Vegas 🐠 - I am planning a two night vegas trip in March where I plan to use points. I was originally just planning to book the Cosmo (most expensive option) but in terms of $/night and cost of points the Westin provides the best value by a considerable bit. Is the cosmo worth it? Or should I book the Westin.. we’re talking $100 more a night if I were using cash but points are twice as much at Cosmo.

Cosmo all day. No vibe at the Westin

cosmo is more boutique and less crazy busy with gambling floors, unlike most others. Has tonier crowd and more laid back

Cosmo. Especially if you’ve got Marriott status and get upgraded to a balcony overlooking the strip.

Cosmo 100%. My wife and I go couple times a year and usually just stay where cheapest, but decided it was worth the point and got upgraded to a suite overlooking the fountains. Definitely worth it!

I’ll stay at the Westin when I’m there for work. It’s fine but it’s like every other Westin you’ve ever stayed at. If you’re going for fun, the Cosmo is absolutely worth it.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
