THANKS!
The first two nights at the Four Queens...and then 5 nights at Planet Hollywood.

Flying Spirit out of Detroit.
I am dismayed to learn that they have lowered the weight limit for checked baggage.
It USED to be 50 pounds...it is now 40!  Darn them anyhow!

Welcome!

It's hard to keep up with all the changes in any business now! That's the first I've heard of the new weight limit.

Hope you have a terrific time and win lots of money!!! Looking forward to the trip report. :)

Yes..it was a surprise to me too.
It is a good thing I double checked or I would have been over the limit!
And they charge another $25 if you are over
Thanks for the good wishes.

I'm sure they're counting on a lot of people NOT checking!

Bring LESS.  lol

I finally checked my bag coming back, because of the TSA nazi giving me a hard time about
"too many toiletries"

SHE was talking about the hotel toiletries/Samples that I'm not about to Leave at Caesars.
I even told her (and its True) I donate them at the end of the year to a Homeless Shelter.
SHE didn't care.
So I had the choice of throwing out ALL my Caesars amenities, or Leaving security and going
back to Southwest to check in my bag............which is what I did. :disgusted:

Long story short..........my small 18" bag (for 4 days of travel) weighed 18 lbs. 
Including the Toiletries.

So you CAN do it.  Lighten your Load. ;)
Where's the BIG Progressives???
