Thank you so much eightblack and welcome to my TR! Always a pleasure to write TRs for Flyertalk. Aww thank you so much I cannot agree I am extremely grateful to have such a good relationship with my Mother too! I definitely understand not liking Vegas at first, especially for a work conference as you typically don't get to enjoy the city that way, even though the convention business is a big business in Vegas these days, with a convention center that's bigger than the ones in many other U.S. cities and not including the various hotels that offer convention centers. I am so glad you ended up getting to go to Vegas for a 3 day break and that you got to really enjoy it. What did you end up doing? What was your favorite part? Thank you so much eightblack cannot wait to hear back from you!

Hi brandie and welcome to my TR! Wow thank you so much I am gratified that my previous Vegas TR was able to help you with your trip, even if it is something more on the planning end. I cannot agree more Walmart pickup is a great service indeed!

While I prefer Costco, Sam's Club is fine and carries a few items that Costco does not sell.
Hi kmersh hope you are doing well! You are right Walmart is a funny company. Although their in-store shopping experience is not the best, I take it for what it is being a big-box store and the ones by me in South Florida and more recently, Orlando, where I also traveled to recently, happen to be pretty good thanks to clean and well stocked stores and when I deal with them, polite employees (I seem to be lucky in that regard with Walmarts I have used in FL). You are so right their website and delivery experiences are excellent!

I do love Costco too and happen to go there regularly. As for Sam's Club, I don't have much experience with them, since Costco is far more convenient for me and has what I need, if not more. I am sure I would like Sam's though.
