News and notes from around the interweb:
- Imagine choosing this as your vacation. Most readers here would have some status or use the app instead of standing in line! But this is still a real problem for Vegas that keeps repeating from Resorts World to Caesars properties over and over. Then imagine being charged for parking, charge a resort fee, and $11.99 ATM fees, $89 for mac and cheese and $32 for a jack and coke.

- Even at $23,000 per year, you’re still just a “[Member Name]” to Marriott.
- Premium airline, premium galley cart.

TSA stopped my 102-year-old neighbor because their system said he was 2. He thanked them for the compliment.

They charge whatever the sheep will pay.
Who goes to Las Vegas anymore? So early 2000s
It’s settled: Skip Vegas. Bye Felicia!
On the Amtrak ‘situation’ referenced above, there really is limited ‘security’ on the trains (gulp). I know, I know… “shall not be infringed” but also “well regulated” so let’s try to balance those a bit better. No one ‘needs’ an ‘arsenal’ on a train, even if they ‘believe’ it’s their ‘right.’ Gotta balance their ‘right’ with everyone else’s ‘liberty,’ you know.
For a premium butt crack experience, fly Delta.
And yes, the double entendres is intentional.
@Thing 1 — If you’re attempting the ‘meme,’ it’s “please consider Delta.” Right, @Matt?
On the TSA story – was that before or after Kristi Noem started fudging data in the Social Security Death Index?
My last experience with Lifemiles was a miserable one – the hardest miles I’ve ever earned – the the Puerto Rican Bank that used to issue their cards. I swore never again. I still haven’t found a use for my Lifemiles years later, but another 100K of them for $250 and to be able to deal with Amex seems tempting.
@Retired Lawyer — Are you referring to ‘dog killer’ and happy Smile Texas customer, Kristi Noem? Naw, that couldn’t all be the same person, could it??
