Birthdays, Meet Ups, maybe Whiskey & Gambling Apr 24-30 Vdara & Elara

I have no words…

 

Definitely a Guinness day/night

 

I took the liberty of re-posting this in the funny memes thread in non-Vegas chat.

 

I like that what appears to be Irish Mayhe(m) is lit up in the background.
Enjoying your report and pics. VP needs to be a bit nicer.

 

hahahahahaha the door pic ..... epic!

thanks for sharing your trip report , feel like getting drunk just by looking at your pics
good luck

 

Last day. Really nice morning, might be a lounge around day...or not.



We're having a gourmet dinner with @bebe and Mamacita at Nacho Daddy later, no other plans and hanging in the room sounds pretty good right now. That might change after getting going and using the washlet, who knows.

Didn't post much yesterday as we mirco rolled pretty much all day, so we had fun and a few small bonuses commensurate with the bet level, but nothing pic worthy other than @MrsIrishDave 's $600+ hit on an 80c bet!!. A couple of hours of VP for me, then I did bar top blackjack. Not very exciting, and not great odds, but very low volatility to stretch the bankroll and still get drinks. Found a penny Mo Money at NYNY and had some fun on that for a little bit. @MrsIrishDave continued to low roll while I spent most of the later evening at NFI nursing Guinness and listening to the band, which is actually a dang nice way to spend a couple of hours. We were roughly even for the day, so while very few exciting pics, it was a pretty good day!

 

Every time I tell myself in Vegas that I’m just going to lounge around the room and take it easy, that lasts about 45 minutes max.

 

I’m not sure the pic truly shows it, but the Vegas themed art in the room is very cool

 

Irish Mayhem aptly describes the scene there.

 

Lunch at China Poblano. Tbh, everything was a little off. The queso was ok, but texture wasn’t quite right. The quesadilla took forever to come out and flavors weren’t vibrant at all. They comped us some sopas since the quesadilla took so long, but they’re just not our thing. Guess I’m just grumpy today!

 

Slotted around Aria for a bit, but just not feeling it, so hanging in the room relaxing

PS, it's really nice out today

 

Yesterday was pretty much a nothing burger, other than a great visit for dinner with friends. Going home today, but flight is delayed. Will catch up when we get home

 

This could definitely apply to me

 

Well since we have a couple hours, one last go

 

Ok, so I kinda dropped off the TR Monday afternoon or so. The Hilton Club room at Elara was awesome and I was a bit burned out, so hanging in the room while @MrsIrishDave slotted around a bit was exactly what I needed. She got a couple of nice hits at Aria while I zoned out.





It was the last night for us and for a couple of our friends from Canada, but we'd all had plenty of high falutin dinners so we ended as we started at Nacho Daddy and it was an excellent choice. Great margaritas, great food, and great friends.









Headed back to Aria to finish things up and, since I was rejuvenated, we played until about 2 am or so, bankroll be damned! We actually did ok, again @MrsIrishDave came through with some low rolling hits.













We had an afternoon flight home, so we slept in a bit and headed to Mon Ami Gabi for breakfast Didn't sit outside but close enough!





As we were finishing breakfast we got notified our flight was delayed 2 hrs, so we headed to Cosmo for a Guinness for the road and one last swing. Guinness was good, but fouled off most the pitches, about even for the session before heading to the airport. More detailed summary to follow, I'm still recovering!
