I think this just gets back to how many either misread or make assumptions. If you'd read my Adventures thread you know that we drive in because we have too much luggage, and generally come home with even more stuff than we arrived with, and don't even live all that far away. California isn't that far. I even answered some questions about what kind of car we have for the drive. I recall once part of the evidence that was used to establish that I wasn't that sock that came into WOV and pretended to be me, was that we were en route driving back from Vegas while that bozo was posting in my name.
Even so, everyone has a checkout day, whether it has a fixed hour or not. But when I referred to people hunched over desperate to win as it gets closer and closer to departure time - I was talking about the people who do that, not me.
If you read my threads carefully, you'd also know that back when I used to fly in, alone, I used to have the room comp'ed all the way until the next day so that I could leave whenever the day before, and not have a specific checkout time. And still, I advise against playing on checkout days.
Even when all we are doing is moving from one resort to another still in Vegas, I don't play on checkout days at the departing resort, and might not even play at the arriving new resort, because that merges into my other rule of not playing on check in days, because I might be tired. If we're arriving from out of town, I definitely will not play on check in days. I might bend the "don't play on check in days" rule if all we are doing is moving across Vegas one resort to another.
The point being that when we go to Vegas it's an open ended trip for the most part absent some business or other event for which I must be back in town on a certain date. Or until my wife gets sick of Vegas, which she gets tired of it well before I do. I almost never want to leave.
But still, the day comes inevitably where I have finished that day's session and it has been decided that we will leave the next day. And that next day, I will not play, we will simply leave.
