Los Wage? Sin City? road trip

 Chris decided I needed a vacation so we made plans to get away.  USUALLY  that means Laughlin, but no rooms were available so we decided to try Vegas.  I must admit, I really don't like Vegas all that much, too noisy, too busy, too Vegas-y  but we had free rooms at Bally's.  HAD Operative word in that sentence.  They screwed up the dates and we couldn't get the freebie.  We play a game called MyVegas that gives you free rooms and shows, even if it is  little restrictive- you have to stay three night to get some of the comps. We opted for Mandalay Bay.

The adventure began when the GPS said there was an accident on the 210 and rerouted us.  Through the Angeles National Forrest. I don't remember ever going that far through the forrest and while it was interesting, it was harder on Chris who was driving the twisty winding roads.

Since we each bought a room, we wanted to make sure that the reservations could be joined and we would have the same room both nights. tired for FOUR DAYS to get someone to answer the phone. Nope.  We got here, having packed super light in case we had to move. The person at the desk corrected the issue and we are in the same room.  Service in this hotel is spotty at best, the people when you can get them are perfectly lovely and it is not their fault their management is crummy. There is NO internet WIFI connection and no way except for Chris' Hotspot connection.  we are paying for it but it's not here.

We did have a lovely meal at RiRa an Irish pub  in the hotel.  Our waitress Sinead was lovely and recommend an excellent moderately priced whiskey. The food was very good!  It made me happy.

We are off today to another adventure. I made the mistake of MOVING a coffee cup and was charged ten bucks for the error.  It was two cups of horrible coffee, to borrow my friend Ruth's phrase you could read through it.  Hot bean juice with powdered creamer and a ton of sugar.  bleh  I hope for better as we venture out for breakfast this morning.
