Trips to Las Vegas

Hi everyone, and good morning! :)

It's 5.45 am @ Frankfurt Airport, Germany...let the journey begin :) . First it's a short hop to Zurich, Switzerland, from there across the pond with Edelweiss Air. Scheduled to land @LAS 12.50 pm, so enough day should remain to completely mess with my sleep schedule ;)

My itenary:

Tonight: Vdara
Tuesday-Friday: Cromwell
Friday-Monday : Excalibur
Monday-Tuesday: CP

What's the gameplan?
Gambling. 😀 Gin Tonic 😀. Trying different drinks except Gin Tonic 😀. Going to Tao Beach Saturday. Trying Table Share Experience @ Hakkasan.
Oh, I also booked a Kayak trip to Black Canyon/Emerald cave...def looks like fun.

I'll post pics and try to do a bit of a live-report, so feel free to tag along 😀
 
....the ancient mechanical screens @ Frankfurt Airport are among my favourite nostalgia :) 20250414_033540.webp
 
Now at Zurich Airport...8 am, time for a drink...we're going to Vegas, it's currently 11pm there. ;)

Furthermore, in Germany it's called "Frühschoppen", and it is a significant cultural heritage 😀 20250414_080827.webp 20250414_081605.webp
 
Alriiiighty.....awake for....36 hours, give or Tage a few short naps in between..
.felt the urge for physical exercise after an 11 hour flight, so I walked from the airport to Vdara....got a Parlor Suite Fountain View - life is goood! :) Next stop: Aria Pool .
 
Wow! Three hours of Vegas and sleep, you’ll be completely refreshed and adjusted to the local time zone.
 
Goooood morning, Vegas!

So, after a Poshburger Dinner (absolutely not impressed!), taking a 4 hour Power nap was a stratecigal nistake....up since 1 am. Good absolutely trashed at Cosmo Bubble Craps...tried to sleep afterwards, Mission Impossible. So got up again, and wo the money back @ ParkMGM Craps ....oh, looks like they have 80s night in the graveyard shift. I loved it :) 20250415_043557.webp
 
Ooooof....still not adjusted to a normal sleep schedule.

Spend last day walking and slotting around, playing a little here and there. Then Swim-up BJ @ Caesars ....yeah, the rules suck, but the game is fun. 15 Dollar Min doesn't hurt too much. 20250415_134009.webp 20250415_130538.webp 20250415_133630.webp
 
Checked in @ Cromwell around 3.30, and was tired as hell....no surprise if your day begins around Midnight. Got up, and had the worst gambling day of my life so far....burned through all the Dollars remaining from my last Trip in October ;)

Caesars sportsbook at 3am is a blast for people watching when Omnia is open...just a quick question: if you are being escorted out by 4 bouncers plus LVPD officers....why do you think it's a wise decision to scream around and threaten everyone??
 
Oh, btw.....was pretty underwhelmed by Wicked Spoon.
Used RC, so all is fine, but IMHO no dishes really stood out...what do you think?
 
:beer: for Frühschoppen!

Dumb question, stayed at Caesars a million times but never did the Swim up Blackjack, how do you get the buy-in there? In our Eurodonk speedos?
 

  • Tower suites que?
Got a standard room @ Cromwell. Last time, Caesars comped me a Strip view room, but the windows are REALLY small..

I do like the Cromwell for what it IS, but it's not really a luxury resort.

My view yet is trash. Literally ;) 20250416_134957.webp
 
Well....that was a rather short evening. Met a guy from my German Vegas Board at Ellis....played some BJ and Craps...went out +20...felt good after the beating I took earlier. Oh, the BBQ is still nice!

After an at least half-decent sleep, I hit the table @ Cromwell. In for 300, out for 970.
.my biggest table win so far :)

I’ve said it a few times on here, but Lola’s in the Proper Eats food hall upstairs has a much better burger at a lower cost, Posh is overrated and overpriced.
