Main Story

Role reversal 

 

Bill’s Budget Tips:

  • Pizza is your friend
  • Do your gambling downtown or at Treasure Island
  • Go to ABC or CVS. Do not go where you limo or cab driver wants to take you.
  • Go during the middle of the week
  • Buy access to the VIP lounge. The net cost is less than you think.

    •  

    John’s Luxury List:

    Get a pool cabana - it’s worth every penny 

    Try a pre-fixe French menu at least once in your life 

    Order at least one high-end spirit or cocktail per day 

    Pay for the room with a view

    Buy access to the VIP lounge
