BJ, drinking, basketball Thanksgiving week

Dinner at Emerils last night….did the $100 3 course tasting menu. Had BBQ shrimp, glazed Chilean Sea bass and Banana Cream Pie….then a lot of drinking and BJ at NYNY, $50 3:2. Finished down around $500. Still up a little for the week…heading downtown again today …and maybe back to Tuscany.

Crowded around MGM , Park and NYNY last night with the Bball and hockey fans

Good day downtown….played $15 3:2 at El Cortez and finished up about $600… did ‘$10 3:2 for a short time at the D and left up $150…

Uber back to Linq, had a Guiness at Tilted Kilt but too many annoying cowboys fans at bar to stay…… and played VP in Linq, Cromwell and now at NYNY eating a Turkey and avocado burger at Broadway Burger bar in honor of Thanksgiving …decided to not do the big Thanksgiving dinner tonight that I planned at emerils …going to take a nap in a little bit back at Aria and get ready for last big night of drinking and gambling

Love all the BJ, Tuscany and downtown content
I may stay at Tuscany next trip…really enjoyed the time I spent in casino and Pub 365 this week. Been a few years since I last stayed, but the rooms were pretty good as well. A relaxing place right off the strip
 
One of my coworkers has stayed at Tuscany a few times when he was going to Dead & Co at the Sphere. He said he really liked it. Then in July I introduced him to Lawry’s across the street and he said ANOTHER good reason to stay at Tuscany.

Rich Little is still alive??
 

  • PC girls on the loose again, trip #6
  • Another Rock n Roll 10k

I was shocked by that too. Good for him!

87 and still going!
 
Another successful Tuscany trip this week..,played the $10 3:2 table again by myself….but the $5 3:2 table was open also with a few folks playing. Same dealer as earlier and reminder her she is my lucky one….and left up $600. Also finished up about $60 on .25 DW VP at bar…friendly service at Tuscany with all I met. Listening to band at Jason Aldeans again now….Bud Light and cheeseburger at strip prices again! Should have eaten at pub365 again . But slowly making my way back to Aria to pack up…and then give mgm a little more play for my stay!

Great TR and pics. We were pleasantly surprised by Tuscany. Had to head out to Vegas a day early a few years back due to a pending storm that had the potential to close the pass out of Southern California. Just needed something basic for one night. Room better than expected, good food options and nice grounds. My only complaint was that the TV was much too small for the room.
 

  • I’m off to see the Wizard and probably the Super Bowl

Yeah really surprised by them. When it seems so many casinos are removing table games they brought them back.

The hotel rooms seems nice think all the rooms are suites and good sized. They had for a while a promotion with no resort fees.
 
At the airport….didn’t have time to do my final count before heading to airport. But believe I finished up around $1200 Minus the $20 I just lost on $1 WOF at airport

Will do a final tally when I get home….

JetBlue plane is here , deboarding the inbound passengers currently…:should start boarding around 11:15 if all goes right…getting into FLL around 7:30am
 
Boarding started on time…glad I booked this Mint seat….should get a little bit of sleep, or at least be comfortable drinking and watching a movie.

Thank you very much for the insights into a part of Las Vegas that I was previously unaware of. This has definitely inspired me to visit the casino in the future.

Tuscany has laundry for guests as well, which can be huge for those taking extended trips
