It hit me last night that the Vegas trip for me is about 100 hours long - from Wed at 9 pm to Mon at midnight when my plane shuts the doors. 99 hours in Vegas.
So - instead of laying out the financial budget for the trip, why not list out the time budget for these 99 hours? How can I maximize the gambling time for those 99 hours?
"Planned" losses for the trip:
Sleep - 4x6 hrs? - 24 hours. I think this is a good guess at it. Does it include the nap/passing out at the cabana on Saturday?
Travel to/from Airport - 4 hours
Meals - 10 hours
Golf - 14 hours total
"Watching tv" in the Palazzo bathroom - 1 hour (possibly more)
Total planned losses: 53 hours
So that leaves 46 free hours.
"unplanned", wasted time:
Wandering around the casino/book trying to shop lines/talk to janitors to elicit tips on games: 4 hours
Watching games, hoping for Portland St to score a meaningless basket in the last 30 second to lose 100-44, thus covering the over: 10 hours
Playing the role of a beached whale, sunning myself at the cabana and being a body double for the "before" person on the NutriSystem commercials: 4 hours
That leaves 28 hours for gambling. So if I stay under $50 loss per hour, we should be fine!
(By the way, my body still hasn't adjusted in coming back from France. The last three mornings I have woken up at 5:30 wide awake. I better adjust soon, or else I'll be waking up at 3 or so in Vegas every morning - just in time to see Don come in from poker and strip in front of me. *shiver*)
