I woke up at 3:30am for a 6am flight this morning from Seattle to Vegas. I know, it was early, but it was the cheapest flight. Got to watch the bottom line, you know. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Anyway, the flight was uneventful and I arrived at the Venetian at something like 10:30am. Turns out that my room wasn’t ready yet, so they held onto my bags while I had some breakfast. I thought about going to Bouchon, but it was too much trouble (off in some tower on the 10th floor or something like that). I’ll try going there a different day for something.<\/p>\n

While reading the New York Times at breakfast, I got a call saying that my room was ready, so I finished up and finished the checkin process and headed up to my room. I had to wait quite a while (something like an hour) for my bags to make it to my room, which was upsetting, but the room is quite nice. It’s got to be 650sq ft. or so. There’s a bedroom, a living room, and a very nice bathroom.<\/p>\n

So far the most dissapointing thing about the room is the internet access. My wireless signal strength is VERY weak, ranging from 18-30%. Bleh. I have big packet loss, pages keep timing out, etc. It’s a pain.<\/p>\n

In any case, now that I’m settled in,\u00a0I think it’s time to hit the casino for some craps or blackjack. <\/p>\n

What I could really go for right now, strangely enough, is some movie theater popcorn and a pay-per-view movie. But alas, no popcorn is on the room service menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
