Back in January 2015 I mentioned I would be in Vegas for personal 4 days then work 5 more days. Drexel calls me and volunteers a free room on him at Caesars. This sounded great as my wife wanted to stay there. I had received a great deal on our 4 night stay at TI so that was my plan. Drexel was adamant he "wouldn't let his buddy blow money" and he wanted to "hook me up." So Drexel was gonna check me in under his 7 star and I would be good to go. He told me over and over it was all good, cancel my TI reservation, and I could count on him. So I did
The plan was he'd meet me at Caesars and go through the check in process. We confirmed dates multiple times, it was all lined up. We fly in, shuttle to Caesars, but Brandon wasn't responding to calls or texts all day. Finally we are in the lobby. What now? I wait a little bit, then end up booking a room, but it cost me well over $300 more than my TI reservation.
Now of course Brandon doesn't owe me shit. I never asked, or even implied. He offered. So it was a huge dick move to leave me hanging. 2 days later Brandon finally texts. He had had a horrible bad run and apologized profusely. Hey, no harm no foul. He insisted on buying my wife and I dinner. Having never met him, I decided against taking my wife to dinner with him. Instead we settled on the night after she was to leave. Needless to even say, Brandon canceled that dinner date and rescheduled again. The subsequent night we had concrete 8:00 meet at Mirage plans. He no call no shows again.
And I still let it all go. He has a busy life, he owes me nothing, shit happens. We still texted each other, corresponded on Facebook. But given all the shade he's throwing my way, I felt it was fair to at least put this out there
