arrived smoothly from Richmond, Va on Wed. morning. currently the airport is only running 1 tram b/t terminals so u might run into a delay inside there.....checked into Enocre....amazing lobby...quick check in..room was ready when we arrived at 1230..stayed in tower suties...room was awesome!!..bedside remote controls of drapes, lights, privacy..etc....staff was very cordial throughout the whole facility...from there we went to Paris buffet for lunch...highlights were the crepe station and mini creme brulees...cheese and breads were also very good..not a bad deal for 17.99 lunch considering the crepe cafe theyre about 9 a piece. Wed evening we dined at B & B ristornate in Venetain...Awesome meal...grilled octopus, braised oxtail gnocchi, beef cheek/goose liver ravioli, duck and fennel dusted sweatbreads...fantastic..hung out at TAO in the lounge area for a few glasses of wine to finish the evening..
