What a great report...I'm exhausted just from reading it....sounds like you
had better luck with traffic than we have ever experienced...which raises the
question...how much a day did you lay out for gasoline/parking/tips?

Most of my coupon runs began about 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM so traffic and
parking was really never an issue. I could usually get pretty close
to front row parking in most garages and surface parking therefore
quick in and quick out.
I spent $55 for the week on gas so divided by eight days that would
be about $7.00 per day. But not all of it was related to gambling
activities perhaps 67%.
Other than the day we arrived at Red Rock all parking was self park
so that cost $0.00. So I guess my total parking costs was about $4.00
(which was tips for Valet at RR). But none related to gambling.
Other than normal 15% to 20% restaurant tips and $1.00 comped drink
tips, the only significant gambling tip was $10 on the $1,250 VP win.
Also on a $20 or $25 MP win, I'd always tip a $1.00 but unfortunately
there were only about 12 of those. So that would have been about $12.
I also tipped a few times on $10 MPs wins so I'd estimate maybe
another $15. So I guess my total gambling tips were a little about
$50 for the week.
