My old job sent me to Nevada and I was pumped to check off another state (despite being less-than-pumped about why I got to do so). We were to be in Vegas for a week.
The first part of the week was finishing up a big project. The second part was celebrating being done with said project. Oh, the stories from the night we finished up…
After work was done, I flew Will out to join me in Vegas. Due to all my flights and hotel-stays for work, his flight and our stay at the Cosmopolitan were free (perk!).
Will and I aren’t big gamblers (or small gamblers, or gamblers at all, really) but we made our way through the casinos playing the cheapie games. We slowly learned that you should never buy your own drinks in Vegas. If you are playing a game, someone will bring you a beer. I won about $30 on a game called Unicorn Magic and felt pretty special.
Our hotel had a very swanky casino, but some of the other casinos along the strip were very depressing – full of stale smoke and sadness.
We had a fancy dinner at the Mandarin Oriental one night and spent part of another day in Banana Republic (sales tax in Illinois are brutal, so we take opportunities to shop elsewhere… though, really, as an accountant, I always pay the state back at the end of the year for the difference in sales tax because I’m super fun like that).
Theresa says
Whaaaat? How do you figure how how much the difference is in sales tax every time you buy food/go shopping in a different state? Do you have a spreadsheet where you enter the tax? And is it illegal not to report this?!? I had no idea! We always used to drive to Wisconsin to grocery shop cuz the sales tax on food was less than in IL.
Helena says
I do keep track (though, granted, it’s easier in that I’m not on a border). You are supposed to report it, yes. It’s called Use Tax. Most people use the pre-calculated method (the IRS estimates how much you owe in Use Tax based on your income level). It’s on your state tax return.
