    My Trip Report

    This should be more cigar and single malt heavy than CSVII since I'm with my cigar appreciating crew this time.

    Lots of restaurants on the slate. Mon Ami Gabi, Grand Lux Cafe, among others. Oh, and likely Carmine's at Caesars Forum since I have $50 credit there.

    Lots of lounges/bars also. Going to hit the new Montecristo lounge at Caesars. And the usual favorites, Skyfall Lounge, Seahorse Bar, Chandelier at Cosmo.

    Probably not much gambling. A MLB bet or two is likely.

    Is it too degenerate to use these on the 6:30am flight?

    No! Just consider it making up for lost time yesterday!

    Have a great trip! Always wanted to visit the Seahorse Lounge, maybe this trip I'll make it.
     
    Ladies getaway, somewhere on the strip with a pool :)

    Have fun - I will be very interested in your take on Montecristo.
    I have a good friend that is a "Cigar Snob" too and was wondering
    if I should take him there on our next trip. Looks interesting in the description.

    Looking forward to your report.

    Whole crew was starving, so Peppermill breakfast before we check in.

    Inaugural visit to the Caesars Montecristo Cigar Bar. Obviously requires a Montecristo selection here, so this is a 2003 Montecristo No 1.

    Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban alongside.

    Now at Le Central at Paris watching Cubs vs Nationals. $100 on Scherzer and the Nats at -125. Scherzer struck out the side in the first, good start.

    Partagas Salomones Exclusivo de La Casa del Habano. Lighting this thing is a commitment.

    How'd you take that picture to show a shadow of Caesars?

    Just happened that way, it's reflection off the plexiglass on the pedestrian overpass. Thought it looked cool.
