    Yes, they are outdoor tables at Sinatra; I recall orange chairs around a few tables and I believe a fire pit. I have never dined outside at Sinatra before but am looking to dine there when I next dine at Sinatra in late September/early October.

    It's more casual but Jardin has a fair amount of outdoor seating.

    Thanks. Obviously, I stuck with mizumi tonight when they confirmed the outdoor seating for me. Tomorrow is tableau and SW, both outdoor tables

    One little tidbit on this front I wasn’t sure I should share. When I left to go shopping, I called housekeeping to clean my room. I also asked for additional bottles of hand sanitizer since I just about finished off the one in my room when I arrived. Housekeeping told me they only provide one bottle per room per trip!!!

    WTF Wynn??? Of all the places to save a buck, PPE is not it right now. I mean, it’s not a huge deal because there are dispensers throughout the resort and I packed extra. But still, I wanted plenty in the room.

    When I returned from shopping though, two fresh bottle were on the bar. So maybe someone figured out I was not pleased. I really hope refusing PPE requests is not policy

    Love that suite! And those wins!
    And I was thinking that I'm glad I was such a Wynn pen and pad hound. I have a few dozen of those elegant Wynn pale green pens. They actually write very well!

    Each time I signed a marker they said I could keep the pen. I tried to trade the pen for the paper. Didn’t work :goofy:

    The tulips is one of my favorite pieces of public art anywhere! So glad it’s back from China or Boston or wherever it went. But it was a lot better in its old location in front of the theater

    About to pay for dinner and then head back to the casino or Sportsbook. I assume both will be too busy for me to feel comfortable but who knows. Might just chill in the room tonight

    Wow. That initial response was really shocking for Wynn. Glad someone "saw the light" but yeah, I'm with you 100% on the initial response.

    Your Mizumi meal looked fantastic. How was the ambiance of the outdoor dining area? I'm trying to do as much outdoor dining as possible during my trip and was thinking about that space as well. From the inside of the restaurant looking out, it looks lovely but was wondering how it felt dining in the outdoor area.

    I liked it fine. To my surprise, it didn’t really feel hot even though it was 100 degrees on the weather forecast tonight. I think there are better seats than mine near the waterfall, but there is also a minimum spend I would not meet by myself. But I was perfectly happy in my little corner. Nobody near me so I felt very safe. And there is still a nice view of Palazzo, the waterfall, and the night sky

    After dinner, as expected, the book was packed. So I skipped that and walked through the casino. The casino was pretty busy. Actually, 3pm today was busier than last night. Seems people are still coming in for the weekend.

    In the high limit, baccarat and roulette were packed, but nobody was playing BJ. So I grabbed a seat and had a good half shoe. Went down at first, but a four chip double down and a blackjack got me up almost 2k and I quit ahead. I know everyone likes a big chip pic, so here you go:
    AE90B09A-286D-4680-BF9C-EF5F0D48CE45.jpeg

    Don’t get too excited. 100k of that is markers I still need to pay back. But better than still owing the markers and not having any chips. Down about 10k for the day, but up almost 4 for the trip. So it’s all good.

    I might walk outside and take some pics, but I don’t expect much excitement this evening

    Yes! That clippers win put me in the black on sports bets for the day, a 26% return! Not big money, but I always love sports profit. Might wager the games tomorrow and will definitely spend part of the morning finalizing my nfl bets for the season

    Sinatra is my wife and I’s favorite Vegas restaurant. I’ll give you an elbow bump if we’re there at the same time!

    I am in for the night. I moved up my tableau reservation tomorrow so I can eat there and still be at the pool when it opens. So hopefully pool pics and more tomorrow

    Congrats on being up so far, and for treating your SO to some nice sparkly shoes (I am not a woman, I looked :p) :thumbsup: I actually would try on the sneakers in the pic if they had anything in my size (15-16) :whistle:
