    One favor, if possible could you not use thumbnails and click the full image option after you upload pictures instead like this?

    Just arrived in Vegasss! Gorgeous weather.

    The Uber experience from airport to hotel was interesting. They have aviation security manning the lot and won't let you pass unless you give them the stall or row number where your driver is located. Many were confused, but all you need to do is contact your driver for the info.

    At the Cosmo now! Got my Identity cards and checking in. Some gal came to the couple in front of me and gifted them a bottle of wine as they were checking out! Nice!

    - $20 Sandwich did not work. Cheapest upgrade was $50 a night, ah well. She did mention that rates are higher due to Super Bowl weekend - glad I'm here at all! :)

    That's interesting because I did not encounter this just last weekend. It was pretty chaotic in trying to find my driver. I did not have to give the stall or row number to anybody? Last time I went to Vegas (2 1/2 yrs), there was no Uber or Lyft so it was all new to me.

    Lunch at my jam, China Poblanooo! Split the bill with my fried, tried some new things. :)

    The soup dumplings were very well made, but I wasn't too keen on the crab. And the lambdas surprisingly good, but rich! IMG_20180201_133953.jpg

    IMG_20180201_140833.jpg Checked out the pool for an hour, spent some time in the hot tub...

    Social Hour is about to start at a couple places, then we're heading to Ross for shopping, then walking down to Fashion Show for more. Possibly. :)

    Also I found the Art-o-Mat! I had NO idea you could actually buy those! The one I tried was broken, but I went to the gift shop and they gave me some to choose from. Cute cat for the WIN! Friend and I joke that's the best investment of the trip - and only $5! :)

    Stumbled into this doughnut place. Pretty sure I've been meaning to try it for a while but didn't know they had a Strip location.

    Onwards to Ross!

    Delicious Social Hour dinner at the Cosmo, went to Scarpetta.

    The polenta is fantastic, so creamy and flavorful. The short rib anglotti was very rich but just the right portion. House made tato chips were great, as was my Il Dolce Limone. 10/10! And, half of our $42 bill was paid with points. Winning!

    Now watching our Golden Knights kill it - at Cosmo Sports Book. :)

    @Richard Alpert you kill me.

    @thecarve more food to come! And drinks. :)

    Golden Knights won in overtime yaaaay! Watched it on the big screen. Celebrated by playing my favorite Sex & The Cityyyy gaaaaame! $60 in, more than that out! And scored $5 Freeplay via the Quest for Riches or whatever it's called. :D

    Got a Fancy shake at Milk Bar - but the ice cream with alcohol alone is too much so, couldn't finish it. Now off to Excalibur to drink $50 worth of drinks for half the price!

    Drinks at Excalibur, $25 off $50 (roughly 4 drinks), and it's karaoke at the bar, so it's fun! The DJs are super energetic and the performances are actually pretty good!

    Also.... This tier upgrade happened. Those of you that followed along on my Thanksgiving TR might remember I kicked ass on Black Friday gaming slots at Mirage. So much so that I'm fucking Pearl with MLife! Never thought I'd see the day! Now I got free parking at all their properties till Sept! :D

    Free White Castle is a win!

    Brownie on a stick, and my favorite lil sliders with extra cheese. :)

    Now for some more gambling! Lost $40 at Excalibur on this stupid WoF game. Sad day.
