Not cheap, but not expensive either

My idea for a Christmas vacation won't be as cheap as I thought. I read the fine print when looking up the "complimentary room stay" offers on Pop Slots; the offers can only be used Sundays through Thursdays and don't include holidays. My initial plan was to stay on Friday and Saturday night then check out on Christmas on Sunday. While a free room wouldn't be possible in this case, I looked up the room rates for Christmas weekend and found a single king room at the MGM Grand would only be around $218 total for two nights. There are other hotels I found that are much cheaper, though they don't have discounts through Pop Slots.

The combination of isolating due to COVID and not wanting to go out due to depression has caused me to put off taking out my trash for a while. I bagged it up today to take out later.
