If your a Nevada resident and in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand has a buy 1 get 1 free deal at all their restaurants, make sure you mention “locals offer” before ordering.

Thanks to @LasVegasSign for the tweet

As I write this from the jet onboard Southwest Airlines, My experience with SWA so far has been good. It’s not like JetBlue, SWA does not have assigned seating, to board you go by letters, A, B, & C, supposedly in order to get first you have to check-in first via online. Not sure I like that, but I did get a good window seat towards the back of the aircraft. With JetBlue you get to pick your seat, online, although the one you want may already be taken. Another thing with SWA I checked two pieces of luggage and there was no fee, which they promote, one of the few airlines that still do that. JetBlue has one checked bag for free. There’s no meals on SWA but they do have a good selection of snacks for free, and as many as you want, as well as, pop, coffee, and tea/juices. The crew on SWA are very lively and make the flight fun which is cool, unlike a lot of airlines which are dull and boring, like same ol’ same ol’. (not all flights on other airlines have dull crews). One thing SWA does not have but would be nice is on-board wifi, but hopefully in the future that’ll change.
