Scandis in Vegas - a November TR (11/13 - 11/25) - Page 8 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Maybe the flights will get better again in 2023 and I can make it more than twice! Although, as stated by BigWhale, I am lucky/fortunate to be able to do that and should not take it for granted.

Thanks a lot

My goal is to go 4 times next year, although it depends if I decide on a longer trip or not. Haven't booked anything yet though, will wait to see if I get any better offers from MGM Rewards next year before deciding on any dates.

What's the issue with flights that prevents you from going as often as before? You might have mentioned it in one of your TRs, but I don't remember.

Flights seemed to have more than doubled recently

Used to get there from the local airport for $300 - $400 and now it's ~$800 (for the decent flights).

I am tracking flights for next summer and have noticed the same thing.

I did pay $250 to fly American in October and that was with a carry-on, so I'm hoping flights come down in February, which is what I've noticed in previous years.

I booked a February flight from Bismarck for like $180 including checked bag with Allegiant. I didn't wait for it to go up

Yes, comp-wise it's much better to lose to casinos than to lose at poker.

With that being said I just booked the next trip, but will have to wait a while. Going back May 29 for 2.5 weeks. Nothing until then, this year has been way too exhausting in many ways, including 5 trips to Vegas.

Don't forget, by the end of May it will be plenty toasty in Vegas.

Wow, 5 trips in one year. I could never do all that flying. I might not have flown as much in my lifetime as you did in 2022.

Oh yeah I know, I was there this May as well for WSOP. It’s still much easier to deal with Vegas heat in my opinion than the humid heat that we have here.
