Yeah, I fly SW almost exclusively unless I am flying somewhere they don't fly or the price difference is significant. I love their cancellation policy, their customer service, and the lack of baggage fee. Even if my SW flight is 350 bucks, and I could've flown another for 300, I will take the SW flight. Knowing that I can pack whatever I want and check without repercussion is worth it.
EDIT: Also, they have pretty significant and delicious snacks on any flight length of consequence. And only $5 wine, most other airlines are 7-8 per. For $5, I'll get one just because. At 7-8, I only get it if I really want it.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I only flew Southwest one time, when we flew from New Orleans to Vegas for our honeymoon. It was one of the most pleasant flying experiences I've had.
It's a small thing, but I like that the flight attendants are able to fuck around on the intercom. I actually laughed out loud at all of her jokes. I'm always nervous before a flight so its nice to laugh.
Good news is we are going to Vegas over Thanksgiving this year, so I get to fly Southwest again. But it looks like their booking window doesn't stretch as far as other airlines, I have to wait a few weeks before I book.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before (I have, a bunch of times), but I highly recommend eating at the Cornish Pasty Company when you are here.

Appreciate the recommendation! We did OK but not great food wise last time, so I can use some direction. We had one major fail at Bartolotta. It was both humorously banal and the most expensive meal I've ever had at the same time. I see now it's closed. Anywho I don't think we are super high end food people anyway.
We're planning on renting a car and taking a day trip to Zion National Park, and I'm sure catching a show or two. Beyond that we don't have any plans. Probably go to fremont and do a lil' gambling, since we didn't do that last time.

If you like Thai food, Lotus of Siam is supposed to be amazing (I've never been, but only because my husband is allergic to coconut.) The location appears questionable, but don't let that worry you!
There's a place downtown called eat. that does breakfast and lunch. I think there's usually a wait, but it's really good.
When you're on Fremont, Nacho Daddy is a good option. They can get busy too, but last time we went, they gave us a time estimate and took a phone number, then texted us when a table was ready, so you can hang out on Fremont instead of just waiting around outside the restaurant. And if you do a scorpion shot, you get a free shot glass.
The only staple show we've seen here was Penn & Teller and I loved every minute of that (we went on election night, and they managed to keep me distracted and entertained).

awesome, thanks again! we saw penn & teller in biloxi this past fall, great show. as far as shows in vegas go, absinthe was amazingly funny and offensive, raiding the rock vault was surprisingly fun. but the best show we saw was that goddamn michael jackson cirque. hell of a good time.
we did red rock canyon last trip and it was great. we also did the Flightlinez zip line out near Boulder City and that was a ton of fun. we'll probably do valley of fire, IIRC it's on the way to zion. about a three hour drive to zion but i think, as a yokel from the deep south USA, that I'll enjoy the drive as much as the destination.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
My summer bikini body has been thwarted again. I just dipped some pretzels in butter. Which is like a whole new level of fat ass.
Actually, that time I made a mayo/cheetos sandwich was tops. #hormones
Your body is already a summer bikini body, but dipping pretzels in butter sounds pretty artery clogging...which isn't necessary a bad thing if it tastes good that is. LOL

I love my program and am so so happy I came here because it was 100% the right decision for me.
... but jesus christ people have reached psychotic levels of asshole-ish-ness. recruiter session is in 2 weeks (link here for more info.), it's basically the culmination of our entire 2 years of school - there's roughly 100 students & possibly 250 recruiters. so yeah, it's a big deal.
but the pressure from it + overall job hunting + the pressure cooker-esque environment of my program has caused a lot of nastiness. some of my friends have turned into complete dickheads and have become all secretive/sketchy. some people have gotten so fucking stressed about it that they've become intolerable to be around. and everyone's getting mean and overly judgmental about everything. it's just poisoning my feelings toward my (95% positive) 2 years of school and showing people's true colors. it makes me both mad and sad.

I was stressing out thinking about who I was going to see on May 19, Band of Horses who I have seen 8 times (twice last year) or LP who I have never seen. Then it dawned on me this morning...May 19 is Kyle's graduation. I can't go to either show. I was really leaning towards LP because I have just been so into her music lately and I am kind of disappointed. And I have to plan a fucking party now. Shit.

I mean it's just your only son's graduation. #priorities

We will get a college one, it isn't like this is the only graduation he will ever have.
Seriously...do I send out invitations? Make a facebook event? My mom didn't do SHIT for my graduation.

I sent out my own invitations for my high school graduation (and I sent them to every single person I could possibly justify sending them to because I was greedy). Facebook events weren't a thing then, so I don't know about that.

do you really need to have a party? we always just go out to dinner for events like this, with the family, or stay at home and smoke a butt with lots of tasty sides.

Everyone had their party on the same day when I graduated. I think I dropped into 4 or 5 parties in one day. It was fucking stupid and people got upset. I just didn't have a party (except for my family right after the graduation ceremonies).
If you're looking to throw him a party with his friends, find out if they're having their own parties and then plan around that so most if not all can attend. Also, find out (if you can) when the majority of kids are having their parties. Don't want the boy being stressed and partied out for his own party.
Y'all are not helping. LOL Kyle told me not to worry about his Eagle Scout honor court (which is going to end up in May as well) and to focus on the graduation party. He has told me what kind of cake he wants and that he wants a party. That is all I got so far.
I was thinking mostly close friends and family, hot dogs, chips, dip and cake. I guess I will do a combo facebook event/invites. Our house is really not ready for a party quite yet.

And, hey, congrats on raising a kid to adulthood!
His friends don't go to his school and most are already graduated. Plus being a younger mom, he grew up with mostly adults since there were no kids in our neighborhood and none of my friends were having kids yet. There are specific people he will want there and I will let him send out invites to anyone else. This will be after the graduation.
Oh and thanks! I can't believe my kid is graduating and going to college in the fall.
