    Stu is a patient gambler, picks his spots. I'm sure he will play at 1:33am when conditions are perfect. What he won't play, is bubble craps. I tried.....

    Lunch at Johnny C's. @eliza found this place. Best diner ever.
    Eggs Benedict:

    Actually, a little bit of spiciness to them. Great, but I'll stick with the incredible chicken fried steak with throw up gravy and a homemade biscuit.
    Also, I love that their hash brown patties have homemade mashed inside.

    That's because the dice just pop up in the air and don't hit the back wall.

    When you get back home, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is exhibiting at The Tower Theater, barely across the Philly border in Upper Darby, PA (home town of Tina Fey ), shows until the end of November.

    Following along. Sounds like you’re having a great trip. Did you tour the Lost Spirits Distillery? I’m thinking about putting it on my must do list. Good luck!

    G2E:
    Smaller this year, but really a party for the industry personnel. I counted 9 wine/beer bars. All free to everyone. If I wasn't drunk yesterday I would have partaken. I'll be back tomorrow, heh heh.
    Latest in roulette
    Latest in craps
    They sell chairs, software, legal advice, electronic innerds...etc

    Lost $1000 at Venetian craps. I will be checking in there tomorrow and I have a lunch ressy at Mercato de la Pescheria. Looking forward to their lunch special.
    Tonight, a salad after that 2000-calorie eggs Benedict.

    Up at 5:30 am. Pack, and out of Bally's. Moving to Venetian. Paris craps...-$800. I am now even on the trip. Not bad for a week of heavy gambling but still, I was up thousands.
    .
    G2E, part deux:
    3 coffees and 2 cappuccinos later I'm bouncing off the walls. Some specific pics...
    My new luggage tags IMG_20211006_105539054.jpg
    My new manicure set IMG_20211006_105615358_HDR.jpg
    My new 'drier balls' IMG_20211006_105835237.jpg
    My new ultra-light weight backpack
    IMG_20211006_105745071.jpg
    And a bag's worth of mini chocolates.
    I love swag.:):):p:p
    Bubble Craps I would play IMG_20211006_104918055.jpg
    Bingo bling IMG_20211006_104705544.jpg
    Sex sells IMG_20211006_103900527_HDR.jpg

    Lunch at Mercato de la Pescheria:
    $21 lunch special not available during conventions but I made reservation yesterday in person and the hostess said she would put on the ressy to give me the lunch special. (Easily a $60 lunch by their menu prices.:eek:)
    Caprese salad, meatball sandwich, zeppoli with chocolate sauce. IMG_20211006_112106378.jpg IMG_20211006_112924469.jpg IMG_20211006_113303096.jpg
    IMG_20211006_114801284.jpg
    IMG_20211006_121206513.jpg
    The caprese and zappolis were excellent (how can fried dough with powdered sugar and chocolate sauce not be excellent?). The meatballs were good. I'd rate this an excellent deal.

    Yes, I will hit the 8-9 wine bars at 4:00 pm.
    When I awaken from my stupor, laundry.

    This shocks me, normally they have a decent crew at Ballys. Why are there no Box Man at CET games? Is this recent? An El Dorado change?

    CET pulled box men off of their games years ago. Just a cost cutting measure. Many companies followed suit.

    Lost Spirits Distillery:
    Unique. Interesting. Very dark. Well worth the price of admission.
    Here's my joke: I wasn't sure if I was in a distillary or at Hawk's gym. IMG_20211007_125100592_HDR.jpg
    IMG_20211007_133747902.jpg
    Also, they give you snifters of rum, not cocktails. Educational. Again, unique.
