    Partagas Corona Gorda Añejados with Macallan 18 at Vesper in Cosmo. I love this place.

    Isn't Vesper Bar off the gaming floor? If so, I'm a bit surprised you could smoke there. Nevada is pretty strict about smoking everywhere except in the actual casino.
     
    Holy Hotel! These new ones. Plus ParkMGM before, MGM/Cosmo after!

    Well it's marginally attached to the casino, I guess. I won't bother asking any of the staff about it. :)

    Nevada must give the casinos a lot of leeway on that, because a place like The Foundation Room or Rhumbar is no way marginally attached to the casino floor.

    Drinks and smoking! Sounds like my kind of trip but add lots a degenerate gambling on the side. Great photos! If Vegas takes away smoking they will all go bankrupt. It would be a stupid move and I probably wouldn't return. It's one of the things I love about it. Here in NY you are practically spit upon for being a smoker. I don't smoke in my home either so on vacation it's so nice to be able to smoke indoors. Lol

    More seahorses at the Bellagio Conservatory than there are in the fish tank at Seahorse Bar in Caesars.

    Impressive walk through fish tank here.

    Skyfall Lounge. My first time here since the remodel. Why is there only one table along the glass now? No matter, it clears the view for us from the couches anyway.

    New policy is no smoking/cigars until 10:00pm. Not ideal, but at least not a total ban.

    View still can't be beat.

    These gals were lucky enough to get the only table at the glass. What a strange setup they have out here now.

    Cohiba Siglo V's for the whole crew. Perfect night on the balcony. And a great set by DJ Technicolor.

    Getaway day and my cousin's wife insists on breakfast at HHAGG. Leathery pancake was tolerable enough that I could down about a quarter of it.

    Changing a craps table felt at Bally's.

    I would like to point out that I was not the one who spilled a drink on it last night. No, really.

    That looks terrible and cooked too high of heat! I would have sent it back!

    That was probably my brother! Lol I swear every time we gamble together in Vegas he spills a drink or usually MY drink he knocks over! He can be completely sober too. Never fails! I learned to wear black when I go out with him. ;) Were you losing and did it on purpose?

    I enjoyed your TR and the pics, thanks for sharing! As A fellow daily cigar smoker I definitely enjoyed your report. I am looking forward to visiting the new Montecristo Cigar Lounge at Caesar's Forum Shops as I believe it opened right after my last trip this March. Not sure what I was thinking booking a trip at the end of June but oh well I'll just have to drink plenty of beverages to stay cool. Thanks again, great selection of cigars!

    Hey Remmerde I really enjoy the occasional cigar but other than i like a mild/Medium flavored one i haven't smoked enough to know what is good. Any suggestions for that type of stick that goes well with bourbon?
