    What did you think of the Mollydooker? It's a fabulous Shiraz. It's one of 3 or 4 that go up in price.

    It was very good. Not sure cost in store but it’s only $40 at Hugo’s and was a very good selection at that price point.

    Yeah, well it's over $30 in the liquor store in BC .... aagh! The next one up is "Blue Eyed Boy" if you get a chance. $40 at a restaurant is unbelievable!

    Work is done for the week. Woo hoo. And I snuck in two naps today (much needed) and got to go swimming with the kiddos. Great day. Snuck out to downtown Henderson to hit up Emerald Island wheel promotion. DDB did not love me today. Down $220 on $1,500 coin in plus down $80 on slots. Won $15 on wheel spin plus got a free ice cream sandwich and a pack of socks for gift day. So it wasn’t a total loss.

    The Pass is pretty empty, but has a live musician which is nice.

    I have to pick my sister up from airport in a couple hours (plane delayed - surprise). So going to hit up a couple more new (to me) Vegas bars.

    So glad the new owners have kept this neon. I love it so much.

    Hardway 8 in downtown Henderson. They have a sign up bonus - play $20, get $10. Turned that into $19 profit and a Lovelady Sour. #Winning

    Gold mine in Downtown Henderson. New player promo - play $20, get $10. Lost $5. But got a pink drink. And found a new to me dive bar.

    And then I spent some time at Skyline where I won $20 on slots and $20 on VP before it was time to go pick sister up. Tomorrow’s plans - downtown whenever I get up and moving for the QQQQ promo, lunch with aunt somewhere downtown, girls night dinner out at Sparrow and Wolf.

    I've been hearing of late that Water St in Henderson is experiencing a bit of an ongoing renaissance, my (admittedly often faulty) memory from a pervious visit was that it was dumpy and there wasn't much to do. True?

    Always loved the place. Did you happen to notice hours for the diner? They have a great breakfast for cheap. Two or three years ago, they backed up opening from 6 until 11, pretty much negating breakfast.

    I always thought that area was adorable. They definitely made changes, including expanding the sidewalk and made the street a one lane street. I didn't notice this at all but when trying to find the bus stop that I could swear was RIGHT THERE?!? I waved down a passing bus and the driver told me the stop is gone because it is only one lane now.

    I’ve only been visiting for the last couple years, but it’s always seemed nice to me. They have the three casinos. Plus a couple of breweries and bars/restaurants. It definitely seems to be on the upswing with more and more renovations and new openings.

    A new burger focused restaurant opened in the old cafe space. Pretty sure it’s lunch and dinner only but I haven’t checked hours lately.

    Up and moving. Long play day today at Four Queens. But first a pit stop at Pkwy Tavern. Sign up bonus - play $20, get $25. Plus weekdays between 7AM and 10AM - play $20, get $10. They also have gamblers breakfast specials, but I just wanted a caffeine infusion. Played the promos and leaving up $43.75. Score. Next stop downtown.

    Four Queens - Started out by turning $400 FP into $350. Super busy here. Hard to get on a 6/9 machine.

    Too bad. The old cafe was great. I'd go there with local friends for breakfast. Bacon and eggs, $5-6. Omlets were only $7-8, it was like going back in time! Portions and food were great. Oh well, another one bites the dust.

    Just caught up! Loving all the locals casinos & dive bars. You make me want to venture out more when I'm in Vegas, but I need someone to be my DD! :drunk: Pink drinks all around!

    This reminds me of last year when we went to Vegas in June for A's birthday, and immediately scheduled a September trip for my birthday when we got home. We went last-minute in July because I needed to get my nails done, and then A's parents asked us to meet them there in August for his Dad's birthday & family time. No such thing as too much Vegas! Have a kick-ass summer! :headbang:
