    I haven't stayed or been to MGM for a long time. Used to be my go-to (well, my aunt and uncle's go-to in college). Forgot what it looked like.

    Went to the ResortsWorld in Manila. It was pretty boring. Drank at the bar, then they brought out a variety show in the middle of the bar which had a stage. Towards the end, they randomly had male strippers. Screen Shot 2021-02-21 at 9.24.34 PM.png

    Travel Zoo has some amazing deals but after you factor in flying out of Portland it seems like the SW deals are better.

    The Resort World towers are basically they'll have the casino and resort part. Each tower is a different Hilton property. One is a hilton, one is a conrad and one is something else. I think it'll be expansive like Hilton Hawaiian Village or some shit, who knows.

    Any good accounts on FB to follow for travel deals? I used to follow the points guy, but the site got annoying.

    I don't like paying for a property owned by that lame brain Paris Hilton although we did spend one night at the Embassy Suites during the power outage, which is owned by Hilton.
    I remember the time when Embassy Suites use to offer the greatest complimentary breakfast ever but this time it was lousy. Must have something to do with Covid-19.

    We discovered our free coupons after we checked out. The coupons were in the form of business cards and tucked in with our room keys. That was our first night without power. We were so worn out that we had a night cap anyhow just to relieve some of the stress. Don't recall how much it cost and didn't matter 'cause we needed that one.

    BOOKED to Oahu!

    $360 each for flights, because we needed a different time schedule on the flights.
