    Pool complex massive but we just grabbed seats out the main door due to location although I want to scour the entire pool complex and find other places to sit upcoming days. This pool seems more “family oriented” No one to check my bad surprisingly... maybe when you get to the livelier pools (shrug).

    I’m thinking it may already be in the LYFT fare but then I also assume that would be itemized on the receipt.

    A6ED413E-E70B-4B31-8318-E71A4BE2B3EF.jpeg $54 for two Miami Vices... woof. However, totally expected here. Vikki treated which was nice of her. Laid by the pool for two hours and one cocktail as we need some actual human food to keep the motor running. We have our ARIA BOGO to use (of course didn’t bring my MLIFE card but will get a new one printed) and Absinthe tonight at 10PM. Need w shower and change now.

    Considering the price of the lyft fare, I'd hope. This isn't that much cheaper than a taxi anymore.

    They make their real money from the intimacy kits, so it's easy to take the loss on $13 M&M's

    A0E19F6A-8C59-4EFF-845B-2593F0B3A4ED.jpeg Will stop back and have a few of these. GF wanted to stop by Alex and Ani to pick up and item they don’t carry back home. At Miracle Mile now. At that weird time of the day as we need to eat but we also wanna do our Aria buffet BOGO around 5-6 so we can digest and make it to Absinthe at 10. Maybe just a sandwich for now? And damn those $1 bottle of waters sold on bridges come in handy on hot days. Wayyyy colder then anything in any store.

    After V’s trip to Alex and Ani (4 bracelets/necklaces later) had a couple Earl sammys. Been awhile since I had one and still good for the price. Stopped by Cosmo as I had $25 that turned into zilch but Vikki and I had a couple of good hits on other machines...

    Well after Cosmo, went over the Aria to slot and redeem my buffet BOGO. Because of the blackout dates while here, was only able to use to Monday. Waited about 50 minutes in line. Buffet was legit but wouldn’t be worth anything more than the BOGO IMO. Nothing was bad but nothing to be was like WOW but then again it’s impossible for me to eat everything. Highest point was probably the meats.

    The dramatic turn was when.... wait for it... my girlfriend got done with her first glass or water and went for the ice but instead came up with a plastic lid in her mouth. It was like something out of a movie. The lid fit perfectly in the bottom of her water glass. Looked like a lid you’d put on a cup of ranch dressing (or dressing of your choice) to go. She was pretty fucking pissed. Waitress comes over and we tell her and she just says “wonder how that happened?” and tells us she’ll bring a fresh glass. We were 15 feet from the drink service station but instead of getting it right away like a normal person, she goes and takes other drink orders from other tables, delivers all those, THEN brings the fucking water. My GF who because of her line of work has taken ever food safety class known to man said those lids shouldn’t even be around glasses if rye glasses are cleaned and stored properly upside down. Nonetheless we contemplate asking for a mngr but since we gave the lid away to the waitress there wasn’t much else to show. And this wasn’t to get a freebie or anything like that. I don’t complain to get a freebie but when I do complain ie once every 5 years, it’s for people to get their shot together.Waitress was just like meh, no sorry or anything. At least bring the water right away you dumbass. Nonetheless that didn’t spoil our total attempt to have a good time rather that was accomplished via Aria slots

    After dinner walked back to Caesars to rest our legs before the 10PM showing of Absinthe. The show was 100% diabolically filthy and crude and we absolutely loved it. The “acts” were superb and it’s probably the most memorable show I’ve seen in Vegas. If you are PC or don’t like smut then it’s probably not for you. I enjoyed it so much I paid for the overpriced two picture photo album. I only look like a walrus in one of two photos and I knew my gf would like it to add to add to our Vegas collection. Caesar returned the generosity a short time later with a $434 hit on some type of God’s or Warriors or some other muscle guy machine. Puts us each slightly ahead for the last day and a half which is quite shocking. All in all a great last 24hrs.

    This is probably a weird question but how’s the walk to the pool ? Looking for a tower to stay at in Caesars and don’t feel like walking miles lol.

    Palace Tower is best for the pool, its 10 feet from the elevator.

    You want to stay in the Palace Tower or Octavious. Both are back by the pool, but you’ll walk a mile and a half to get to the strip.

    Nice report so far! LOVE the Aria buffet, but their service is ALWAYS SLOW!!!!

    Instead of buying those bottles of water on the bridges, you can get a Venti ice water from Starbucks for $1, and you can get free refills!! Of course, you need to carry around the cup for the refills! LOL! But it is a great deal, nonetheless!!!
