    Checked in at Bally's, got a good room in Jubilee tower with a view of the Fountains. It is, however, the last room waaaaay down the hall. We joked that the walk might sober us up at night. I'll post some pics of it later.

    Now at Sully's Bar enjoying a cold drink and one decent although non-premium quad.

    Haha. At least it's the 2nd best game Sully's offers. With CET, you're mostly stuck with that game unless you want to go to TAG. :( Just hit a bunch of Aces, so the full houses don't matter much. ;)

    Damn! I hope you get all the lluck at Bally's I never had. Terrible VP experience there, but made up for it at pH. With that, enjoy your time in Vegas and Happy Anniversary :)

    Thanks! Funny thing is back in our early days of going to Vegas I hated Bally's cuz I could never win there. But somewhere along the way we stayed there because it was free, and we met super friendly dealers and bartenders, and then won a little, and it somehow became "our place".

    Sitting now at Off The Strip in The Linq. We were starving and stumbled across it. It's Happy Hour so we split some items off that menu and everything was really good. Had a big meatball, Caprese Salad and Truffle Mac n Cheese. Hadn't been here before and we really liked it. The bartender Joey said to tell everyone to come see him!

    Those appetizers from Off the Strip look delicious!
    And I have to add... I like Sully's bar because I always manage to find a spot and the bartenders are so friendly.

    So I've been losing all day and kind of pouting about it, but we just came to Casino Royale and I managed to win$100 on Hangover and $400 (!!!) on Walking Dead, so I'm happy now. Forgot to take pictures though.

    I am so glad vegas still has hangover. We have two new casinos in maryland within 15mins of my house and both of them did away with the hangover game. They also got rid of the original sex in the city too. I miss that one as well.

    So, after winning $500 at Casino Royale of all places, we headed back to home base (Bally's). Decided to play some 3CP so I bought us each in for $100. Had some ups and downs but in the end both felted and walked away.

    Puttered around there for a bit, went to room to freshen up, and now sitting Queue Bar at Cosmo. Hit a small Quad:

    My husband is fairly drunk, but in a cute funny way, not a belligerent jerky way so it's all good! [emoji23]

    There are some at either Venetian or Palazzo that I normally have very consistent luck on. I've been able to sit there for at least an hour and usually walk away with at least 150.00 to 200.00. Plus, it's just fun to play.

    After Cosmo my drunk husband apparently needed an egg roll to go on living so we stopped at PF Changs and had that plus some dynamite shrimp before going back to Bally's to crash.

    Had to get up kind of early today to return the rental car, so that's now done and we are at Ellis Island waiting on breakfast.

    After breakfast we went back to Bally's and puttered around a bit. No wins of note. Our plans for pool time did not materialize. Now sitting at the recently remodeled Center Bar at Paris. It's nice! VP is .50 min. Super cute chairs.

    For some reason it's been really warm inside CET properties, like they don't have the AC on or something. Came over to Cosmo for a bit and its blissfully cool.

    Queue Bar now. The Progressive is up to $1340.
