    I’d go silent too! I’d be playing Scrooge McDuck back in the suite.

    So after the Royal hit I had a couple of beers and headed off to the slot pull. I called in at Paris for a beer and a chat with one of the guys behind the bar. Then off the Cosmo to meet up with some board members, always nice to put faces to names. My best slot pull yet as didn't make a loss.
    My thanks to @WelshBlonde for putting it together. After leaving there I headed back to Tuscany where nobody about so went next door to Platinum where I found Drinker, had a few beers then back to Tuscany for a nightcap.

    Just in Aria having a drink and heard the barman telling somebody that all the service bars are robots. He was saying 17 people lost their jobs, MGM tighting the purse strings. Also a guy gambling next to me was told it's $20 in and you get a free drink every half hour, the guy said he thought it was after 14 hands but apparently not.

    So today has been a walk around on the Strip, went to Tilted Kilt for a beer and some food. Thought the England game would of been on but they couldn't find it on a channel. Ended up watching it on my phone, after there went to O'Sheas for a beer then walked over to Miracle Mile. Went to a memorabilia shop, they have a couple of signed items from the film Major League which interest me.

    From there walked over to Aria for a couple of drinks then walked through Park
    MGM and NYNY. Currently having a beer on Tropicana.

    A friend of mine who works at NYNY put a video up of the drinks dispensers they have to use instead of bartenders now. It doesn't look great to be honest. Will try to find it and repost here.

    For any Lady Ga Ga fans on the board, her dresses are on display next to Park Theatre.

    After Tropicana made my way back to Tuscany to get changed. Had a beer in there then met with Drinker and Junior in Stage door. First time I had to be swiped with a metal detector to get in a bar, they told me I missed the fun. Security chucked out a couple because she was giving him a hand job under the bar.

    From their me and Junior went up to Tilted Kilt for a couple, he went back to Tuscany and I went to O'Sheas. I finished the night at Platinum.

    Saturday was a chill day with playing VP in Tuscany for most of the afternoon. Had a freshen up and stayed in the bar to watch the F1 then a few more drinks before heading to Platinum, finished the night in Tuscany.

    Today is the flight home, just in Tuscany having a last play on VP.

    I loved my 1 week stay in Tuscany in July, and did plenty of low-roller gambling in their relaxed casino. I always feel that Tuscany is a bit of a well-kept secret for low-rise affordable accommodation right near the central strip. Mostly friendly staff, relaxed vibe, never too crowded, spacious rooms, nice gardens. Not luxurious but quite serviceable in my personal view. Happy to see other folks also stay there and enjoy and use and promote the facility. Glad you enjoyed.
