This was wonderful. I don’t have the words. We had the octopus and a whole Branzino prepared with myer lemon and capers. We had charred asparagus and then coffee and desert. By far the best octopus I’ve ever had and the best fish too. The pasta was to die for. Unbelievable. With 2 glasses of wine the meal was about 300$ Before the tip.

    After dinner we were stuffed. Full and a little uncomfortable but not terrible. We had tickets to see RuPauls drag race @9:30 so headed over to flamingo. We really enjoyed the show! Thought the showroom always pretty great. We had a booth in the middle and the view was great. I’d recommend this show.

    A few night shots from the evening.

    then I had a positive VP session at MB. Which included my first ever straight flush. Headed to bed at 1:30am or so!

    also I tripped the meter for Gold at Mlife yesterday. That doesn’t seem to getme much exciting, but maybe it is of note?

    The bellagio conservatory was really pretty last night. They had special night lighting and a dramatic music playing. It was not crowded and it was just really pleasant to see.

    We took a taxi back from the Bellagio last night. We had no line, no wait. And the total was 9.40. An Uber (just a regular Uber not even Uber XL) was going to be 11$ and a wait. I think taxis may be the way to go.

    Do the taxis take credit card, or cash only?

    Both. Although they add a surcharge for credit so we’ve been paying cash.

    Thanks for the info. I love the TV show & was wondering how the Vegas show was. Hopefully they'll have shows in December!

    OK, back in the real world but I do want to finish up the report.
    Friday was check out day. We started by heading to the Venetian for Breakfast at Bouchon.
    We all ordered Americanos and split a chocolate croissant. Then we did the house special which was a sausage hash with poached eggs. I have had better meals, I wasn't a big fan of the sausage. Love Bouchon as usual and the service was good. We headed back to MB to pack up and park the bags with the Bell desk. Going to post photos in the next post bc I am typing from the computer and the pics are on the phone!

    We decided to head over to Resorts World. I was pretty impressed with the open feeling and brightness of this place. It was nice. I could stay here and be very happy. The chairs in front of the new shiny video poker machines were really comfortable. I could play here for hours without feeling uncomfortable! I gambled a bit and put a few points on the card. Got a nice 4OAK. We wandered through the mall area and checked out the food court. Come hungry because you will want to eat here. We tried to go to "Here Kitty Vice Den", the hidden speakeasy, but it didn't open until 4:30. We had 5pm dinner reservations, so that wasn't going to work. We ended up going to see the Wynn and have a snack at Parasol Down.

    Headed back to MB via cab. We were able to gamble 20 minutes and have a beer before our dinner reservations at Lupo.

    We wrapped up the trip by having a bottle of Puck’s house red and focaccia. We split the meatballs and spaghetti and a piece of cheesecake. Then we gambled a little bit more and went to get the bags and meet the limo.

    Flight was on time and we scored an upgrade to first class seats!!

    we landed at about 5:30 am and came home and crashed till noon. Great trip. Can’t wait to go back! I left with about 2100$ and I came home with 2060$. Probably my best trip ever from a gambling perspective.
