"Everybody in the VMB, Put Your Mutha F'ing Hands Up and Follow Me!" (@Jer attempts to do none of the things!) 11/14-?

Glad you are mostly ok. I hate to say it, but I am not entirely surprised that happened. One of the first things I noticed when I went to the PR is for a place that is striving to be upscale, there are an awful lot of furnishings and fixtures that are on the cheaper end. They do a good job with lighting. Its not the kind of thing I would notice at night, but when I have been there with daylight still pouring through the windows, I have noticed. Stay well
So like Disney huh?

Yeah, I'm not surprised either. Not for your reasons since I think the furnishings are fine, but just for wear and tear situations. They were completely in shock though, and very attentive to me and my situation. And thank you for the well wishes!

Lighting does a good job of covering stuff up (and Disney is very good at that too)! I just remember being a little shocked to see some furnishings at PR that you can buy at an At Home store. And I'm not knocking At Home. I shop there, lol. It was just not what I was expecting from a place like PR
 

  • How many freaking shopping events can I go to???
Okay, where did we leave off...

Sunday was football day. Stayed in the room most of the day and watched games. At that point, I was completely feeling a sandwich of some sort and remembered I had a really good Uber Eats offer. Fired up the app and ordered two sandwiches and wondered how this would unfold. Received the notification it was ready and remembered a Jersey Mikes was right around the corner that it was coming from so that was awesome.

Went down to pick it up and stressed the Encore side for pick up (the app says Wynn and Encore). I open the door to go outside, and the staff out there ask if I need a taxi.

Me - "Nope, I'm here waiting for a food delivery."

Him - "Really? Wow..."

Me - "I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need a good sandwich."

Him - "(fist bumps) Word my friend, word..."

My driver guy was rated at 92% and everything went seamless. Pulled up in a Mercedes C class so at least he didn't look that out of place driving up. Walked past the staff and they were happy I got my order. I asked why and he said that drivers sometimes try to drop the orders off with them. That sounds fun and if they don't get picked up, free food for them! I offered them a piece of mine and they declined.

Last weekend was a pivotal fantasy football weekend. I have 3 teams, and I needed 3 wins. So, what better way to enjoy a football Sunday then at Encore with some awesome company. I really enjoyed that. My players did what they needed to do and had 2 out of the 3 wins locked up on Sunday (which in the fantasy world is awesome since you don't have Monday to absolutely fuck you...)

Dinner was at Sinatra. I have pics on my phone (I think) but that's charging. Veal, and sausage pasta with some mashed potatoes on the side. The mashed potatoes were a little on the thicker side, but still good. We ordered two drinks that were new to us, and for the life of me I can't remember what they were but glad they were ordered. You can't EVER go wrong with a sugar rim... Thank you @Mony, always love our meals together.

Gambled a little and the losing trend continued. Monday morning go home day. For the first time leaving Vegas in a long time, my flight was actually on time. Yes, I was shocked.

So, highlights:

Getting off a plane and getting settled then heading straight to the Heart concert was awesome. Those ladies still bring it. I was a little concerned when Ann was helped out and sat down for the show, but those concerns quickly went away when she got going. This band rocks, and I am so glad I got the chance to go. And for those keeping score, yet another concert better than David Lee Roth (What, do you all have school tomorrow???) The horror...

Poodle Room is amazing still after all the times I've been. We'll chalk up the broken chair as a one off and the company there was amazing (you all have outed yourselves in your TR's and I won't name names (except @Mony who was a gracious host as always...) but I had a tremendous time with you all! Speaking of that, my knee is better, there will be no further action (except a note to them thanking them for their handling of the situation) even though I've had people tell me to do so.

Gambling - Awful. I had one decent hit on Bubble Craps but damn that was brutal.

Food and drinks - Amazing

Company - Always a great time with those peeps!

That's a wrap folks. I was really hoping this TR would have some fun pics of wins and such, but nope. But I can safely say that my string of horrible TRs is intact, but my title plays... Thank you to the 7-8 people who endured this!

I really enjoyed the cover songs they did too! There were a few that surprised me! And, of course, the Led Zeppelin covers were outstanding. The story Nancy told about playing with Eddie Van Halen! OMG

True legends and a great show. The Wilson sisters are beautiful BTW.

Also, I can't believe you didn't mention riding in the Rolls Royce @Jer?
I guess you are just used to it? Oh well.
Do you have any Grey Poupon?

Yes, the Rolls happened, but only because I was a hitchhiker and they thought you were solo. BTW, I can’t remember what his name is, but that driver is always pretty awesome.

And yes, I have Grey Poupon!

That driver was great!
Kevin, maybe?
 

This dude is horrible. Went the wrong way twice now. He is also trying to hold a very limited conversation with me and someone else on the phone at the same time.
FYI: Ride share drivers are NOT allowed to talk to others on the phone while driving.

If you complain about him, he will most likely get banned after the second complaint.
 
Update for those of you who were in it for the Poodle Room snafu. I reached out to them thanking them for the way it was handled, and they responded (after advisory and with careful wording of course) saying I can still fill out an accident report and they'd love to have me back for a makeup visit. Party at the Poodle Room???? :)

Currently planning the next trip where I will be doing all the things and not doing a TR. Oh, the irony, but his is the walrus way!
