Still in line?

I hope your afternoon and evening were awesome!

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday guys!!

So we went to Gordon Ramsay Burger and even though there was a queue it was only a 20 min wait. Well let me tell you it was worth the wait, best burger we’ve both ever had!

Then we went back to Cabo Wabo Happy Hour for more margaritas!

Then we wandered up to the LINQ, Flamingo, etc but didn’t do any gambling. Then AC played WoF in the Bellagio, got 12 free games but only $26 wtf?!

Then back to the room for a quick nap and over to Hattie B’s for dinner, it was really good but the medium spicy was very spicy for both of us. Such a filling meal for $12.50 each!

Then Bellagio for “O”, it was really good and I would recommend it to anyone. Pics to follow.

 

At the Aria pool. This is the warmest morning yet. The casino/hotel is so busy this weekend.

 

Back in the room and heading to the shops for a little bit of retail therapy. We’ve got Jasmine booked for dinner tonight but we are thinking of deferring it to tomorrow and going to the Peppermill for happy hour and dinner instead, any thoughts?

Then we’re going to Penn and Teller tonight - both really looking forward to it!

 

My recommendation would be drinks at Catch and dinner at Bardot Brasserie if you're staying at Aria. Catch may be the sexiest space in town and Bardot is so consistently good food/service wise. Catch also has great steak.

 

Great TR with helpful pictures.

 

We saw that the other day and really liked the look of it. Definitely sticking with Jasmine tonight but will try and get a table at Catch tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

The Pub at Aria for happy hour.

 

Went to play some BJ when AC was getting ready, was getting killed at $10 ph and all players left so just went one $25 bet to round it off and finally hit a BJ, thank you!

Then played some VP, no pics but hit a Royal with deuces and then a straight flush so cashed for a nice $40 profit.

Just getting ready to head over to Jasmine soon and then off to the Rio for Penn & Teller.

 

Dinner at Jasmine was great but typically we ordered too much food!

Then went to the Rio for Penn and Teller which was also excellent, a good mix of magic and comedy.

Then it was back to the Aria for some VP and BJ. Lost $60 at VP and broke even at BJ after over an hours play so not too bad considering.

 

What a day yesterday...!

Lago Brunch was fantastic. Seated on the terrace with perfect views of the fountains. AC had the Antipasto followed by the bacon & eggs and I had the duck & polenta followed by the steak and eggs. Then we shared a few dessert snacks. We both obviously opted for the $28pp bottomless drinks, I had two bloody Mary’s two mimosas and AC had 3x mimosas so good value IMO.

Then we wandered the strip North up to Wynn and then to Buddy Vs for Happy Hour and shared three apps and I had another bloody Mary. Then it was O’Shea’s for some $5 BJ; we played for over an hour, AC made a small profit and I broke even but I got a frozen Baileys comped so class that as a win!

Then we went to Blue Ribbon in the Cosmo for dinner. Such a nice setting. AC had the beef burger and I had the catfish burger, both were excellent along with a couple glasses of wine.

 

Then it was back to the Aria for some gambling. AC played some slots of then decided she was tired from all the drinking about 9:30pm so she went to bed and I went to the BJ table. And then 10 mins later she appeared and it turned out she’d lost her purse! Cue us calling the LINQ, Wynn, Cosmo and downstairs to ask lost & found but no success. Thankfully the purse had no cash and only a few credit cards but she really liked the purse itself (a Kate Spade which she got for her Bday). Then as she’s getting ready to call the credit card companies we get a call from Aria security that somebody had handed it in, thank god!!! Best win of the trip.

Then she went to sleep and I went to play BJ, played for 2+ hours and ended $125 up so not too bad!

 

Today is more pool time at the Aria.

 

So if I’ve accumulated around 40k TCs at MLife during the week (combo of gaming and eating/drinking), I should stand a good chance of getting the resort fees comped right?

 

Another day another happy hour. This time at Tom’s Urban.

 

Enjoying your TR.
I would check with the MLife desk about your resort fee getting comped.
Answer will probably depend on how many of your TC came from gaming.
The host desk/office is right next to the cage.You could also check in there.They will give you a better idea.

 

I liked your TR better when I was in Vegas, too.

Great to see the good times continuing for you, @boofmichael!
