    In addition to making your own jello shots. I highly recommend bringing/buying Epsom bath salts if you have an opportunity to relax in a huge jetted tub like the one at Aria. This will come in handy over the weekend after tons of walking/clubs.

    And I've been told my jello shots are strong lol

    Thanks to @MCann and @Chuck2009x I was able to find the Walgreens via crystals straight away. As suggested, I bought disposable bags with me to help carry bottles of mixers and water.

    @Jsmile898 what did you bring / what did you buy for these jello shots.
    I'm thinking you brought everything but the vodka?

    im amazed I haven't thought of doing this but also... I haven't had a jello shot in years and now that makes me sad

    I think you can find a $5 table at Ellis Island (if its early enough in the evening) and $5 table at The Grand close to Fremont (during the day) so then you can play pass line with odds

    I bring:
    - Foldable kettle (can be bought on Amazon for like $30 and doubles as kettle for coffee or instant ramen)
    - jello packs. Can always be purchased at Walgreens or cvs
    -Vodka of choice
    -alumninum loaf pan x3 from the dollar store (easy to pack and used as mixing container) and also holds your shots inside the fridge (provides stability). The loaf pans with a lid are the best
    - Metal spoons from dollar store for mixing
    - Plastic Shot Glasses to pour jello into from dollar store. I have switched to 8oz plastic cups. Easier to store in the fridge. So jello cups rather than jello shots.
    - plastic spoons. Free from take out packaging to scoop out jello and eat at your pleasure.

    The hardest part is a fridge. As a diamond member at CET, fridges are free and I have a fridge at aria suites.

    Everything gets thrown away at the end of the trip except for the foldable kettle.

    Dinner was at Catch tonight. Host gave me f/b credit so I'm going to do a round of aria restaurants. These pics are from my order. The best was the Japanese donuts. They couldn't do a full order so they gave me a partial order on the house

    I think, for a new player, bubble craps at $3-5 is a great place to start. You see a ton of rolls so you can understand what the bets mean faster, and they show the win/lose conditions on the screen

    Great trip report! I think you've kicked it up a notch with the room made jello shots.

    I have a deep respect for your jell-o shots endeavor. I might have to try this some time, but I'd most likely be slightly less ambitious and do it at VDara where there's a kitchen.:thumbsup:

    From my suite in aria, I can see Cosmo terrace rooms. I don't like heights. I don't think I could ever stand out there. You guys are brave. MAYBE I would just open the door.

    I managed to make one with two colours because the fridge at aria is super cold.

    You can do it @MCann! You only need a bathroom sink. These cups are great to go with a plastic spoon. Just find a garbage can later.
