Check out day. Time to go home… again. We checked out of Paris and left our bags with the bellman while we went out and grabbed some food, went shopping and played a few more slots. I was somewhat disappointed to find out today that you can actually go up to the top of the “Eiffel Tower” at the Paris hotel. That would’ve been really fun for Denise and I to do last night. Oh well… next time.

Our flight was around an hour late taking off due to some sort of accident involving the refueling truck. Supposedly they even called in an ambulance for the guy. Not really sure how something like that happens when those things probably go like 5 mph.

Because I had to dig the Explorer out of several inches of snow at the Park N’ Fly and help Denise dig her car out too, I didn’t get home until around 1am. Bed time!

I headed towards the airport and drove out to where all of the rental car places are. But after driving through once, I never saw a Fox rental office. Confused, I looped around and drove through again. Still nothing. So I called Fox’s number only to be told that Fox rental no longer has a location in Las Vegas, despite what the agent told me. I had even paid the $150 drop off fee to drive to Vegas. Heck, he even gave me directions there.

So I spent several minutes with the Fox rental district manager while he kept repeating fairly obvious and unhelpful things like “How can you be in Vegas? We don’t have a counter in Vegas.” I kept telling him that wasn’t my problem since his own agent told me I could drop off in Vegas. Finally, he agreed to see if he could work out a deal with a rental agency here. After getting the runaround and being sent to a couple different agencies multiple times, we finally managed to ditch the car.

From there, we went straight to the Paris hotel where we were staying. Our room was quite impressive. We spent the rest of the night walking the strip, playing slots and even visiting downtown. I tried to show Denise the fountains at the Bellagio, but much to my disappointment, they were turned off due to “high winds.” We finally went back to the room and crashed at around 4am.
