    Enjoy your trip! I recently returned from a trip to Bellagio and IMHO they did a great job with protocols and cleanliness and all reports from the Wynn indicate they are as well. I hope you find the same.

    Work for the day completed! So now I am turning my attention to packing for tomorrow. First decsion, trying to decide what to download onto my tablets to watch during the flights. I will probaby watch basketball during the flight out tomorrow, but will definitely need something to watch sunday on the way home. I am leaning toward The Boys on Amazon Prime.

    Also just got an email asking me to confirm my SW reservation. So ready to be there

    What basketball are you watching, downloaded UK games? Of course, you'd only watch ones they won!
    Will be following your escapades.

    lol, you kid, but I do have DVDs (and once upon a time, VHS) of past games I loved.

    Down to deciding between downloading the first season of The Boys or the last season of Shameless (not sure why; that show jumped the shark a while ago, but I guess after you have watched so many eps it just becomes habit).

    Also, I have decided with certainty to cancel the Mizumi reservation for Friday night. Does anyone have recommendations of a Wynncore dinner they like that includes outdoor seating (not SW or Lakeside)? I may still try and get one of the outdoor tables at Mizumi and skip the teppan room. But if that's not available, I am trying to consider my alternatives. Part of me thinks I have seen a couple outdoor tables at Sinatra, but not sure I have ever seen anyone sitting at them.

    lol, Givens is just before my time. Though I would love to see some of those games form the 84 and 86 team again. I remember when Pitino recruited Mash! That was the class that helped get the program back on track. True to my screen name, when they were on probation that didn't allow their games to be on TV (something that would never happen now), I listened to all their games on the freakin AM radio (and the team was not good)!!!! So I might as well have been cheering for Rupps Runts or the Fiddling Five!

    We ate at Sinatra when we were there a few weeks ago, and they are definitely using the outdoor tables. Everything was excellent, highly recommend.

    We also ate dinner Saturday at Jardin. I know it is typically more of a breakfast and maybe lunch place, but was pretty good if you are looking for something a little more casual, but not quite as casual as Charlie's or Allegro. And they have outdoor dining by the Encore pool.

    Thanks. I will likely try for Sinatra as my backup plan. I have never been to Jardin. I ate at Botero once and it was just ok (a little below my expectations). But that's still good to know that they have outdoor seats

    This trip sounds promising! These days just relaxing in a beautiful suite with room service for days sounds like heaven, we could probably all do with a decompression like that, throw in that fabulous shopping spree and that’s a winning trip already! Safe travels and all the luck, look forward to your updates. :beer:

    That reasoning is a big part of the reason I decided to go for it. I have had an n95 mask sitting in my basement for a year, so I feel pretty safe on the plane with that. And if the casino and other plans feel too crowded and dangerous, I am still more than happy to relax in the suite for a few days, read a book, meditate and chill!
