Upon arrival at Luxor, I was able to valet the rental car since I am a
MGM Rewards Gold Member.
That Luxor beam is pretty cool!
MGM Rewards VIP members get complimentary snacks and bottled still or
sparkling water now in the VIP counter.
I got dinner at the El Diablo Cantina at Luxor while I was waiting for
my buddy's flight to get in.
After picking up my buddy, we went to South Point to gamble and watch a
comedy show. I love playing Gold Fish slots. This
is the
new "Feeding Time" version. I had some bonus spins here.
The Dirty at 12:30 is a complimentary comedy show at South Point every
Friday night. It was not bad.
My friend and I went to Palms the next day for their champagne brunch
at the A.Y.C.E Buffet.
A.Y.C.E had lots of good choices for brunch items.
The crab legs and cocktail shrimp were great!
After brunch, the Pinball Hall of Fame was the next destination.
I loved the vintage baseball themed pinball machines!
They had some James Bond pinball machines too!
Patrick, Chad, and I are enjoying our salads fresh off the spinner at
Lawry's The Prime Rib.
The carver is cutting my prime rib here at the table on the portable
carving cart.
I had a Weller 12 to go with my prime rib.
It looked like there were more invited guests for the private Zac Brown
concert over the Kane Brown concert a few months ago.
I am wearing a new Ariat t-shirt and my Remington hat.
Zac Brown did all their great hits including Homegrown
and Chicken
Fried.
Carolina Jones recently joined the Zac Brown Band. I was
hoping she would do her hit, Gulf Coast Girl.
I saw my nephew the next day and got to play with him. He
asked me to help him refill his Pez here.
CINCO DE MAYO PARTY IN REDDING
Our friends in Redding had a photo booth this year at the Cinco de Mayo
party!
We are chilling with the friends up in Redding at the party here.
The margaritas are great!
Even the Skeleton is having a good time!
MGM Rewards invited
me again to a private concert in
the spring of 2023. This time, Zac Brown Band was doing a
private
concert for us MGM Rewards VIPs! Since Joy and I had so many
travel plans in May, she opted out so I invited a buddy of mine to join
me in Las Vegas for the epic concert. I booked the Luxor
Tower
for the two nights of accomodations. Unfortunately, our trip
was
slightly delayed that Friday night since there was an issue at the
airport for most flights. However, once my buddy arrived, we
departed for South Point to gamble and attend an adult only "dirty
comedy show."
On Saturday, we enjoyed the Palm's
A.Y.C.E.
champagne brunch before gambling there. The champagne brunch
was
awesome, and their desserts are great! I love the gelato
flavors
they had too. Afterwards, we checked out the Pinball Hall of
Fame. This place had lots of classic pinball games including
those baseball themed games too. I loved the baseball ones a
lot!
After enjoying the pinball games, we met my old high school
buddy
for dinner at Lawry's The Prime Rib for dinner. The prime rib
was
amazing as usual.
The concert started promptly at 8:00 PM
like the
Kane Brown private concert did back in October of 2022. Our
seats
were pretty close to the stage. Zac Brown did all of his
hits,
and I loved how he called out the media for dividing us when he did
that one verse on Chicken
Fried
that says to salute the brave men and women who gave their lives for us
all so we could enjoy our chicken fried and a cold beer on a Friday
night. I was very impressed with the concert! The
best part
was that the concert was a private complimentary concert for MGM
Rewards VIPs!
On Sunday, I got to spend qualtiy time
with my
nephew at my brother's house. We had a fun time building
things
and hanging out. He gave me a nice hug as I departed for the
airport.
The weekend after the concert was an
epic Cinco de
Mayo party at my friends' home in Redding. These friends host
the
most amazing parties, and they got an actual photo booth too for the
party this year! We loved all the tequila as well as the
great
catered Mexican food. The group of friends we have in Redding
are
very cool!
