    I went to Park MGM area, VGK playing this afternoon so great atmosphere around the T Mobile Arena. I saw a dog with a Golden Knights shirt on, he was carrying a toy shark in his mouth. Pity I couldn't get a pic.

    No idea why, when I went to bag drop I could see a big queue for their CS desk as they had cancelled the Orlando flight. Atlanta was still showing as going. When I got to departure lounge they had cancelled Atlanta as well. There were Virgin planes on tarmac so maybe a crew issue.

    Enjoy your trip. So sad that we are missing ours.

    Never mind, booked for Oct now and we will be back.

    Following along and wishing we were there having a few beers with you.

    Great trip report, as usual!

    Didn’t you attempt to get a drink at every joint on the strip last time? Or something like 25 different places? Are you going to try it again?!?

    Maybe that was @pebbles?

    Cheers @pebbles, I'm here in Oct with some mates so maybe sort a meet up as would be nice to meet up again.

    I have had a couple of goes at a drink at every casino, last time in Feb I wasn't feeling so good but tried it anyway. Still think it's doable so you never know.

    Update on this evening, currently Downtown. Been in my fave place Golden Gate and currently in Nugget for a drink although had to have bottle as draught has run out.

    In Fremont now at Filament bar, one of the guys behind there reminds of the guy from the chapel in the first Hangover movie. The D next then finish Downtown at El Cortez before heading back to the Strip.

    Back the Strip and had a really nice Lyft driver coming back. Really knew his Vegas stuff. Sat in Tilted Kilt at moment with my favourite barmaid serving me.

    Still in Paris but have now moved to Gustevs Bar for a drink or few. I was going to go back and get changed but decided to stay out for the duration.
