(When you have done it few times, this is our 154th Trip in the last 10 years! "Work and Pleasure".)

now thats some record, over 15 times a year,
roughly 10 hours in the air each way is 3080 hours, thats 128 days.

which means in the last 10 years you have spent 4 months and 1 week in the air flying either to or from Vegas.:eek:

I hope you collect air miles:D

im the same as nvh twice in 2 years

good grief!!!! that must be a record for this board.... anyone beat it? (i've been twice in 2 years )

By next April we'll be at 13 times in 7 years and 6 months, but not a chance that we'll catch up with VickyHurn - that's just incredible.

I'm guessing that penny will be closest.

Trets - you can remove the link to the tix4tonight VIP line pass from the first page - they've replaced it with a $2-off the service charge instead - you've been able to get that on tix4tonight's website for ages.

So annoyed as I'd emailed to ask if the line pass expiry would be updated and was told it would...disappointing - we've never actually stood in the proper queue so it will put us off bothering with it, I think.

We're lagging behind at 5 trips in 4 years, although three of those have been in the last 13 months! Going on no.6 in december and no.7 next july, and after that we are pretty much resigned to at least one trip a year as we can't seem to stay away :rotfl:

BMI Diamond Club Miles - Currently sitting on just over 3 Million Miles

Not all the trips are to Vegas that 154 in 10 years to the US in Total, I just went back through my passports a few weeks ago and checked the imigration stamps. And some are 2 trips in one as I get 2 stamps on a New Zealand Trip - 1 Landing in LA on othe way out and one on the way back, as I always tend to spend a day in LA each way on the way through. I think total trips to Vegas are at about 80 Just depends where the work is at the time, and recently its mostly Vegas.


Some Trips are worse than the Vegas ones, They sent me to Christchurch New Zealand. GOt there got off the plane, met at the airport to be told meeting was cancelled, so got on the plane and came home. I normally get 3 days in New Zealand when they send me there. so 4 hours was a record even for me

Although This trip coming up is burning some at the sharp end..

And as work pays for the main trips thats 4 Months 1 week paid at works travel rates (I can live with that)

More than 30 times in the last 8 years. My first trip was way back in 1990, Luxor had just been built, no MB, Venetian, Paris, TI. Saw the Bellagio lake being dug out. I actually did some work in the Venetian laying marble in the walkways in the shoppes for Fired Earth in 1998. Most people don't know that Bovis were the main contractor on that job, English foreman all the workers dubbed the British Bulldog.

done ...what a shame this is :mad: . i'll take not standing in a queue for ages over a few $ saving. Time vs Money....... the time was a much better deal IMO .
