So yeah, I went to Vegas. I spent a lot of money. More than I
cared to, however I was able to stay close to budget! Are you
surprised? I know I am. Here's how it all went down.
I vowed to only spend $20 per day. What I should have said was only spend $20 per day on food. I think that's what I really meant to say. hahaha
My total expenses for this trip to the conference was:
$199.99 for the hotel for 8 nights (Yeah, a TRUE STEAL!).
$230.52 for food over 9 days. My goal being to only spend $20 each day. I spent on average, $25.62 per day.
$313.72 on miscellaneous ($90 of this was in airport fees! Damn checked bags). Remaining $223.72 involved a taxi cab when I returned to Washington, D.C. a few shopping moments that included alcohol ($100.87) and $122.85 in spending money (some of which included some unnecessary gambling).
Overall - I think I fared pretty well! Especially on the food front. Had I not gambled I would have done even better.
Would you have guessed that I'd spend more money spending 8 days in Las Vegas?
Whew! I survived and I still have money in my account!
