Vegas Rewards Programs Questions - Chase Mlife Gold or Caesars Diamond next week?

Would someone give me the clearest, current lowdown about how Vegas and comped benefits really work for people willing to visit 2-3 times a year and drop a grand or two each time? I am both MLife Pearl and Caesars Platinum (well, 100 tier credits away), and can easily chase the next level this month. Should I chase one or both and why? Legitimate, polished answers I promise to visit this year if you have a local business that applies to me.
Specific questions:
-Over NYE week, can’t recall if technically 2019 or 2020, a lady at Mandalay Bay’s MLife center “gave” me $150 in credit to use at a restaurant. Did she deduct that from some invisible account of mine or directly from my rewards credits or how did that work? Was she mad I was staying at Caesars and trying to woo me back over? I spent equally between MGM and Caesars properties. I MUCH prefer MGM hotels’ styles and designs, namely Delano, Vdara, Aria, Bellagio is traditional but gorgeous… but one year I did more gambling at Caesars just to see what might happen and the room offers were MUCH better. While not a perfect experiment with a control group, I believe the amount spent was equal to my previous year at MGM properties. I also like how Caesar’s tells you directly all of the benefits for each tier hit, MGM either gives less or is more under wraps about the true benefits? I can go next week and easily hit Caesar’s Diamond by taking advantage of their 5x Tier Credits promo for slot and table spending. I estimate it will cost less than $1000 since already at Platinum. But I am also more than halfway to MLife Gold.
Caesar’s Platimum promises no resort fees which is EVERYTHING, 2 nights in Dubai if I fly myself there, which I could, a $100 dinner, some line skipping which is silly but considering how unstaffed some of their areas are, this may actually have some value, and laurel lounge access (though with all my gambling I still don’t have THAT many credits so I don’t know if you can also use cash to get in?), a free stay at Atlantis in the Bahamas, I used to work cruise ships so this doesn’t thrill me but hey…, and a Wyndham tier status match which would be nice… as well as useless discounts and free parking which now everyone gets. And then “1 free night in Las Vegas or Atlantic City for every 5,000 Tier Credits earned in 2020, up to 7 nights” which I have no idea if I have used or not… did my free 2 bathroom suite stay over NYE count as part of these 7 and was that from this year or last year or a combo?
MLife Gold promises discounts, room upgrades subject to availability, which could mean anything, and some line skipping. Meh???
Why the big differences/disparity?
Also…
When I get comped room nights, are those coming out of some database under my account or are they linked to something, and if so, what? Money spent? Or just tier status? Is it a secret? Do the rooms work like money too… i.e. if I take 3 free nights in an amazing suite will I get no more offers or I can take 20 days in a “less ideal” room i.e. Luxor pyramid / Bally’s?
And how do I know those are, or aren’t, coming out of my free rooms earned bank from above in regards to being Caesar’s Diamond?
Lastly…
I’ve also never used any “Gift” Points, are those really actually worth anything legit and worth going back to Vegas in NovembeDecember for?

MLife versus Caesars - Which to chase next week and why?

Summer Splash Las Vegas 2017 Review (x-post from r/EDM)

I've seen a few posts (1,2,3) mentioning or asking about an event called Summer Splash Las Vegas. I attended this year and thought I would provide a full review and AMA since I couldn't find any reviews elsewhere online. It's a multi-week event in (you guessed it) Las Vegas, Nevada in the US featuring a variety of different EDM artists performing at various pool and club venues.
I attended Week 2 this year (2017 for those reading in the future) and had a great time. The lineup can be found here for now but I'm sure it won't be around long so here it is:
The schedule consisted of 2 performances per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The morning events usually opened their doors around 10 AM and the evening events did so around 10 PM. However, as you might expect, the headliner did not perform until several hours after the doors opened. Typically, the morning events had the headliner start anywhere from 2 PM to 4 PM with the venue closing around 6 PM and the evening events had the headliner start around 2 AM with the venue closing around 4 AM.
Summer Splash lists recommended arrival times for each event and I found them to be both helpful and accurate. It's not necessary to arrive when the doors open because Summer Splash has a separate entrance for every event allowing you to skip the normal entrance lines which were sometimes dozens of people long. However, the venues reach capacity quickly as Summer Splash states and arriving about 2 hours after the doors open is usually as far as you can go before risking the doors to close as the venue gets full.
The cost of the package for myself was about $600 including taxes and fees for 5 nights (Wednesday - Sunday). I was staying with 1 other person and they paid about $100 less because the rates for women are discounted. The price goes down for each person with more people in your group and the longer you stay. You can choose anywhere from 2 to 5 nights and up to 10 people (in which case you get a much larger room of course). My room had 2 queen beds and was perfectly adequate. The stay was at the MGM Grand which I could easily write a separate review about but suffice it to say it's an impressively large hotel with some great restaurants contained within. You can easily get everything you need in the hotel including drinks, snacks and meals.
The package includes the stay at the hotel as well as admission into all of the events on the schedule. The events are open to the public but this is where you really get a lot for your money. I asked several people at different events how much they paid to get in and depending on the event, I heard anywhere from $50 to $100+ just to get into one event. The nightclub events are particularly expensive. The ticket price for Zedd was about $115 according to the Omnia nightclub website on the day of the performance.
Finally, everything in Vegas is obnoxiously expensive. A Bud Light (pretty much the cheapest beer most places) was $11 - $13 depending on the venue. Bring cash and expect to pay $50 or more for a large mixed drink, often sold in a souvenir cup. Buy some drinks in the hotel or along the strip to pregame before the events. The performances were a blast and it was probably the closest I've ever been to these artists performing so it really is worth it.
Some tips:
Here are some pictures to get an idea of the crowds and venues: https://imgur.com/gallery/VRLMn
Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.

SHOT 2018/My tales of adventure in Las Vegas

So, you wanna go to SHOT show? You think it's all fun and games? Get to play with guns? See Jesse James and R. Lee Ermey? SHOT show is the annual pilgrimage of the unwashed masses to Las Vegas to rub elbows with youtube celebrities, bloggers and overseas businessmen copying US made equipment and share infectious disease.
If you love guns, gambling and gonorrhea - SHOT show is for you! It is not my typical idea of a good time. I am not a big fan of Las Vegas.
However: I do attend for a few reasons. First, I do enjoy travel and I'm platinum on AA so I can usually score an upgrade. Second, industry people are in there that I do hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars with business with so it's nice to put a face with the name and see what deals are out there. SHOT for me has been a bust for the past few years. Being a value guy, I want to buy at $1000 and sell at $3000 and as of recently the gun business is more like buy for $1 and sell for $1.10 if you get what I mean.
We used to do business at SHOT and now it's just checking in on foursquare, instagram and rubbing elbows with bloggers and the like. I want to make money, not spend money so this is very annoying to me.
Anyways, onto the play by play.
Monday, January 22nd. One day before SHOT show.
The TSA line is a shitshow thanks to, well TSA. I have pre check and breeze right through.
I slog my way to the lounge, as shitty as it is to wait for my winged chariot to DFW. I have gone from being in an abusive relationship with Delta to being in an abusive relationship with AA. Although if you really want to experience the battered spouse feeling, UA is a few gates over.
I board my flight to Dallas/FW and my Renton assembled chariot is having a problem with one of the ring laser gyros, the hate agent tells us we are delayed for an indeterminate amount of time. Even as an AA Plat, I have no cleared upgrades. I am number 4 on the list with one seat open to Dallas/FW. I am 39/61 for Dallas/FW to LAX.
Fuck my life.
I gate check my bags to make life easier for me and the rest of the folks slumming it. If I don't have to worry about being short on time, I like to gate check to free up bins for those who are not as fortunate. Eventually I board and ask the FA to say hi to the captain and get a ride report. Light chop all over north texas today and we're going to take the long way around the field due to wind.
Me: I guess it's true. Dallas always does seem to blow a little harder in the postseason...
CA: Hahhahaha
FO: You got that right! Go eagles!
Having brightened the day of the flight crew, I head back to my MCE seat in Y and kick back and relax by listening to my Rumours, my favorite fleetwood mac album on my ipod.
We land at Dallas an hour and a half late eating into my 4 hour spa layover I had planned. I hightail it to the Centurion lounge in terminal D, my home away from home. Thankfully I don't need a massage since I brought my friend Laura some homemade chocolate rice crispy squares and she gave me a one hour massage and gave me a happy ending.
I grab a plate and help myself to some of the excellent chicken and some mashed red potatoes and bacon It is cheesy and DELICIOUS. Between that and the poblano rice, I can feel it going straight to my thighs. No, I do not care. NOM NOM NOM
https://imgur.com/a/WBcyd
The lounge is packed. The bar is full and I grab a quick single malt as I have my meal since American's not going to feed me. They begin boarding to LAX as I walk out of the lounge. I make it to the gate and the entire plane has boarded because the screens say they are boarding group 9.
Giving the FA a friendly nod, I ask to say hi to the captain and I stride through J and say hello to the two gentlemen flying today. Aviation nerd protip: CHECK YOUR ROUTING!
I didn't, but I had a hunch since arriving from the east we'd get the ANJLL 1 or the HLYWD 1 arrival. I got a 50/50 shot. Let's see how good I am.
Drop my bags at the threshold, poke my head in.
Me: Howdy guys, we still looking good for the Hollywood 1 tonight?
CA: Man, you did your homework yes we are! GABBL transition as a matter of fact!
Damn I'm good.
FC: Nice! I know you guys take a rash of crap from drunk Parker so I like to say hello to the folks who do the heavy lifting and I'm a total airplane dork so it's cool to check the place out.
CA: I'm an airplane dork too! I'm Jeff Rowland, nice to meet ya!
SUPER nice guy. He gave me a tour of the airplane, even took a picture of me in the left seat.
https://imgur.com/a/xVIy6
Here he is showing me some stuff around the airplane. He gives me the grand tour of the 787-9 including this neat feature that actually measures how many G's they have on landing so they know whether or not they need an overweight landing inspection or not. AMAZING airplane. I'm shown all the bells and whistles and they tell me how fun the plane is to fly. Jeff takes a few pics of me in the best seat of the house. I tell the guys I'll see them at the in and out burger on Sepuldeva and I hike back to my seat in W.
The FA's were wondering where I was, and they gave away my assigned seat. I take an empty center aisle seat and make life easier for everyone. W in the 787-9 is a solid hard product. The BE Aerospace MI-Q seat is a good ride whether in it for 3 hours to LAX or 13 to CDG like I was in a few months ago. https://imgur.com/a/iPHVh
The boarding door closes for an on time departure and I watch another airplane movie - American Made with Tom Cruise. He's so dreamy. Jeff's PA's were really lame and had a whole bunch of people laughing in the back on the way to LA. The flight was not long enough. The landing is a perfect grease job on 24L and we await a tug to get towed into gate 41 at LAX. I say thanks again to the flight crew - worthy of note, http://andystravelblog.boardingarea.com/2018/01/29/pilots-lette
My next hop via a 737 to LAS is uneventful. I stop at the Centurion lounge for some freshly squeezed OJ. It is DELICIOUS as AA's app tells me my bags are being unloaded.
I grab my things and hop in the last car Hertz has in the gold section - a 2016 Toyota Corolla. Times are rough. I'm at Circus Circus again. I check in and tell the lady about the last time I was there with the neighbors and the extremely loud sex. Full story: tail end of this - https://www.reddit.com/guns/comments/5podeq/shot_2017my_tales_of_adventure_in_las_vegas/
She damn near busts a gut laughing and upgrades me to a skyrise room and gives me a line pass and complimentary buffet.
I arrive to my room where housekeeping has not cleaned it to my exacting specifications. Specifically, there are like three hairballs from a cat in the chair next to the desk. I ask for another room and they set it up for me. It's now 1AM. In and out burger is closed.
Fuck.
Tuesday, January 23rd SHOT Show Day One
You gotta get into the palazzo garage before 8AM or you are not getting a spot. I get in at 8:01 and miraculously find a spot. They are doing so much construction at the resort that I don't recognize it. I grab my pass and check in with some other industry associates. My first day is semi-eventful as I check out the sig 365, a very promising concealed carry product as well as a few other really neat things and many many useless items.
I run into u/chugbleach in the basement and we trade stories. He shows me some neat stuff he's been working on. We plan to dine later in the week and I continue walking the show when I see the most amazing booth ever.
Backstory: https://www.reddit.com/guns/comments/7ag6oj/gsg_stg_44/dp9u9hw/
I let fluff buy the hook, he posts $120 to win $100 if he gets his HMG gun by the end of Q1. If gun arrives on time, he gets $100 from me. If no, I get $120 from him.
I walk back to chug.
FC: DUDE DUDE DUDE YOU GOTTA SEE THIS COME QUICK
CB: Okay lets go
We walk briskly not 100 feet. I stop quickly. Chug looks confused.
I gesticulate wildly to our right.
This is what we see.
I crack up laughing and can barely contain myself. This is the greatest thing I have seen in weeks.
On that note it is time to take a break for lunch. I head up to one of my vendors who has a hospitality suite for the show and they are serving jambalaya for lunch every day. As a Louisiana boy, we do love jambalaya. There's a reason I spend lots of money with them. I eat and have a coke as I trade gun jokes with other gun dealers. I wander around the show and nothing else jumps at me.
I walk the footbridge over to the Wynn to see how the house is doing. The poker room is full. I draw $2500 from my credit line and head down to the craps table to throw some dice. I have some mixed success as it's getting late and I want to hit the in and out burger so as I'm getting ready to leave, Laura sends me a bunch of filthy text messages about what she wants to do to me when I get back. My chips and raging boner leave the tables quickly as I duck into the bathroom to tell her that if she wants to treat me like a prisoner on a conjugal visit - I went to 8 years of catholic school, she's entering a world of pain. She says game on.
After a quick trip to the cage to cash out, I'm up or down something like $100. I swing by in and out burger for a double double. It is delicious. Sleepy time.
Wednesday, January 24th. Day 2 of SHOT show.
Alarm goes off at 7:45 AM. I wash up, eat and get breakfast. In the garage by 8:15. Still manage to find a spot! Attendance is down this year. I get in line at Larue. They run out of dillo dust at 8:39. This is the line at 8:35 https://imgur.com/a/KLHrg
The show opens at 8:30. Fuck my life. I grab a dillo and some stickers for some friends and a few HK calendars. I wander around and talk to the guys over at Franklin Armory and their new SBR that isn't an SBR, SBS that isn't an SBS and rifle that isn't really a rifle BUT IS STILL A FIREARM. The projectiles they want to sell have fin stabilization and it's like a 55 grain flying Lombardi trophy. It's an interesting idea but I'm not 100% certain I would buy one personally. I trade war stories with a few other friends I meet up with at the show. I head down to the basement and I'm looking at a few accessories from Tactical Walls.
Just as I'm ready to leave - Joe Mantegna shows up and says hi to the reps.
FC: Mr Mantegna! I love your work! Can I get a picture?
JM: Sure.
Someone grabs my phone and snaps a pic
FC: You are great in the simpsons as Fat Tony. Just the best!
JM: (in fat tony voice) I don't get mad. I get stabby.
FC: That's awesome! Thanks! Enjoy the show!
I send the pics to some friends who enjoy snappy Mamet plays and they are all jealous. I head down to the basement. The ATF booth is vacant due to the government shutdown. So is the FBI booth. Oh well. I head upstairs to the manufacturer supplier section and I find out that Olympic Arms is still in business making things. I do a lap and get some business cards from some precision machine companies that can make some elaborate parts. Jambalaya again for lunch. Nom nom nom.
I head down to FN to talk shop with the guys down there and give them shit. FN's new innovation is a two tone FDE/Black gun. So now 50% of the gun does not have to match. I trade barbs with Mike Hoffman and we debate the age old question, is it really gay if you can suck your own cock? Just as I mention this, Steve Bannon shows up at the booth. That's my stop. I say hello to the director of commercial sales on my way out and go to the Knights booth where I find they're making 6.5 Creed stuff now. Interesting how quickly that cartridge has caught on. I talk shop with a few of the KAC guys and then I steal some more HK Kalendars for friends back home.
I hit the Circus Circus buffet with my free pass for the unpleasantness and it is not that great at all. They ran out of roast beef. I mean, really? SHOT SHOW IS IN TOWN! We are beef eating gun owners, and you're gonna run out of roast beef? This would never happen at the Wynn, an amazing property. I make a mental note to sell my MGM Mirage stock and buy some Wynn in the morning. I head back to the craps table and lose a shitload of money. I witness a heater happen after I color up and watch people go nuts. My luck at MGM properties has not been good. Ugh. I don't feel like doing gunnit live and head to sleep early.
Thursday, January 25th. Day 3 of SHOT show.
I message Chug and let him know that it's gotta be tonight if we're gonna hang since I fly out Friday night for Boston. We plan to make plans for dinner. I head to the show and get there at 3 minutes to 8. One of my best customers calls me wanting an XM2010. I head over to Remington and through some finagling they manage to say YES WE CAN SELL IT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SELL IT. I work up a quote and get the customer the info and tell him what's what. I visit the nighthawk custom booth where they have a new gun chambered in .45 APC.
https://imgur.com/a/9bNe7
I kid with a few FBI guys about their attention to detail. I saunter about the show. Leatherman Tool Group always has some nice things to play with. Tim Leatherman is engraving tools for people with his autograph. I'm happy with all of his products I own and I stop by to shake his hand and tell him that my wave has saved my ass on a hundred different occasions and I once resurrected a Ford off the side of the road. He says he loves hearing the stories and he's a pretty nice guy.
I wander about a little more and I find myself over at the Emerson Knife Company booth looking around.
For those not in the know, Emerson has a bunch of specwar types as customers. Damn good knives and operator customers. One of them is behind the table wearing a badge that says JOHN SMITH - JOHN SMITH INC. He's got arms that are as thick as my legs and he looks like a Navy Seal. He bolts upright from his seat and looks at my wrist.
"Is that a 1675?"
FC: Sure is! Damn good eye! My dad won it in an underground poker game in Hong Kong in 1968 from a couple of navy guys on shore leave that flew F4's off Dixie Station.
"Holy crap, that's fucking awesome!"
We talk watches and guns and killing people for a while. He says he's in the navy and the budweiser insignia necklace he is wearing tells me everything I need to know. Nice guy. I wonder what his real name is as the show closes down and as I walk out the magpul booth gives me a laugh. A paper sign on the door says "DOOR IS LOUD AF CLOSE GENTLY"
I'm not kidding - https://imgur.com/a/GgSkU
I head over to Chug's hotel and he gives me the grand tour. It's way nicer than my hotel. We go out and have dinner. I'm asked if I like Thai.
FC: Tie good, you like shirt?
Nobody gets my simpsons jokes. We go to dinner where a good time is had by all. Chug gets a call and needs to drop off a SHOT show pass to a co-worker of his flying in. As opposed to all the mechanics of a dead drop at the palazzo etc I tell him fuck it, just give it to me and I'll pick him up from the airport. In exchange, I tell him I want all the leftover chicken wings from the Thai place.
It's a deal. I grab the wings and head to McCarran. There's a guy in a BRZ hauling ass and I decide to see what this shitbox can do. I get the Corolla up to 115 MPH on the highway before backing down to a more sensible speed. After 5 minutes of MARCO / POLO I find the fellow and give him his shot show pass and a ride to his hotel. I find it funny that last year I ran an unapproved uber substitute and here we are again and the same thing is happening. I'm offered gas money or a beer after the show and I tell him hey, it's your first time at SHOT - enjoy the show, don't sweat it.
I hightail it up the strip to the Palazzo where I play a bit and eventually see a heater in progress. I split the 6/8 for $120 each and they hit. I press it and they hit again. Maybe this won't be a bad trip after all. Table craps out and I cash out still down a few bucks but better than when I started.
By the time I make it back to the room, it's 4AM. I eat the chicken wings. They're delicious.
Friday, January 26th. Day 4 of SHOT show.
I've gotten most of what I want to get done, done. I ordered some Firearm Instructor body armor from one of my guys since lots of people want me dead first thing in the AM and things were going good. I sleep in and debate what I want for breakfast when I realize things are going a little too good. Nothing really bad has happened this trip yet. I pack up and get ready to leave the hotel when I get a push notification.
MOTHERFUCKER
My flight to Boston has been canceled.
My confirmed first class seats on one of the hardest to upgrade legs in the entire AA route network - LAX to BOS, gone. AA proactively books me on the flight leaving LA a few hours later IN COACH. A middle seat, even. No, just no. I call American and they tell me the plane is broken. Damnit. I look on the app for acceptable reroutings and there is nothing available in first. I say fuck it, I'll deal with this shit later. I have the rental car until midnight, lots of time to make a new plan. I check out of the hotel, throw my bags in the car and head down to the show and it's a freaking ghost town. Parking spaces everywhere. I say bye to a few folks as my phone sends me a notification. WSJ: STEVE WYNN ACCUSED OF DECADES OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Oh FUCK MY LIFE. I bought the stock back on Wednesday. GODDAMNIT STEVE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT
I skip lunch and walk across the street to the Wynn and their corporate office.
You see, I have a simple theory. If the allegations are false, they should have no problem sending someone out to listen to my concerns and say the allegations are false and here's everything we're doing to fight it. If the allegations are true, they'll send down hired goons to throw me out the door.
It's sorta like spousal infidelity. If A finds evidence of B cheating, credit card statements, sexts, racy pictures, etc - and A confronts B and B admits it and says I want a divorce, B is guilty. If B says A is cheating on them what the fuck are you doing looking at my credit card statements and phone you're the one that's wrong and invading my privacy get the fuck out of my house - B is really guilty.
That's the theory. If they go full retard and bounce me off the property, the stock is probably going to go down some more. If they address the concerns, things should not be as bad.
Since I walked through the property the last time I was in town, I knew where the corporate office was. The name on my broker statement says WYNN RESPORTS and so did the sign on the doors. I walk through the doors and to the end of the hallway where there's another electronically locked door that is unlocked.
There's a security guard who is nonplussed sitting at a desk wondering if I'm lost. I explain to him that I'm a shareholder and I want to know what this company is doing about this catastrophe. He says he can't say/do anything and I'm instructed to leave. I ask him if he can take a message. He says yes, and I'm like you just said you can't do anything. So what's that supposed to mean?
I argue with him about what he supposedly can and cannot do as I eat raspberry macrons that have been plated at the reception area of the corporate office. THESE BETTER BE THE BEST FUCKING MACARONS I HAVE EVER EATEN GODDAMNIT. They are. Fuck.
He tells me that my best bet is to talk to someone else at the resort, not him. Fine.
I leave and head to the concierge desk - because from one concierge to another, we can solve problems. I explain the situation and instead of routing me to the press office or investor relations - they give me a phone and tell me to speak to guest services. AKA the people that help you with your stay as a guest of the hotel. I give the lady taking the message about 15 minutes worth of comments and she's assured me that they'll be passed along to management.
Given the circumstances I think that's the best I'm going to do today. Now, there's the issue of me being stuck in vegas for another night. I look down at my phone and AA has offered three itineraries flying out of McCarran tomorrow IN FIRST CLASS that gets me to Boston in a timely fashion. I jump on the 625AM flight to Charlotte. This means I need to be at the car rental by 525AM and out the door around 0430. Fuck my life. And I have nowhere to sleep/showeshit/shave.
As I'm walking back to the esplanade to cross back over to the Palazzo where my car is, I notice the registration desk. I get in line and a lovely lady asks what she can do for me.
I tell her that I'm a shareholder and I'm pretty mad about the way the company is handling their sex offender in chief. And given the $18 haircut I took on the stock today, if there's an angry shareholder discount on a room tonight I think that would be more than fair given the circumstances. She agrees and gets me a bottle of water and the manager. The manager asks me if I've stayed at the hotel before, the answer is yes and asks to see my ID so she can see if she can plug me in at a repeat guest rate.
A few minutes go by and I wait patiently at the desk when I'm tapped on the shoulder.
There's two former NFL linebackers, one with his back towards me and the other introducing himself as the director of security.
Hmmm. Lets see. For those not in the know, there's only one exit in and out of the wynn registration desk.
If there's two bodies on me, there's gotta be at least two more at each side of the wall behind it that I can't see, I figure 4 sets of eyes running the eye in the sky all with their eyes glued to the monitors, the director of security is holding my ID which means he's already got my play, my comps, my markers, run me through central credit, my red card, he's got metro running me for wants/warrants and there's probably an unmarked metro ford next to a service exit with an open door and a seat reserved for me in the back.
I look down at my watch. The market is closed. I can't sell. Fuck. Because there is no way in hell this stock is holding $180 monday morning.
Quickly, I bang out a message to my brother letting him know I am about to be arrested at the Wynn and to start googling Las Vegas bail bonds.
The two security guys tell me to step away from the front desk and they want to know what the hell I'm doing. I tell them I want answers from the management of this company about how they're handling this disaster. They say I can't just walk into a casino corporate office and ask to speak to someone.
Well, I just did. Why can't I?
They said it represents a major security risk and a breach of their perimeter. After all, Mr. Wynn takes his security at the hotel very seriously.
Me: I suppose if I were a sex offender with hired goons, I'd take my security seriously too. And if you really didn't want people going back there - last time I checked, this is a casino. The doors have locks. Perhaps you should have oh I don't know, locked them?
Wynn Security: What makes you think you can just walk in here and talk to us like that?
Me: I'm a stockholder. Technically you work for me.
Wynn Security: You honestly expect that a big company like us is going to send someone out of the corporate office to talk to a guy like you about a thing like this? That never happens in corporate america.
Me: That's strange. Michael Moore did exactly that and that's what made him famous. What's your point?
We bantered in the registration area of the Wynn for something like an hour and 45 minutes as the director of security wandered back and forth. They never backed down with the questions and I never backed down from the answers. A lot of casino security is former law enforcement so they're looking for that time you change your story like on an episode of cops. For instance, if it was cops it would go like
Cop: who's drugs are these?
1: Never seen em before
fast forward 2 min
1: I mean my friend smokes pot, maybe it's his
Cop: I thought you said you never seen em before?
fast forward 2 min
1: So I smoke a little pot okay
Cop: I thought you said it might be your friends pot?
fast forward 2 min
1: yeah it's my pot
They were looking for a reason to throw me out and as far as I can tell, they probably still are. I'm sorta expecting a registered letter in the mail barring me from the property in a week. If I start yelling, it's disorderly conduct and they have a case. If start pushing someone around, same thing. But if I speak candidly and gesticulate wildly and raise cogent points about how every single hotel employee I've dealt with thus far owns a combined total of zero shares in the company - they have no skin in the game and I do. So, they can't really criticize my opinion as wrong because I'm the stockholder not them. At least, that's my opinion. I could be wrong.
Well, the goons disagreed with me and said I was wrong. They also said that this could have been accomplished with a phone call. I said no, because you wouldn't take a phone call seriously. And now you're taking this seriously. So, match point: FC.
They didn't like that. It would not surprise me in the least if Steve Wynn was in the security booth with a radio telling his guys to find some reason to arrest me and have me sent to Clark County booking. This guy just feels guilty as sin. I can't prove it but my gut has usually been right about this sort of thing.
As I'm waiting for my inevitable arrest and booking, I wonder if American Airlines will allow me another flight change due to temporary incarceration. Because there's no way I'll be able to leave the state with an ROR or a signature bond out. I look over at Mean Joe Greene Jr and tell him I was too angry to eat lunch and I'd like to have a seat before my blood sugar crashes and my head hits the floor and Steve sends me a bill for the shattered italian marble.
He gestures towards a chair in the reception area and I have a sit. He offers to bring me another water. I decline. He brings me a water anyways. I consume both the waters as compliments of the house as a sign of untoward cooperation.
Out of the corner of my eye I see the director of security talking to two metro PD guys with handcuffs out. I hear over the radio they're asking for a rover to take me down to the security office for fingerprinting and photographs. He is gesticulating wildly.
The director of security comes back over and he tries to get me to crack on my story. I tell him I'm here as a shareholder as a private citizen demanding accountability of the management. I will not apologize for walking through an unlocked door to the corporate office asking to speak to someone to hear out my concerns, I will not apologize for going to the concierge since the previous person was very unhelpful and I will not apologize for expecting the highest standards of a fortune 1000 company chairman and CEO. And until you pony up and buy some stock, I'm not about to take a lecture about what is and isn't acceptable behavior from people who don't have skin in the game protecting what should be by all accounts a registered sex offender.
He looks back at Metro PD.
They shrug.
They've got nothing chargeable on me.
Hell, I'm not even counting cards this time.
Next thing I know he quickly walks away and returns with a late 20's hispanic fellow who introduces himself as the hotel manager. He says that he's gotten a report from security and that Mr. Wynn's private life he cannot comment on but the concerns I have will be sent up towards management.
FC: So you're the hotel manager? So you report to Matt Maddox. You tell him that this is a mess. Nobody comes back from this sort of thing. Not Harvey Weinstein. Not Louis CK. Not Matt Lauer. Not Bill O'Reilly. Not Bill Cosby. Not Kevin Spacey. Not Charlie Rose. Not Al Franken. And the LAST time this happened at Mirage, a shareholder revolt wound up sending the company into the hands of MGM. What's to stop Sheldon from across the street from doing the same thing? You tell them that.
The manager nods and offers me a room at a rate, inclusive of resort fee and taxes of $335/night. I take out my phone, look at the Hotel Tonight app and realize that I'm being charged more money than if I were to book the room from a consolidator.
Now, I don't mind the lie about understanding where I'm coming from. I do mind the insult to my intelligence. I am handed back my ID and the hotel manager offers his business card. I take his business card and go over to the cage. I close my credit line and take my deposit out of the cage. I'm down for the trip. Fuck this shit, I'll deal with it later. I call my brother and tell him that I've been released. We look at some flights and to get back to Boston will require another night in Las Vegas. Everything leaving tonight is full due to the conventions closing up.
AA has some seats open in first via Charlotte and Philly, I take the Charlotte flight leaving at 6:30 AM from McCarran and they confirm me seats in first all the way to Logan. This is the only thing to go right today. I purchase some clean clothes since I will not have time to do laundry in Boston anymore due to the delay and head over to the palace station oyster bar. The wait is about 2 hours but I make some friends in line while I'm there. I am torn between the alaskan chowder and the bouillabaisse. I ask Steve behind the bar what he thinks is best. He says do the bouillabaisse. I tell him that sounds excellent, and to add extra lobster. I ask him how long, he says could be 30 minutes but check back in 20. I tell him I'm gonna go hit the tables and I'll be back in 20. The timer on my phone begins counting down.
I belly up to the nearest craps table and I drop my cash down. I tell them I want it in black and red and the croupier complies. I bet the 6/8 split with mixed success and the pass line with odds. The shooter misses the point. I look down at my dwindling stack of chips and there's 15 minutes left.
Fuck it. Go big or go home. Lets get this shit over with. The point comes off. I drop $100 on the pass line. New shooter gets the dice and the come out roll hits a 10.
I look at the gal with the whip. I throw her a stack of chips.
FC: Full odds on the ten, $200 hard way, give me all the numbers and a nickel c and e.
New shooter proceeds to hit every number on the board, midnight, yo and a speed limit. Pass line pays even money. Pass odds pays 2-1. I'm looking down at a big stack of chips. What the fuck just happened?
I drop $100 on the pass line again, the point comes out for an 8. I take full odds and all the numbers. New shooter hits every number on the board, midnight, yo, except the 8. The guy next to me has the all or nothing at all working so the only thing left to hit is the 8 and it's gonna pay 175:1. The 8 does not hit. Everyone is chasing the 8'er from Decatur.
I look down at my stack and the table limit and the boxman.
FC: hey Joe, what's the juice on laying the 8?
Joe: 5 points!
I take down my pass line odds.
FC: I want everything off and I'll lay the 8 for a dime.
Everyone at the table looks at me like I'm a lunatic. I slide over two purple chips and two green for the vig.
Time remaining until bouillabaisse: 8 minutes.
Lets see what happens. The dice bang around a bunch of more times. I'm ahead for this trip. Way ahead. Next thing I know, the gal with the whip calls no roll. One of the dies have left the table.
Time remaining until bouillabaisse: 4 minutes.
This is my stop.
FC: Take down my lay, and I'll color up.
The boxman colors me up, I leave a nice tip for the crew and start to walk over to the cage to cash in. I hear screaming and profanity, I turn around and I see the dealers stacking chips. The shooter has 7'd out.
Time remaining until bouillabaisse: 2 minutes.
There's a long line at the cage. I walk back to the oyster bar and I see a big bowl with a plate covering it. Steve behind the bar has thought of everything.
I turn the plate over and look down at my stack of chips. Maybe today won't be so bad after all.
https://imgur.com/a/bjK7R
The bouillabaisse is delicious. The win is even more delicious. I nom my way to the bottom of the bowl and settle up the bill. I leave Steve a nice tip as I head over to the Palazzo to say hi to some friends. I find myself at a craps table you can hang meat upon. This is not good. It's getting late and I head over to my room at the Mandalay Bay.
Now, here's the fucked up part. This girl I've been hooking up with didn't hook up with me before I left for SHOT. She's been messing with my brain for a whole week. I check in to the Mandalay Bay where there's a goddamn pornstar convention going on.
FML.
I find myself down at a craps table at 11PM and bringing a frontier flight attendant named Amber back to my room. The lucky streak continues. My flight leaves in a few hours. I kick her out of my room and pass out.
Flight leaves at 625 for CLT. Need to be at McCarran at 525. Out the door of the hotel by 5AM at the latest. I set my alarm.
*Saturday, January 27th. *
I wake up to see the sun shining through my hotel room. I look down at the alarm clock. 8:01AM.
My long standing joke is that I sleep like a dead prostitute. The evening of ravenous illegal in 48 states sex has taken its toll. Fuck. I grab the phone and press the button for guest services. I turn on the speaker as I open my bag wide and just stuff everything in as fast as I can. I throw my boots on as I tell them to check me out over the phone. I haul ass downstairs to the garage and I get to McCarran and board the shuttle to Terminal 1. I walk up to the AA desk knowing I am 11 different kinds of fucked. Nancy the gate agent starts working on my departure. AA's rule is 2 hours from departure on a flat tire. That's 8:25 AM. It's a few minutes before 9. Nancy the great agent cannot get anything to work. She has to put me in the special services line. By the time I get there, they tell me I'm flying standby and I'm on the flight to Philly leaving at 1PM in the afternoon. There is no way in hell they can get me on the 10AM to Phoenix.
My cousin is getting married in Boston and she is going to fucking kill me. I told her I'd be there around 6PM on the rebooking. And now I'm going to be leaving for Philly in 4 hours. Granted, the Amex Centurion Lounge has freshly squeezed OJ but that's not going to be enough today. I run to TSA and get cleared. I run past the Centurion to head straight for the Phoenix gate. Hopefully other folks have had an irish layover. The gate agent there starts working me and she says that they have two open seats and that they're gonna get me on. Just sit tight. I step to the side to let her help a few other folks gate check bags. The clock is ticking and her colleague closes the boarding door as I'm standing next to the gate looking fucked. I take a deep breath and try to keep it together.
A tap on the shoulder.
"Sir, your boarding pass. Exit row window. I've taken the liberty and called back to make sure there's space in the overhead for my bags so you don't have to gate check. You are good to go."
I look up at the three ladies working the podium.
FC: Can I hug any of you?
Gate Agent 1: No
Gate Agent 2: I'm sick
Gate Agent 3: Sure, why not?
I head behind the counter and give her a hug. She seems pleased.
I hightail it to the door. Gate agent 2 opens it up for me. I run down the jetway like a charging rhino, Chris Christie like. The flight attendants greet me by name and they realize that my nose is bleeding from the 8 ball I shared with Amber a few hours back. The FA points at my nose and asks me if I'd like to step into the lav. I realize it's probably pretty bad. I leave my bags in the galley and duck in and I stuff a bunch of paper in my nose as an ersatz tampon. I walk back out, grab my bags and I declare to the entire plane it's the dry air not a cocaine problem.
Nobody believes me.
I take my seat and there's an empty seat between me and an in uniform FA on the way home. We chat a bit and Cathy thinks my story is hilarious. She even gets on AA's PALL list for the flight to Boston and checks and says I'm number one on standby R4. A nice lady, I offer her one of my extra LaRue Dillo's. She thinks they're cute.
The working FA walks back and looks down at the traveling FA and says very discreetly there's a 40 minute ground hold due to PHX losing a runway. This is gonna be really really tight. My connecting flight to Boston is not looking good. We wait the 40 minutes for the hold and make it to PHX about 15 minutes behind schedule. I bolt to the Boston gate. I ask if they've cleared all the standby passengers. They say yes. I say I should be number one and they hand me a ticket in coach.
FC: Any way I can talk you into a seat in the front of the plane?
The hate agent just looks at me funny. He does not seem to think that's happening. He asks me if I have status on the airline. Sure do. He says no promises.
I tell him no sweat, I'm gonna go take a leak and come back around in 5.
I walk back up and he hands me my new boarding pass.
https://imgur.com/a/IJuPe
I call my cousin and tell her that I'm gonna be a few hours late. Great ride all the way into Boston. I sleep like a dead prostitute.
https://imgur.com/a/RKMSu
Just as we cruise past the city of big shoulders, the FA wakes me up.
"Mr Hayden, would you like some ice cream?"
I look at my neighbor who is a middle age female executive and she is plowing through hers like Sherman through Atlanta.
FC: You know what, Chuck? I've always wanted to say this. I'll have what she's having.
https://imgur.com/a/our5R
Ice cream on the ground, delicious.
Ice cream on a plane, FUCKING FANTASTIC.
FC out.

(discussion) Our Vegas wedding on a moderate budget tips and tricks mega thread!

So over a year ago we got engaged and went down the path of trying to plan a wedding. We keep getting frustrated with every turn and it seemed like everyone was trying to nickle and dime us charging us outrageous rates for what should be common things. As time went on we keep joking "lets just say screw it and get married in vegas" .. Then one day we actually looked at what they offered. OMG were we shocked! The best part. THESE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER!. They have full packages and they are not cheesy but can be very classy / elegant!
So please don't knock the Vegas wedding till you check out what they can do for you and the prices!
I am going to break down everything I have learned in the last 6 months on how to do this trip right on a moderate but not broke budget (>10k with plenty of breathing room) and share what our plans are! I will upload a video journal after everything is done if people are interested.
1st VENUE ... If you are doing a wedding lock in your Venue first. You can't make any other plans with out knowing this first!. Figure out where you want it. You don't have to do Elvis and there are way more options than you would think. Want to get married in front of a shark tank. You can do that. For us we wanted to get married at the bellagio and they even offer packages where they shoot off the fountains on your first kiss. (skip to 11:00) Be sure and read the contracts / prices and reviews to see what others said. We found we could have our wedding at the Bellagio for $2,000 and it included just about everything we needed for the ceremony. Only kicker was we have to use THEIR florist and THEIR in house photographer who are way over priced but our package came with some default items and that's all we needed. So 2 grand got us venue , minister, floral, and photographer + they give you a gift basket and have a limo take you to get your marriage licence. So not a bad deal for @ the Bellagio (please note try not to book your weddings on busy days if you want to save money in general we booked our wedding before EDC announced they were having their gig the same week, turns out EDC week is like the 3rd busiest week of the year)
2nd Reception. Now most would think you would need to have the reception at the same hotel as your wedding. However you do not have to and this is where the costs rise very quickly at the really nice places to get married. All the strip hotels are very expensive and have a minimum head count / price per plate fee with booking a banquet room. So we found that doing the reception at the Fremont hotel was much more affordable. I got a 2 entree of our choice w 4 sides + cake dinner package with a open bar for $3,000 for 50 people for 4 hours. I would have spent that and then some in my home town. Having it on fremont also opens up the ability for us to have fun and take pictures with the actors out side with our grandparents and so on who can't walk so well after our reception ends. Seriously how cool is that!
3rd Transportation Air fair - booked in advance most air fair was $250 per person car rentals were $30 a day and we didn't have to use their insurance because we put it on a capitol one CC
To get everyone from the Bellagio to fremont I was able to book 2 buses and a limo for the bridal party for around $250 turn key using https://www.belllimousine.com/fleet-rates/ This includes champagne in the limo. Seriously getting 50 ppl from one hotel to another is no joke so please don't forget this step.
4th DJ's
I was highly shocked that vegas doesn't have more wedding DJ's. They have tons of EDM Dj's but the actual wedding dj's / MC's is slim pickings and most are super douches. I ended up going with a guy named Mike Fox who is from England and used to be a local radio DJ and was just very nice to work with and his website format was perfect for setting up music lists he could rip songs from youtube and he accepts payments via paypal even . our cost was $600 for 4 hours
5th Hotels.
Now that you have the venue set you need a place for you and everyone else to stay right! . Don't think just because you are having your wedding at a place you have to stay there or they will cut you a better deal. Because they won't. Infact the best they can do in most cases is "upgrade" or give the bride and groom a discount if they book so many rooms using a promo code / friends and family rate. The wedding people have no say over any other department and this is a huge flaw as there is a major disconnect here we found.
So unless you want to screw over all your friends and family Ceasers is the way to go! If you have not already, make sure you and your whole crew sign up for ceasers TR cards ASAP!!! it doesn't mater if you have any play on your cards you just have to have them for over 6 months. On your rooms they now let you combine player cards for room discounts after you sign in . Once me and my bride combined our TR numbers we got our rooms comped only having to pay resort fees at basically any hotel of our choice other than Ceasers palace. THE WHOLE WEEK OF EDC June 11th - June 18th. So what did we do.. Well we split up where we were staying to have some fun! The first few nights were at the Rio in free rooms and even booked a 2nd free room the night of our bachelor /ett parties that way we don't see each other before the wedding. Then we decided to splurge one night by staying at a spa suite at the Monte carlo because it has a 2 person tub that sits right in front of a window over looking the strip and a steam shower for $130 with our Mlife discount and finally going to another free strip view room at the flamingo for the last few days because why the hell not (this was my girls hotel choice btw.) Total room cost for the full week of EDC = under $400 turn key! Keep in mind out of our whole party .. like 30+ ppl got free rooms this way having 0 play on their cards. Only the people who enrolled late didn't get this promo and they found palace station and the linq were the cheapest best fit for them. However it's vegas so we told everyone "Stay were you like... but we know this trick!" We are not even gonna bother with the $20 trick as we got the exact rooms we wanted for FREE! (as of right now June 9th 2016 just a few days before the week of EDC these are the rates i get using this trick)

6thDate night / food.
So before we start the whole wedding thing I wanted to have a romantic alone day with my lady. So Sunday I booked us to have brunch at the sterling buffet This is a all you can eat lobster / king crab , caviar with champagne. It is very high priced, but lets just say I am excited! We plan on derping around the strip after that doing some shopping. I have lined up where we are having Dinner at the Eiffel Tower restaurant and surprisingly contacted Chef Joho on facebook and was able to get something special made for us and got us a table over looking the fountains at the Bellagio and them to have a rose on the table for my lady!. Now these guys an tell you the exact time of the sunset for any day in las vegas months out. So you can book your table right as the view is best. (food cost aprox $450 for brunch and dinner.. OMG i know right.. but .. So NOM!)
After that by playing the Myvegas slots on Facebook or mobile for just a few days for free I was able to get a Buy One Get one free premium tickets to KA along with Buy one Get one free monorail to get from paris to MGM (total cost $100) Honestly Myvegas is only good for bogo's on buffets, restaurants, and shows + a tshirt at palace station. I tried booking hotel rooms at discounted rates but found out... yea .. they won't let you pick dates and is alas another MGM scam. So if you play myvegas don't hold your breath on the hotel rooms as they will cock block you.
All in all I think it's gonna be a cool night We will do some shopping and have some fun!
7th Bachelo ette parties !!!
Lets be real. Who wouldn't like their bachelor party to be in vegas!
GUY STUFF! ... For us guys we are starting out by having me drive a Mclaren super car at exotic racing - http://www.exoticsracing.com/driving-experience I think a few of my grooms men may drive a car too or atleast do the drift car for $100.
Then we are headed to a brewery tour at Bangers Brewery to drink some beer. . after that we are going to derp around then go to las vegas's only fully nude strip club
Then I got a local youtuber and bouncer Jacob Orth to hook us up with limo service to the Hustler club with a bottle service deal. Honestly this guy rocks! so hit him up for any questions you have for a bachelor party Something very interesting and important this guy taught me was have the clubs pick you up in their limos because all the cab/ubelyft /limo drivers get a kick back on anyone they drop off to the clubs and same with the VIP card guys! So if you use them ... THE CLUB HAS TO CHARGE YOU A COVER!!! If you use the clubs FREE limo service they can wave that cover charge!!
We are ending the night by watching the riviera demo from either the rooftop of the Rio or over by circus circus.
Girl STUFF
The girls are starting the night out with a pole dancing strip tease class that includes a limo service and club crawl. They are also seeing the chip n dales show at the rio. The maid of honor worked out a deal where they have a escort / host that takes them from club to club and gets them past the lines, gets them drinks and all that. Then if they are still standing they will meet up with us guys to watch the riviera implosion. I don't know exactly what all they are doing but i'm sure they will have fun!
That's all pretty generic stuff but for you ladies reading this I am going to share some other secrets we found for the wedding that is good to know.
1st My bride is having a professional makeup and hair artist come and do air brush makeup and updo's at their hotel room. The cost was around $145 a person. This is way cheaper than using the in house salons not to mention they come to your room!
As a small token gesture my bride got her bridal party all vegas clutches + jewlry from amazon and I think they are cool!
Other things we plan on doing if we can. Eating at the bacchanal buffet Maybe check out sweets raku for some unique deserts
of course tons of window shopping and exploring and if we have time shoot some guns and enjoy some of the pools at the hotels!
If you are still reading this and don't know. most users best tips yet very serious things to know are.
  1. Don't Jay walk!
  2. Wear good shoes
  3. Stay cool and drink plenty of water
  4. Beware of scammers
  5. Don't come to vegas because your on vacation but stay because your on probation
Remember this is not a list of what you have to do but what we are doing after 6+ months of hard research. I want to thank the reddit community of vegas I have read every post from the last 6 months and every side bar item they had It's because of thier suggestions I was able to lock in what few things I knew i wanted to do for sure .
last .. treat your trip as a vacation. leave your self plenty of free time to derp around and just do what comes naturally even from other people in your "group" alone time is good! . Please be safe and if you have any questions I will try to answer them or I'm sure others will!

My upcoming Las Vegas wedding Mega thread with all the tips and tricks I learned from youtube and reading all your threads in r/vegas + sidebar and then some!

So over a year ago we got engaged and went down the path of trying to plan a wedding. We keep getting frustrated with every turn and it seemed like everyone was trying to nickle and dime us charging us outrageous rates for what should be common things. As time went on we keep joking "lets just say screw it and get married in vegas" .. Then one day we actually looked at what they offered. OMG were we shocked! The best part. VEGAS HAS THEIR ACT TOGETHER ON WEDDINGS!. They have full packages and they are not cheesy but can be very classy / elegant!
So now the time has come and I'm getting married next week same week as EDC in Las Vegas (Woo hoo from visitors and 1 handed clap from locals right!)
I am going to break down everything I have learned in the last 6 months on how to do this trip right on a moderate but not broke budget (less than 10k with plenty of breathing room) and share what our plans are! I will upload a video journal after everything is done if people are interested.
1st. Venue-
If you are doing a wedding lock in your Venue first. I almost suggest you pick your wedding day around when the venue you want is available! You can't make any other plans with out knowing this first!. Figure out where you want it. You don't have to do Elvis and there are way more options than you would think. Want to get married in front of a shark tank. You can do that. For us we wanted to get married at the bellagio and they even offer packages where they shoot off the fountains on your first kiss. (skip to 11:00) Be sure and read the contracts / prices and reviews to see what others said. We found we could have our wedding at the Bellagio for $2,000 and it included just about everything we needed for the ceremony. Only kicker was we have to use THEIR florist and THEIR in house photographer who are way over priced but our package came with some default items and that's all we needed. So 2 grand got us venue , minister, floral, and photographer + they give you a gift basket and have a limo take you to get your marriage licence. So not a bad deal for @ the Bellagio (please note try not to book your weddings on busy days if you want to save money in general we booked our wedding before EDC announced they were having their gig the same week, turns out EDC week is like the 3rd busiest week of the year)
"update- The wedding was awesome but the walk to the venue sucked. The photographer was kinda a scam as the next day we were only able to buy 3 photo's the pre printed and never received our package ones. You have to do that online later and have yet to receive them"
2nd. Reception-
Now most would think you would need to have the reception at the same hotel as your wedding. However you do not have to and this is where the costs rise very quickly at the really nice places to get married. All the strip hotels are very expensive and have a minimum head count / price per plate fee with booking a banquet room. So we found that doing the reception at the Fremont hotel was much more affordable. I got a 2 entree of our choice w 4 sides + cake dinner package with a open bar for $3,000 for 50 people for 4 hours. I would have spent that and then some in my home town. Having it on fremont also opens up the ability for us to have fun and take pictures with the actors out side with our grandparents and so on who can't walk so well after our reception ends. Seriously how cool is that!
"update"- this room was awesome and the staff and venue was great.Biggest shocker was the food was really 1st class and they really keep the drinks flowing for cheap. We never even used our full liquor budget so i just gave the left over amount as a extra tip to the staff
3rd. Transportation-
To get everyone from the Bellagio to fremont I was able to book 2 buses and a limo for the bridal party for around $250 turn key using https://www.belllimousine.com/fleet-rates/ This includes champagne in the limo. Seriously getting 50 ppl from one hotel to another is no joke so please don't forget this step.
Update = we also used taxi's for everthing and spent on avg 15 bucks including tip for us to go anywhere we liked other than the race track. we only had 3 ppl long haul us out of over 20+ trips . Bell tras was awesome and took care of all my people perfectly 4th. DJ's
I was highly shocked that vegas doesn't have more wedding DJ's. They have tons of EDM Dj's. However actual wedding dj's / Master of ceremony is slim pickings and most are super douches. I ended up going with a guy named Mike Fox who is from England and used to be a local radio DJ and was just very nice to work with, being pleasant and making us smile. His website format was perfect for setting up music lists + he could rip songs from youtube being just very internet tech savy in general. He also accepts payments via paypal invoice even. Our cost was $600 for 4 hours
Update= Mike fox was awesome and I would highly recommend. We had 3 pro DJ's in our wedding group from Texas and they all agreed he was a great DJ. Very funny and he had the whole place having fun and dancing using inflatable props they could pass around.
5th. Hotels
Now that you have the venue set you need a place for you and everyone else to stay right! . Don't think just because you are having your wedding at a place, that is where you have to stay there or think that they will cut you a better deal. Because they won't. In fact the best they can do in most cases is "upgrade" or give the bride and groom a discount if they book so many rooms using a promo code / friends and family rate. The wedding people have no say over any other department and this is a huge flaw as there is a major disconnect here we found. MGM Lost out on the majority of our groups sales because of this.
So unless you want to screw over all your friends and family Caesers is the way to go! If you have not already, make sure you and your whole crew sign up for caesers TR cards ASAP!!! it doesn't mater if you have any play on your cards you just have to have them for over 6 months. After that time you get mega discounts. On your rooms Caesers lets you combine player cards for room discounts after you sign in . Once me and my bride added both our TR numbers to the TR site we got our rooms comped only having to pay resort fees at basically any hotel of our choice other than Caesers palace or Nobu they require the 2nd teir points for comps. WE GOT THIS THE WHOLE WEEK OF EDC June 11th - June 18th. So what did we do.. Well we split up where we were staying to have some fun! The first few nights were at the Rio in free rooms and even booked a 2nd free room the night of our bachelor /ett parties that way we don't see each other before the wedding. Then we decided to splurge one night by staying at a spa suite at the Monte carlo because it has a 2 person tub that sits right in front of a window over looking the strip and a steam shower for $130 with our meager Mlife discount. Finally going to another free strip view room at the flamingo for the last few days because why the hell not (this was my girls hotel choice btw.) Total room cost for the full week of EDC = under $400 turn key booked 2 months in advance! Keep in mind out of our whole party .. like 30+ ppl got free rooms this way having 0 play on their cards. Only the people who enrolled late didn't get this promo and some found palace station and the linq were the cheapest best fit for them. However it's vegas so we told everyone "Stay were you like... but we know this trick!" I hear it sometimes works, but are not even gonna bother with the $20 trick as we got the exact rooms we wanted for FREE!
(Because people wanted proof of this as of right now June 9th 2016 just a few days before the week of EDC these are the rates i get using this trick)
Rio -http://imgur.com/a/Axiiq
Paris- http://imgur.com/iTJoPsf
Planet hollywood https://imgur.com/WkMLVtZ
"update = We ended up staying extra days and stayed at the Rio, flamingo , planet Hollywood, monte carlo and Cosmo. Honestly we def felt like the rio had the best bang for the buck. The floor the ceiling windows were nice and with a strip view it just looked pretty. The PH room we had had a small window but it had a picture perfect view Our least fav was the flamingo as well it was just outdated and had a motel 6 bathroom. Cosmo we felt like was way over priced for what you got. Monte Carlo was nice but the room and floor we were on were clearly old and dilapidated.
6th. Date night / food-
So before we start the whole wedding thing I wanted to have a romantic alone day with my lady. So Sunday I booked us to have brunch at the sterling buffet This is a all you can eat lobster / king crab , caviar with champagne. It is very high priced, but lets just say I am excited and gonna try and get my moneys worth! We plan on derping around the strip after that doing some shopping. I have lined up where we are having Dinner at the Eiffel Tower restaurant and surprisingly contacted Chef Joho on facebook and was able to get something special made for us and got us a table over looking the fountains at the Bellagio and them to have a rose on the table for my lady!. Now these guys an tell you the exact time of the sunset for any day in las vegas months out. So you can book your table right as the view is best. (food cost aprox $450 for brunch and dinner.. OMG i know right.. but .. So NOM!)
After that by playing the Myvegas slots on Facebook or mobile for just a few days for free I was able to get a Buy One Get one free premium tickets to KA along with Buy one Get one free monorail to get from paris to MGM (total cost $100) Honestly Myvegas is only good for bogo's on buffets, resturants, and shows + a tshirt at palace station. I tried booking hotel rooms at discounted rates but found out... yea .. they won't let you pick dates and is alas another MGM scam. So if you play myvegas don't hold your breath on the hotel rooms as they will cock block you.
All in all I think it's gonna be a cool night We will do some shopping and have some fun!
update = The Eiffel tower was by far our best dining experience. Chef Joho's team really went the extra mile and gave us a free signed cook book and my wife a charm bracelet that she loves. The food was unlike anything I have ever had. Words can not express and the view was breathtaking. The sterling was pretty awesome but honestly the deserts were the best part lol. We actually tried every major buffet in vegas that week and My recommendation is wicked spoon at the cosmo. Everything was really good and the deserts were awesome. 7th. Bachelo ette parties !!!
GUY STUFF! ... For us guys we are starting out by having me drive a Mclaren supercar at Exotic racing I think a few of my grooms men may drive a car too or at least I will buy the drift car experience for them $100.
Then we are headed to a brewery tour at Bangers Brewery to drink some beer. . after that we are going to derp around then go to las vegas's only fully nude strip club with liquor
Then I got a Vegas local youtuber and bouncehost Jacob Orth to hook us up with limo service to the Hustler club with a bottle service deal. Honestly this guy rocks! So hit him up for any questions you have for bachelor parties. He can set you up with deals for just about any club in town as he is a host. Also something very interesting and important this guy taught me was have the clubs pick you up in their limos because all the cab/ubelyft /limo drivers get a kick back on anyone they drop off to the clubs and same with the VIP card guys! So if you don't use the free limo ... THE CLUB HAS TO CHARGE YOU A COVER!!! If you use the clubs FREE limo service they can sometimes wave that cover charge!! (that's like $20 a person!) I really can't say enough good things about Jacob so hit him up!
We are ending the night by watching the riviera demo from either the rooftop of the Rio or over by circus circus.
Update= exotic racing was awesome. Something I and my groomsmen will never forget. Bangers brewery tour sucked. However the food vendor on the patio was awesome lol They did have a coffee beer that was good though. Strip clubs were what you would expect. Some of the girls were very pushy but meh. We had one man who didn't want to leave.
Girl STUFF
The girls are starting the night out with a pole dancing strip tease class that includes a limo service and club crawl. They are also seeing the chip n dales show at the rio. The maid of honor worked out a deal where they have a escort / host that takes them from club to club and gets them past the lines, gets them drinks and all that. Then if they are still standing after that they will meet up with us guys to watch the riviera implosion. I don't know what all they are fully doing but i'm sure they will have fun!
That's all pretty generic stuff but for you ladies reading this I am going to give another secret we found for the wedding that is good to know.
My bride is having a professional makeup and hair artist come and do air brush makeup and updo's at their hotel room. The cost was around $145 a person. This is way cheaper than using the in house salons not to mention they come to your room! The more people who use this service the cheaper it gets per person!
As a small token gesture my bride got her bridal party all vegas clutches + jewelry from amazon and I think they are cool!
Other things we plan on doing if we can. Eating at the bacchanal buffet Maybe check out sweets raku for some unique deserts
of course tons of window shopping and exploring and if we have time shoot some guns and enjoy some of the pools at the hotels!
If you are still reading this and haven't figured it out yet. Most user's best yet very serious tips / things to know are.
  1. Don't Jay walk!
  2. Wear good shoes
  3. Stay cool and drink plenty of water
  4. Beware of scammers
  5. Don't get Trickrolled
  6. Don't come to Vegas because your on vacation but stay because your on probation
Remember this is not a list of what you have to do but what we are doing after 6+ months of hard research. I want to thank the reddit community of vegas I have read every post from the last 6 months and every side bar item. It's because of your suggestions I was able to lock in what few things I knew i wanted to do for sure .
last .. treat your trip as a vacation. leave your self plenty of free time to derp around and just do what comes naturally even from other people in your "group" alone time is good! . Please be safe and if you have any questions I will try to answer them or I'm sure others will!
Last update/after thoughts. - Honestly we had a great trip and stayed a few extra days. In that time we also went and seen shows and did random stuff. I we seen Ka and that was pretty awesome but the MGM was skechy to us. We also seen "beatles love" and I almost wouldn't recommend it as the show is ok but the story sucked and the theater sucked with tiny chairs. Zumanity was pretty cool but out of the 3 I would go see Ka first. We don't regret anything and again I would seriously recommend looking at vegas as a serious option for anyone who wants a cheaper but classy wedding.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT=> The Vegas Massacre Exposé: What Really Happened?

What Really Happened in Vegas on October 1st? Was ISIS involved?
By Wayne Allyn Root
The Vegas Massacre is clearly the new “JFK Murder Conspiracy” updated for the 21st century. The whole story stinks to high heaven. It’s rancid. Clearly, our own government, FBI and Las Vegas police are involved in some sort of cover-up. The question is- what are they covering up?
Las Vegas is my home. I have the top radio talk show in this town. Many dozens of Vegas residents have gotten in touch with me to give me their take on the Vegas Massacre. Included in that group has been MGM employees, top MGM executives, survivors of the worst mass shooting in US history, as well as law enforcement and retired homicide detectives. From my own gut instincts, investigation and these interviews with key players, I’ve pieced together this story. It’s not a pretty picture.
Like any good detective, I have lots of working theories. A good detective doesn’t rule anything out. Maybe it really is as simple and clean as “Stephen Paddock did it, case closed.” But there are way too many unanswered questions, problems and mysteries with that storyline.
So here are my “Top 20” nagging questions, inconsistencies and theories about the Vegas Massacre…
#1) RAMBO.
How did an overweight, out of shape, 60-year old, anonymous guy (on no one’s radar) with no military training and no military or law enforcement history become Rambo overnight? He carried out this plot with no help? Got hundreds of pounds of weapons to his room? He broke open a hurricane-strength 800- pound window? Set up sniper-type guns? Pulled off worst mass shooting in America’s history with no training, no help? Even though the one over-riding theme of every survivowitness I’ve spoken to, or heard from is…they saw or heard multiple shooters. Yet the FBI and Vegas police immediately discounted this theory. Why?
#2) The Constantly Changing Timeline.
Did guard Jesus Campos arrive before the shooting started, or after, or during? Why has the story changed so many times? Why can’t anyone get it straight? It’s telling how authorities finally settled on the one timeline most beneficial to MGM- the single biggest employer in a “company town” called Las Vegas. More on this under the Jesus Campos storyline.
#3) The Police Homicide Division isn’t Investigating the worst mass shooting in U.S. history?
FACT. I had guest on my Vegas radio show from a recently retired Vegas homicide detective. The detective reported that the Vegas Sheriff did NOT give the case to a division of 30+ experienced Vegas homicide detectives who deal with murder all day, every day.
He gave the case to a short-handed division of Internal Affairs that investigates police officer’s accidental discharge of a weapon. Huh? The Sheriff gave the worst mass shooting in US history to a small division of five cops who have never investigated a homicide? Why?
#4) The Vegas Sheriff.
Sheriff Joe Lombardo. In the interests of full disclosure, I was a fan. I supported the Sheriff in his election. I feel he is in very tough position here. MGM is biggest employer in this town and a huge donor to his past and future campaigns. During press conferences, it’s clear Sheriff Lombardo is under restraint in what he can and cannot say. The Las Vegas FBI bureau chief stands right behind him in every press conference with a look that could kill. The FBI clearly doesn’t want Sheriff Lombardi to reveal much. Why?
Since literally every Vegas Sheriff in history retires and goes to work as head of security for a large Vegas hotel for $250,000 per year (like MGM), and Vegas is a company town with MGM being the leading employer, and billions of dollars are on the line due to liability, insurance and tourism issues, it’s easy to see why the Vegas Sheriff is in tough spot. This might well explain the lack of information forthcoming from the LVMPD (Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department). Everyone involved is in a difficult spot.
#5) Where’s the video?
Vegas has video cameras everywhere. After NYC terror attacks we had videos on TV within hours. In this case…in hotels covered by hundreds of videos…6 months later we’ve never seen one video of the killer walking through the hotel. Why?
#6) The girlfriend.
Marilou Danley just happened to fly to Philippines a few days before her boyfriend carried out worst mass shooting in US history? Really? Great timing for her. And she just happens to admit her fingerprints could be on the ammo? And she just happened to erase her Facebook profile within an hour of the shooting…even though no one had released the name of Stephen Paddock in the media. How did she know it was him? How did she know to erase her FB page?
Oh, and the Philippines just happens to be a ISIS Islamic terror hotspot. And Paddock just happened to wire her $100,000 in the Philippines days before the massacre.
And Paddock just happened to have child porn on his computer. And ISIS is known to make money through child sex trafficking and child slavery. More on this “child porn” connection later.
#7) Money laundering.
Paddock had no obvious huge income stream. Paddock himself bragged that he was “one of the biggest High Roller video poker players in America.” Really? He lived in a $300,000 home in Mesquite, Nevada. That’s as middle class as you get. No one in his neighborhood could afford to gamble millions of dollars on video poker.
Sounds a lot like money laundering to me. What better way to mask money laundering than running millions through a Vegas casino. Who money launders? Terror groups like ISIS.
#8) Rich or “Heavily in Debt?”
First, we were told by the media that Paddock was “rich” and “a huge High Roller.” Of late, the Vegas Sheriff changed the story to “he was heavily in debt and may have had a grudge against casino for heavy losses.” Which one is it? Why does the story keep changing? Paddock left an estate of about $5 million. Why would he be angry at MGM over a few losses in the past year? How was his $5 million fortune earned? Money laundering still fits the puzzle. Perhaps he made partners along the way with ISIS?
#9) Paddock Paid Off His Marker?
This has NEVER been mentioned in the media once. I got this inside scoop directly from Paddock’s longtime Mandalay Bay casino host. Paddock owed MGM $100,000. On Friday night before the massacre Paddock won $100,000 playing video poker. If he was planning to die on Sunday he certainly would have blown it on hookers and cocaine. Or bought a Maserati and had it shipped to his girlfriend. Or gambled even higher amounts with the $100,000. But that’s not what Paddock did.
Instead he took the $100K and paid off his $100K MGM marker. He paid off his debt in full? Why would a crazed killer do something so responsible? Why would a suicidal man do that?
He wouldn’t. This was a man expecting to come back to MGM to enjoy many future free High Roller suites (provided by MGM). He clearly wanted MGM to keep giving him VIP treatment. This was not a man planning on mass murder and suicide within 48 hours.
#10) Child porn.
Police say they found child porn on Paddock’s computer. But it was announced after the shooting, Paddock’s hard drive was gone. Removed from his computer. Nowhere to be found.
So how did police find child porn? Not one journalist questioned this development. No one ever asked, “Did the hard drive miraculous re-appear?” Police never said a thing. First it was gone. Then they found child porn. Strange.
But if in fact child porn was found (on another computer removed from his home, or office) wouldn’t it make sense to investigate the connection to ISIS and the Philippines, where child sex trafficking is a primary mode of funding for Islamic terror groups?
#11) Every single witness from that concert that I spoke to, or heard, claimed there were multiple shooters.
Some swore they saw multiple shooters. Some say they were being fired at from different directions and levels. Yet police and FBI have ruled that out. So, all the witnesses are wrong?
#12) Jesus Campos. The “hero” security guard. Did he show up before…during…or after the massacre? His timeline changed multiple times. Why? MGM coaching him on timeline to make their liability less severe?
Why would the ONLY witness to worst mass shooting in US history be allowed to leave the country days later?
Worse, HOW did he drive many hours to Mexico with a bullet hole in his leg…only days after being seriously wounded? He needed a cane to appear on “Ellen” a month later. Yet he was fine 3 days after being shot? Does any of this make sense?
The amazing thing never mentioned by mainstream media was Ellen is not only a comedian, but she has multi-million-dollar partnership with MGM, with Ellen themed slot machines. So the only witness to the worst mass shooting in US history gave exactly one interview EVER. Ellen herself announced it would be his only interview ever. Yet it was arranged to be given exclusively to a comedian who is partners with MGM?
Where has Jesus disappeared to since? Never seen again? Is he living in a penthouse of a MGM property somewhere in world with millions in bank, courtesy of MGM? FBI and police don’t find this odd?
Top security execs at MGM called my radio show. All of them said they never heard the name Jesus Campos in their lives before the shooting. How is this possible?
Was he even registered as a security guard with State of Nevada? Or with MGM? Friends of mine got into the MGM database and Campos name either was never there, or it was scrubbed from the system. Why? An investigative reporter friend of mine reports Campos name was never in the state of Nevada system.
#13) Terrible & faulty security at MGM.
I have written about this storyline in my Las Vegas newspaper column multiple times. Dozens of MGM employees have called my radio show, or emailed me, to tell me how terrible security was at all MGM properties. My newspaper columns lay out a condemnation of MGM and their pathetic CEO Jim Murren. See:
https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/opinion-columns/wayne-allyn-root/commentary-guards-paint-an-eye-opening-picture-of-mgm-security-policies/
Murren slashed the budget for security…fired experienced guards…hired part time guys with no experience our training…he made the properties a gun free zone…had inferior walkie-talkies with dead zones all over the hotel…employees had no crisis training…no one was prepared…MGM had no rapid response SWAT team…Mandalay Bay changed guards at the exact same time each night: 10 PM- which is why the shooting started at that time when security was most disorganized…and worst of all…MGM let High Rollers use freight elevators with no security present, or questions asked. MGM guards called me to say they could NEVER question High Rollers about anything, or they’d be fired. So, no one ever asked Paddock a thing.
Amazingly, nothing has changed. Today, months later, my spies report they got on a Mandalay Bay freight elevator and went up to infamous 32nd floor. No one stopped them. No one asked them a question.
CEO Jim Murren is a pathetic, bleeding-heart, liberal who believes in donating MGM shareholder money to organizations like CAIR (called a Muslim terror front for Hamas by even Democrat US Senator Chuck Schumer) and The Southern Poverty Law Center (who puts Christians on “Hate Lists”). See two of my columns about MGM CEO Murren:
COMMENTARY: MGM’s CEO risks angering many of his customers
COMMENTARY: Sun publisher’s defense of Jim Murren comes up woefully short
Murren should certainly be under scrutiny for his incompetence and lack of proper security at Mandalay Bay, yet the liberal-biased mainstream media has protected him. They’ve never aimed the cannon at him once. Why? Are liberals protecting a “fellow traveler?”
#14) The mysterious stock sales patterns of Jim Murren and top MGM execs and Board of Directors in the days before the Vegas Massacre.
See:
COMMENTARY: More questions surrounding the Las Vegas Strip shooting
Why hasn’t media reported this? Is anyone aware by pure chance/coincidence the CEO of MGM sold most of his MGM shares in the weeks leading up to the massacre…and so did his top executives and some of his top Board members. How strange is that timing? When does this EVER happen at a public company?
I’ve never heard of a CEO of a public company selling off every share in his own company. What a complete lack of confidence. Does anyone think this is strange? Has anyone in the media ever asked the CEO about this? His eye was certainly not on the ball. Knowing all of this, it’s certainly not surprising that Paddock (or his partners in crime) chose a MGM property for the site of The Vegas Massacre.
Why has his MGM Board kept him employed? He’s a CEO that sold most of his stock, then presided over the worst terror attack in US history. These issues don’t concern the MGM Board? Bizarre.
#15) ISIS.
Here’s the BILLION DOLLAR question no one wants to discuss. Why? Did the FBI miss an obvious sign again? Does MGM have serious insurance issues if this attack is declared “terrorism”? Is Las Vegas worried about tying ISIS to Vegas and hurting tourism? Yet the signs were clear that there could be a connection to ISIS from the start.
First, ISIS promised in a video (covered in blood) in the Spring of 2017 to attack Vegas. See:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/isis-video-featuring-las-vegas-strip-viewed-credible-threat-article-1.3196042
Second, the Vegas Massacre had the M/O of several previous ISIS attacks. They seem to enjoy attacking concerts and hotels. See the Paris nightclub concert and Manchester Arianna Grande concert. Not to mention numerous hotels attacks throughout the world.
But this never occurred to the FBI?
And Paddock (or his partners in crime) just happened to pick a country music concert? A place filled with people hated by ISIS or any Islamic extremist group- whites, Christians, Trump-loving conservatives. Coincidence?
But this never occurred to the FBI?
Third, then ISIS took credit 4 times for the Vegas massacre.
Never before in history has ISIS ever taken credit four times for any terror attack.
The FBI immediately announced ISIS wasn’t involved. How strange is that? ISIS promised to attack Vegas. A hotel and concert was attacked. ISIS claimed credit four times. The FBI took five minutes to rule them out as suspects.
The Islamic terror experts I interviewed on my radio show- to a man- all believed this had at least some Islamic terror fingerprints on it…all believed ISIS has to be (at the very least) a leading suspect…
and all agreed ISIS does NOT have a history of taking credit for attacks they aren’t involved in. The ISIS experts I interviewed reported a false claim by ISIS only happened once- at a Philippines casino. And even that attack is in dispute. The Philippines government calls it a robbery. Many terror experts believe it was clearly ISIS coordinated.
In history, ISIS has never taken credit for any attack four times. Still the FBI ruled them out almost instantly. Why?
#16) Did CEO Murren & MGM pay for a terrorism insurance rider?
This is just an educated guess. I called several insurance experts. All reported that typical insurance policies for billion dollar hotels don’t pay off for terror attacks. The company needs to purchase an expensive additional insurance rider specifically for terrorism. Yet MGM executives who have called me all claim that Murren is cheap and focused 24/7 on cutting costs.
If MGM had no insurance rider for terrorism, they desperately need this attack to be classified as “murder by a madman” versus “terrorist attack.” It’s the difference between collecting a billion dollars (or more) from insurance…or nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. This could be why police, FBI, MGM and everyone involved is so desperate to not mention terrorism. MGM is the world’s leading gaming company. Billions of dollars of stock investors, thousands of jobs and the economy of Las Vegas are all effected by the classification of this attack.
I made this guess publicly for the first time on my radio show when interviewing an attorney representing 50 of the survivors. He was in Vegas that day for a meeting of all the attorneys from across the country involved in this case. He was shocked at my educated guess. He stated live on the radio that this was exactly what his fellow attorneys suspect.
#17) The autopsies.
The Las Vegas coroner refused to release the autopsies. The media had to sue to get information released. The media won and the Nevada Supreme Court ruled the information had to be released to the public. See:
Nevada Supreme Court overturns Las Vegas shooting autopsies ruling
Yet at that point, the Vegas police demanded $500,000 to release mountains of their info on the Vegas Massacre to the media. Once again, a Nevada judge had to rule they have no right to do that. See:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/03/judge-rules-police-cant-charge-media-huge-fees-for-vegas-massacre-information/
Strange. Why are Vegas authorities so desperate to not release information on the Vegas Massacre to the public?
#18) Trump.
There is no biggest supporter or defender of President Trump than myself. I think he’s the greatest conservative president in U.S. history. But he’s been strangely silent on this high-profile incident. It’s not just any incident. It’s the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Even liberal Trump-haters have to agree on these points. President Trump loves controversy. Right? He loves to weigh in on every crisis or controversial issue, right? He doesn’t care if he offends anyone, right? He loves to dominate headlines, right? Don’t all liberals agree about that?
But the President has mysteriously steered clear of this story.
NEVER a peep from Trump about his theories on The Vegas Massacre. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Crickets. In the almost 6 months since this terrible event, the President has never said a word…no theory…never ventured even a guess. Isn’t that strange? Out of character?
#19) To sum it all up…
We’re almost at the 6-month mark. And we know as little now as the day after the massacre.
How can this be? After every other mass shooting we know everything within hours. With this one, the most-high profile mass shooting in U.S. history, we know NOTHING. Zero. We’re completely in the dark. Don’t you find this strange?
But I’m not done yet…
I’ve saved the best for last. Drumroll please…
#20) Now here’s my biggest theory/mystery of all…
The Timeline:
A working theory of mine.
A highly suspicious/mysterious timeline, almost impossible it could be a coincidence…
October 1- Vegas Massacre
October 25-29- Just days after Vegas Massacre, President Trump’s son-in- law Jared Kushner makes secret unannounced trip to Saudi Arabia- as per “Politico.”
Purpose? As announced by Politico- “President Trump is asking for Saudi Arabia’s help in “combating terror financing.”
Media reporting on what they termed a “secret trip.”
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/29/jared-kushner-saudi-arabia-244291
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/jared-kushner-took-secret-trip-to-saudi-arabia-report/article/2638933
http://www.newsweek.com/jared-kushner-trump-officials-made-secret-visit-saudi-arabia-695859
November 5- Only days later, the roundup begins by the King of Saudi Arabia and his security forces- they arrest, detain, interrogate and TORTURE over 300 billionaire Saudi Princes. These are the most wealthy and powerful men in Saudi Arabia. Why? Why does this happen only days after a last-minute, secret visit by Trump’s son-in-law with an urgent diplomatic message from President Trump?
See media reports:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5108651/American-mercenaries-torturing-Saudi-princes.html
https://www.globalresearch.ca/american-mercenaries-torturing-saudi-elites-rounded-up-by-crown-prince-blackwater-is-allegedly-involved/5619654
http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-senior-figures-tortured-and-beaten-saudi-purge-1489501498
Even more remarkable of a “coincidence”…
One specific Saudi prince who was arrested and tortured was Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who just happens to be the owner of Four Seasons hotel- on the top floors of Mandalay Bay.
Read a story on his torture:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-23/alwaleed-bin-talal-hung-upside-down-and-beaten-us-mercenaries
See CNBC story on the arrest. CNBC compared it to arresting Bill Gates or Warren Buffett in the USA. See:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/06/saudi-crackdown-would-be-like-the-us-arresting-warren-buffett.html
That specific Prince was then transferred to highest security prison in Saudi Arabia to be tortured. See comments from his business partner Bill Gates about the arrest:
https://www.albawaba.com/business/bill-gates-alwaleed-bin-talal-1054336
Civil Rights groups announced to the media how worried they were about the billionaire prince. See:
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/saudi-arabia-alwaleed-prison-human-rights/2018/01/17/id/837776/
This doesn’t seem more than a little strange? Could the timing of all of this be just a little coincidence?
A prince worth $15 to $20 billion…partners with Bill Gates in owning the Las Vegas Four Seasons…just happens to be arrested, tortured and imprisoned in highest security prison in Saudi Arabia?
All happening within days after Vegas Massacre, which happened to occur literally on his property (just floors below his hotel).
Meanwhile President Trump- who loves chaos, crisis and controversy- is strangely silent. Not one word about the Vegas Massacre in 6 months.
All a coincidence?
Or was the Vegas Massacre some kind of international incident involving Islamic terror cells either coming from Saudi Arabia…or financed by Saudi billionaire princes sympathetic to the ISIS cause?
Were these 300+ arrests of billionaire princes by the new King of Saudi Arabia within days of getting an urgent diplomatic message from President Trump just a coincidence?
Or was all of this based on what happened in Vegas?
Have I put 2 + 2 together? Certainly, this storyline and timeline is worth exploring and asking questions. The mainstream media has never said a word. Crickets. Asleep at the switch.
As wild as all of these questions and scenarios are, they make far more sense than the story we’ve been told by FBI, police and our government.
The scenario I’ve laid out makes far more sense than the fact that we know nothing about the worst mass shooting 6 months after the fact.
We know nothing about the shooter, or his motive.
There are no videos.
There was no suicide note.
A 60-year old overweight nobody, with no military or law enforcement experience, became Rambo overnight, and without help, pulled off the worst mass shooting in US history?
If you believe that story, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Was ISIS involved? Did the shooting involve Saudi Arabia, or the financing of some kind of terror cell by radical Saudi princes? Did Paddock act alone? Did MGM have the necessary terrorism insurance rider in place? Who the heck is Jesus Campos? Why is the FBI appear missing in action? Why are Vegas authorities so desperate to keep information out of the public’s hands? These are all questions that need to be asked. The big question is…
Why is no one asking them?

Summer Splash Las Vegas 2017 Review

I've seen a few posts (1,2,3) mentioning or asking about an event called Summer Splash Las Vegas. I attended this year and thought I would provide a full review and AMA since I couldn't find any reviews elsewhere online. It's a multi-week event in (you guessed it) Las Vegas, Nevada in the US featuring a variety of different EDM artists performing at various pool and club venues.
I attended Week 2 this year (2017 for those reading in the future) and had a great time. The lineup can be found here for now but I'm sure it won't be around long so here it is:
The schedule consisted of 2 performances per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The morning events usually opened their doors around 10 AM and the evening events did so around 10 PM. However, as you might expect, the headliner did not perform until several hours after the doors opened. Typically, the morning events had the headliner start anywhere from 2 PM to 4 PM with the venue closing around 6 PM and the evening events had the headliner start around 2 AM with the venue closing around 4 AM.
Summer Splash lists recommended arrival times for each event and I found them to be both helpful and accurate. It's not necessary to arrive when the doors open because Summer Splash has a separate entrance for every event allowing you to skip the normal entrance lines which were sometimes dozens of people long. However, the venues reach capacity quickly as Summer Splash states and arriving about 2 hours after the doors open is usually as far as you can go before risking the doors to close as the venue gets full.
The cost of the package for myself was about $600 including taxes and fees for 5 nights (Wednesday - Sunday). I was staying with 1 other person and they paid about $100 less because the rates for women are discounted. The price goes down for each person with more people in your group and the longer you stay. You can choose anywhere from 2 to 5 nights and up to 10 people (in which case you get a much larger room of course). My room had 2 queen beds and was perfectly adequate. The stay was at the MGM Grand which I could easily write a separate review about but suffice it to say it's an impressively large hotel with some great restaurants contained within. You can easily get everything you need in the hotel including drinks, snacks and meals.
The package includes the stay at the hotel as well as admission into all of the events on the schedule. The events are open to the public but this is where you really get a lot for your money. I asked several people at different events how much they paid to get in and depending on the event, I heard anywhere from $50 to $100+ just to get into one event. The nightclub events are particularly expensive. The ticket price for Zedd was about $115 according to the Omnia nightclub website on the day of the performance.
Finally, everything in Vegas is obnoxiously expensive. A Bud Light (pretty much the cheapest beer most places) was $11 - $13 depending on the venue. Bring cash and expect to pay $50 or more for a large mixed drink, often sold in a souvenir cup. Buy some drinks in the hotel or along the strip to pregame before the events. The performances were a blast and it was probably the closest I've ever been to these artists performing so it really is worth it.
Some tips:
Here are some pictures to get an idea of the crowds and venues: https://imgur.com/gallery/VRLMn
Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.
