Low-Roller
Traveled to our favorite city for 7 nights, with a combined fun + tech conference (AWS Re:invent) agenda.
My hotel schedule ended up on Caesar's for 2 nights, Palazzo for 4, and Cosmo for 1. I had originally planned for Encore-Palazzo-Cosmo, but got Caesar's Palace Tower for 'free', so figured I'd save $300 vs. staying @ Encore.
Don't have the energy this afternoon to write full paragraphs, so thought I'd do some highlights.
Caesar's Palace Tower == Good, because of room quality, location, and 'free'. Points deducted for smoky casino
Smashed Pig for dinner == Awesome, because of beer selection, meet+cheese platter, and charming bar tender
Golden Gate bartop VP == Good, because of music, not horrible Bonus Deluxe paytable, and drink service
Caesar's sports book reserved seat == Good, because $100 + 3 free drinks is not a horrible price to pay for a relaxing NFL Sunday
Seersucker happy hour == Excellent, because of duck fat fries + prosciutto dust
Palazzo "normal" suite == Awesome, because room quality, sectional sofa, and location
Yardbird == Awesome, because excellent service, biscuits, fried chicken, and peach cobbler
Bouchon Bakery == Excellent, because of coffee and pastries
Julian Serrano == Excellent, because of food and service quality
Border Grill (Forum Shops) == Awesome, because of Tiger Shrimp tacos
Tom's Urban == Excellent, because of beer selection and food choices
Golden Gate Blackjack tables == Awesome, because of 3/2, music, dealers, and introducing co-workers to Fremont Street. Don't know why I play table games anywhere else, actually
Cosmopolitan == Awesome, because of free upgrade to fountain view, room quality, and location
Wicked Spoon == Tasty, especially when you can't decide what to eat. Desserts were meh.
Cosmo Sports Book bartop VP == Fun, especially when the free drink tickets keep spitting out
55 days to go until my next trip. Can't wait!
