National Day weekend plans

Mr Liow has earned places in the place they call "Sin City", otherwise known as Las Vegas. haha!

He's been given membership privileges in MGM (we've been offered free stays but chose to visit during Memorial Day and had to pay a minimum amount when hotel prices were charged as "peak season".)

And we've received invitations in our mails lately, free stay offers from Casear's Palace and Circus Circus at the same time (one of them for the month of Aug and the other for Sept). Circus Circus's offer also includes free air travel (for 2 I think. We have to only pay for AN if tt's the case). MGM's offer this time includes free room stay, and a $400 voucher for us to spend.

All these are like too good to be true but since the previous offer was true, we're hoping these ones are too. hmm...Sin is free!

And there is an outlet there too, so even if it's not for gambling (or other sinful activities available there) that we go for, you know why we would choose to go there for a long weekend.

There's are 4 days of no work coming up for National Day (Sgp) this weekend and with all these offers, Mr Liow was thinking of making a trip there again. We either take up Circus Circus' offer of a room and free air tickets (it's like at least 7hrs drive from Tucson..very tiring on Mr Liow and AN, and very time consuming) or drive there and stay at MGM (for the free stay and $400 spending voucher).

If we can't decide, I suggested we take up both offers: fly there for free, check into Circus Circus, then check into MGM (for a better stay and leave the room at Circus Circus empty) and claim the voucher. And then go on a shopping spree!!

All these at no cost!

Dunno if these are all marketing gimmicks. haha!

Anyway with this long weekend, even if it's not LV we're going, we'd follow the rest of the gang to Yellowstone.

The last long weekend we had, AN and I took turns to fall sick. It was a pity coz MGM offered free stay and Michael Buble concert tickets for two. We had to give that a miss.

It's going to be extremely busy 2 months ahead for Mr Liow after this (with ranking and audit checks coming up), so he wants to getaway. So, let's getaway!
