Sorry, I forgot, I had to doctor your Hoffman to Sturgis route to create my Dogg House to Sturgis route.  Maybe that was the difference...but I did keep the labeling the same as you had, aside from the Hoffman part.  ;)

Hmm, strange that the naming was tripping me up this year.  They just refused to load when I would go to the trip planner section of my GPS.  I have them all loaded and ready to go!  You want a practice round before the big trip?  I'd like that too.  I need to give my new windshield a test to be sure I want it in front of my face for a few thousand miles.  No more barn door, or at least not as big of a barn door  :o.

Tomorrow wont work for me, but maybe Sunday or next weekend. 

How about these loops?  Meet at Peillican Rapids and there are multiple food venues along the route.

That could work! Tomorrow would probably be the only day I can make work, as I have my nieces birthday party next weekend (Friday evening and Saturday in New Prague, MN.) I will be available Sunday next weekend but I was planning on getting things ready and somewhat finalized for the trip that day.

Gentlemen,

So, we had a cancellation of our accommodations in Las Vegas but AirBnB is giving us an extra $46.08 on top of the $460.75 we had already spent of the other place for a total of $506.83 for 2 nights.


Hey, the 33rd or 51st floor of the Palms Place is still available...

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22730324?s=51
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22166691?s=51

and now it is cheaper, only $394 (33rd) or $292 (51st) for 2 nights, still with the cleaning fee of $180, but the total is now just $574 or $472, respectively! (I can pay the cleaning fee if that would sweeten the deal for anyone...)

or these:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17719005?s=51 = $258 for 2 nights
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/24655935?s=51 = $297 for 2 nights
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/24250722?s=51 = $372 for 2 nights
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6971317?s=51   = $476 for 2 nights
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22410708?s=51 = $495 for 2 nights +$180 cleaning fee = $675

These are the only ones I looked at, there were many more (about 130 total)...

Let me know your thoughts.

Later,

Nate Dogg

It sounds like 51st floor it is.  And dont forget the discount from the previous booking, right?

What was the parking arrangement again?  Underground or ramp?

Gentlemen, the 51st Floor at Palms Place is booked!

Russ, I am not sure how the whole thing will shake out...it paid for the whole updated stay via a coupon for the full amount.  Nothing new from me...but I am not sure what happened to the difference being that it was actually cheaper!!??

*UPDATE* They credited my account for the difference, but did not include the extra $46.08...I assume because it was less than the original amount.

Also, the parking arrangement, as I know it is, parking ramp valet or non-valet.

I have updated the attached itinerary. We will need to change the GPS files to include the new Las Vegas address.
