We got VIP invites to a business mixer hosted by Vegas4Locals and Cloud Nine on March 30th. We invited friends and business associates so we'll know lots of people there. $1 cocktails, $5 hot air balloon rides, exotic animals, free food from McFaddens, should be fun!
What else... Checked the comps for tonight, we can get free tickets to The Mentalist, Las Vegas Comedy Show, Nathan Burton, Dirk Arthur, Rat Pack Show, Sin City Comedy, Louie Anderson, Divas, Sin City Comedy, or Gordie Brown. Also 35% off of Cirque du Soleil or Criss Angel. Great deals, but we have classes tomorrow so we'll wait.
We each get $5 off anything at Pick Up Stix tomorrow so we'll be going there for dinner. Entrees start at $4.99 and the dragon bowls are FAB.
We're going to attempt to get up at 6am and leave at 7 so we can hit the early riser breakfast at Promenade before class. $1.99 for a full breakfast and unlimited drink/coffee and only 3 miles from school!

The Irish Show
So I thought I'd backtrack a little since I just started this blog.
About a week ago we got emails from South Point offering us free tickets to The Irish Show (Ragus) with Elaine Canning. We each got 2 free tickets for a total of 4 free tickets and 4 free drinks. We got to pick any seats in the entire showroom. We picked front and center of course. We had Rum & Coke for the drinks.
We took 2 friends from school with us and we all had a blast. Elaine was spectacular and the entire performance was fabulous. The tap dancers were amazing, and they all threw some comedy in and then interacted with the audience. Those of us in front had a bit of a wait to get to the door as everyone was leaving at once so a bunch of us started dancing and formed a conga line, it was hilarious.
The show was fantastic and if you get a chance to go it's well worth it. It went almost 2 hours. Lots of traditional Irish dancing, instrumentals and then Elaine sang traditional Irish songs. The tickets are normally $35 each, and I'd say it's worth that.

South Point & M
We got up around 8:30 this morning. Got ready and then decided to do our freeplays at South Point & M. We let the dogs out for a few minutes then gathered our stuff and and headed off.
I opened the garage door and backed out only to see SNOW falling. After a few minutes we decided to put the Mercedes back in the garage and drive the Tahoe, because the Mercedes needs new wiper blades, which I forgot to get. So instead of squinting through a smeared window we switched cars and off we went.
Lots of Hwy Patrol out and about today, including our neighbour across the street who got a new HP HEAT ginormous pickup truck. Saw him patroling on Blue Diamond, plus a couple more HP and a few Metro.
We pulled into South Point (2 more Metro cars parked in front of SP, plus another driving through the parking lot). and parked outside because the Tahoe is too huge to try to squeeze into a little space in the garage.
We had $10 freeplay at South Point. We found 2 Rapa Nui available and put $5 in each. Nothing on one, not much on the other until we hit the random progressive for the mini, which was $11. So we played on that, got in the bonus once, which paid $7. After a few more minutes we were even so we left.
On to M, where we had mystery freeplay. We parked in the garage cos we were freezing (40F!). Checked the card and found $5 freeplay. So we put $5 in the wild Tiger Japanese machine, which did pretty well, bounced around between $20 and $30. We cashed at $15 and went to the Red Lions. Paid a few good hits... a $5, $7, $6. Then it sucked it in for about an hour. So we went to lunch.
We have Buy One Get One Free vouchers for Red Cup Cafe, Studio B or the Deli. We thought about Red Cup Cafe but there was a line so we hit the VIP line at Studio B. There was a HUGE line at Studio B but our VIP line only had 2 in front of us so we got in right away. So the 2 of us had lunch for $16, drinks included (wine or beer too). Went in and had a nice lunch... I had Coke, salad, orange chicken, mac & cheese, kielbasa with fried apples, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, fried shrimp, cheese cubes, then chocolate 'lato. Mom had coffee and milk, various salads, Thai cucumber salad, tomato & mozzerella, white bean soup, cold cuts and cheese, kielbasa and fried apples, pears, cheese, fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, and nougat 'lato. Because we get so many free buffets we try a little bit of several things, so we had about 2 or 3 bites of each item. We do buffets in a sort of tapas style, sampling bits of this and that.
Went back out and tried a few spins each in Miss Kitty, Silk Kimono, Jungle Wild, Jewels of Africa, Monkees, Grand Monarch, Red Lions, etc. Nothing! Blah. Sunday we went in and played Red Lions and hit $80 within the first 5 minutes. Today, zippo. Oh well.
So we left. The sunshine was out when we came out and its 49F now. We just got back and are about to clean the bunny cage. Mom worked last night and we both have classes tomorrow.
Nothing good in the mail today except a couple good sales at the grocery store. Glaziers has a good one, we buy 3 lbs of stew meat or cube steaks ($3/lb) and get a free bag of potatoes, bag of carrots, rolls, salad and gravy (all free). Vons has Kelloggs Corn Flakes for $1, which the dogs LOVE. Fresh & Easy has ground beef for $1.59/lb.
Yesterday though we got a flyer from Gold Coast... we earn 200 same day base points and we'll get $10 freeplay, $10 match play and $10 restaurant credit, so we'll go over there Friday probably.
Right now, we're going to watch the Tivo and heat up some pizza hut pizza & wings we had delivered Saturday night.
