before my room was ready. So I just got the red player card while waiting for my room. Once the room # is assigned you can take the card back to the red desk and they%26#39;ll assign the room # to your card.
sims...I have been wanting a female opinion...
DH %26amp; I are looking to hit a strip club in Vegas.
Have you been to others in Vegas that you would recommend?
Thanks
Both times I%26#39;ve been to Vegas we went to Spearmint Rhino. It%26#39;s not on the strip though but, if you call them you can arrange for a limo pickup from your hotel. We had a car so we just drove there but the place is filled with 100%26#39;s of very beautiful women. If you can find a table you can just sit %26amp; watch them dance, walk by or on the stages all around the club. You don%26#39;t have to get a lap dance if you don%26#39;t want to, Both times we went we had a really good time. I certainly would recommend it.
Thanks for your TR! Lots of good stuff! It sounds like you had a great time!
