    Have a great birthday trip. You might need that carry-on to take home your winnings.

I swam in the larger pool (North pool?) and the warm saltwater was lovely. A bit busy but spacious enough that I actually got a swim in, across the whole length of the pool. Fun vibe and music. Every day is gonna have some pool time!

    Time for gelato! It’s never too early or late for gelato.

    Does it mean one goes to Vegas too often if the titos from the last trip are still good? I had four; took care of Park and Excalibur today. Aria and Bellagio probably tomorrow.

    lots of losing at various slots but got the biggest single spin win on this odd old storm slot. Much lost on VP also. Still within budget for the day but losing isn’t fun!

    Dinner at Bavette’s, then I think I’ll try the Italian bar for an Aperol spritz.

    Interesting-it was a dollar higher than the huge sign by the taxi stand.

    Bavette’s was amazing delicious, as it was last time. I had the spring greens and apple salad, the Duchess cut filet cooked medium rare, and a Green Flas brewing West Coast IPA. All was perfect! Service was, well, perfect too. I took my time, and my main came out just as I was expecting it. Great timing.
    After Bavette’s, I tried to use the solo bubble craps machine but I could not figure it out despite reading all 14 pages of rules. So I went to the other type of machine, where it’s shared and had an HUGE roll! 7, 7, 7, point after point, 11, then, finally lost. Got a fist bump! Made over half my buy in, making up for some earlier losses.

    Funny thing….last great craps roll I had? Also right 4CA818AA-6D95-44EA-A710-22BC6B244253.jpeg E3A50614-68A2-4806-83EF-F355CD3D12EB.jpeg 64828A76-B5A3-46D0-903D-18642027A0D5.jpeg 8BCAA541-D5F4-4F62-B5D5-E57771E8DD36.jpeg A3ED42FF-044F-45C4-9C5F-82D0E9370EE6.jpeg DD56DCB0-FE49-45BE-8194-F6B98365080B.jpeg after dinner at Bavette’s!!

    gelato for dessert…

    Limoncello Spritz for a night cap!

    Tomorrow I have a lunch reservation at Milos in the Venetian. Planning to have an early breakfast here at Eataly then check for real craps at my level ($10). Uber/Lyft up to Circus Circus (I’ve never seen it in a dozen visits!) and then Resorts World and make my way to Milos by 12:30 for lunch.

After my usual Eataly coffee and pastry breakfast, I was reminded that my college kid was doing her first college radio show this morning! Had to rush back to the room for earbuds and attempt to tune in.

    all BJ $15; crapless craps only and at $15, at Park.

    I ended up grabbing a seat outside in the Aria courtyard, to listen to the radio show.

    More gambling to come! And lunch at Milos!

    Slotting along the walk to Resorts World….
    Cosmo-first spin on Game of Thrones got a Dracarys, cash out.

    Caesars-played 100 play bonus poker at the 1 cent level. Three hands, up, cash out.

    Found old fave Dolly Parton. Two spins in, expanding wilds, cash up.
    I am up for the day! 05832C8B-FB53-411E-AEB5-A4FFC69657F5.jpeg 629927E5-54DC-49D8-8EFA-B2AFCA6F81B3.jpeg

    29202F56-8A00-43F3-BED7-462A38D9B322.jpeg ….and now I’m down thanks to slots. Maybe I’m not playing them right? Is there a strategy, like you have to be willing to take losses to get a chance at a win?

    anyway, this cute machine and a couple others set me back, at Mirage (which has a good multi-hand VP alcove).

I just had an amazing lunch!

    Also, won a little on this ridiculous slot!
