First of all, I like to get a car service because when my bags are too heavy, I need help to carry them because the long taxi/shuttle line will end up hurting my back too severely. Here is a VLOG of me looking for my driver at the bag claim:
Showing up at baggage claim!
The other ritual I do every year when I arrive in Vegas is I have the driver stop at CVS so I can get snacks and drinks for the ten days ahead of me.
Might as well get the heavy drinks now, so the bell guy can carry my luggage and the drinks when I first arrive to the hotel. I also do this so I don't have to carry the snacks and 2 12-packs of drinks from CVS to the Riv. As you can tell, my doctor has instilled in me I need to take care of my back.
Here is a pic of what I bought (except I forgot to put the water in the pic).
Snacks and Drinks!
Everything is expensive in the casino and convention area, so I buy sodas, liquor, and bottled water and snacks for the week. Here is also a video of Tina P and I at CVS that first night to the Riv!

However, I have decided after I packed to go home, that with more than half the water still left and more than two thirds of the soda left, I wont do this next year. I also had most of the snacks left over, too, and they are tough to bring back home because they are either bulky snack boxes or bags that get crumbled.
I drink a lot of the cold water during all my events from the coolers set up for the players in the convention center anyway. I am an advocate of drinking lots of water when I play pool. Further, If I do have a drink or two in the convention center, I still order drinks there just because it's easier and convenient.
So, next year I will end this ritual. :(
My departing ritual involves what I eat at the Las Vegas airport before I fly out. Check out my VLOG about what I buy every time at the airport when I leave Las Vegas:
