    Interesting place but fairly dead at noon. We still had fun. We played VP at the bar and beers were comped. Also pay tables were good

    We get to PHo tomorrow afternoon and will probably be playing at Bally’s in the HL. If you see a guy that looks a bit like Harrison Ford and a mousy brown haired lady with him, that’s us!
     
    Happy birthday to me!

    Sorry I didn’t think to get a photo of the pay tables. I was playing DDB and I think it was 9/5

    We didn’t stay long and still got our drinks free. I got a double IPA which was good

    Day 1 recap

    Great flight to Vegas, unexpected limo pick up and a surprise junior suite for my son got the day started

    Both out suites were ready upon arrival so we were able to drop off our stuff before 9 am and start playing

    Son and his wife both had nice quads before they ran out of free plY. Me not so much

    We were at lotus a few minutes before they opened and we’re first group seated. Food was great but it’s gotten pricey. A large Singha’s was $10 and they added an employee health insurance charge to the bill. I always enjoy the food but since moving to the new location I always leave wondering if I should go back

    After lunch we tried out the double down saloon I think it’s called. Very interesting place but dead mid day. Maybe go back later to see how the evening crowd is

    We got dropped off at Cromwell to play a bit and charge phones. None of us did any good. and headed to Bally’s for a bit of Megabucks. Sorry nothing to post there

    We ended back at Paris to play until about 5. Dinner was at the Martorano bar which was very good

    Recap day 1 continues

    DIL wasn’t feeling great and headed to the room before food arrived. My son took her dinner and called it an early night. Lightweights

    I continued in the Paris HL until hitting points for the day. Looks like I miscalculated as I ended up 3500 instead of. 2500. Could be the long day good food but probably alcohol was the culprit

    I also was a lightweight and in bed by 10 pm

    A couple photos from last night

    Day 2 started early this morning. I was in and out from 4:30 to 6:30 and finally got up. Head feels like a baloon full of water today. Sinuses didn’t take kindly to the beer or smoke yesterday. Currently sitting at Gustav bar playing VP and drinking coffee

    A very slow start today[​IMG]

    Lady down the bar is drinking one of this Eiffel Tower daiquiri drinks. It’s only 8:30 am

    I’m not a coffee connoisseur but I really like the coffee at Gustav bar. It’s actually Folgers in one of those select brew machines. Bartender said they get a lot of comments how good it is. I believe it’s Folgers special reserve

    Is that wrong? I feel like you might have posted a picture of an empty beer from 9:30 yesterday. :D

    Guilty as charged...but I was on Texas time..and it’s 5:00 somewhere. Well that’s not an excuse as there may or may not have been an empty beer glass(es) this morning and it’s just now 9:30

    Nothing wrong with the drink. I’m sure those red sugary drinks are lovely but I was thinking how the rest of the day goes after that giant drink. Maybe it was still the night before. [emoji23]

    Nothing wrong with it in my book. I would say 50% of my days in Vegas I'm drunk by 9 am - but that's noon EST. So not quite as bad...but hey....Vegas!

    Sandsfan, this is a TR right up my alley... always wanted to visit Double Down and have been putting it off for several trips now, I appreciate the outside/inside photos and commentary. I also idolize Steve Martorano, so loving the footage from his place too. Lotus of Siam looks great, too bad it's become pricey and they've gotten into the added-charge business. Gotta love that HL video poker porn too. Following along eagerly!

    It's so funny that you mention this just now, as I was at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, ON two weeks ago... and I had lunch at the buffet there. With my lunch I had a coffee, and I said to my server, "I've never asked this question at a buffet before... but what kind of coffee is this? It tastes amazing.". She told me she hears that very frequently, and that the buffet regulars won't even buy coffee elsewhere in the casino now, in favour of having it at the buffet.

    She revealed to me it was Folgers. I was in disbelief... I asked her what they did differently. Then she explained it was made from a liquid concentrate through a machine like the one you have in your picture. I began to Google around for ways to have this at home, but came up short, aside from having to buy one of those machines... lol

    Thank you for sharing that they have this here though. I will be going right out of my way in July to head to Gustav's in the morning for some coffee!
