Viva Las Vegas

October 12th, 2009

Back in September, we laid down the cash for a condo rental in Vegas. Just a bit off-strip, but not unbearably so, it came to just a hair over $180 for the week – one of the benefits of being timeshare owners, I guess.

I wondered, at the time, just how much it was going to cost to fly there – you see, the week we have is from 11/23 through 11/30 – the week of Thanksgiving. All of the flights were looking really, really bad for when we wanted to fly. But we did some tweaking and got into a pair of tickets just the other night for a pretty good deal. Certainly significantly better than the $580 we had been looking at.

Now I’ve found us a rental car, again through the timeshare company, for a meagre $140 for the duration of our stay, which, thankfully, we won’t have to pay out of pocket for until we’re there. Add to that the costs of eating, drinking and being merry, and we have a very exciting vacation planned.

And let me tell you, it beats the hell out of staying in Denver and cooking turkey for two.
