This part is hard...

Total first world problem but... I miss Vegas! My husband and I LOVE Las Vegas. We usually go 4+ times every year. We gamble, we eat, we walk, we talk, we make fun of the tourists and the cost of food, we rank the buffets (based on a completely arbitrary scale of Way Worse than the Wynn, Worse than the Wynn, almost as good as the Wynn, and Oh My Gosh This Might be Better than the Wynn).

Interestingly, Vegas is one of the few places where we BOTH relax. We are out constantly, which he loves. We are constantly doing things, which I love. We stay up late, we lose track of time, we gamble, we don't worry about money because we consider it entertainment cost, work mostly leaves us alone, we usually win enough to keep losing... ahhh, Vegas.

We have platinum status at the M-Life casinos - MGM Grand, Bellagio, Aria, etc. This year was a little different; the points get locked in in September, and that is your status for the rest of the year. Your status also sets the level of how quickly you earn points. One of our favorite perks is all the cutting in line you can do with platinum status, since we hate standing around for any reason when there is gambling to be done. Taxi! Head of the line. Buffet! Head of the line. You get the gist. Anyway, this year we didn't do our usual Aug/Sept point frenzy trip to hit platinum status. We had enough for gold for the following year, and we had our big birthday trip coming up so we decided not to do it. You may call this cheating, but.... we still have our platinum cards, which means we can still cut in line. I call that a win-win! And no matter how much we love Vegas, Europe > Vegas by like a lot.

But now here we are - back from our big trip for over a month, a move looming in the near distance, and it would be ridiculously foolish to spend the time and money on a Vegas trip. Foolish!! But I'm starting to get that itch, that go to Vegas itch... What to do? If I tell my hubby I'm worried he'll talk me into doing it!!
