    That’s too bad you weren’t thrilled with the Aria buffet, I was curious as to what you’d think. We were there last week and went to it twice. They just had a complete clearing house of all management. It was pretty slow the first time we went which was nice and about average crowd the second time. I enjoyed the addition of the pasta station and hubby was really happy to see the poke station. The biggest hit for him was spoons included with the silverware roll up! In the past you could never find a spoon. They serve gelato and NO spoons! I’m guessing the reason for the lack of dish labels is because the changes are all so new. Our waitress on Saturday said she’d just met her new manager that day so the changes are very new.

    Hope you all hit big on the slot pull!!!

    When we went to the buffet at Aria in January I noticed a lot of the items weren't labelled then either. We enjoyed the food and experience, but they have to start labelling their dishes!

    Thanks for the report and Good luck at the slot pull! Looking forward to hearing all about it.

    What a fun night!!!

    Many thanks to @Chuck2009x for organizing an amazing event! He treated everyone to a round of drinks, good conversation, and fun Fourth of July trinkets. Everyone appreciated it so much! Chuck is the Group Slot Pull Organizer King for sure! :nworthy:

    So instead of playing "Where's Waldo?", you can play "Who's The VMBer?". Take a look at @Chuck2009x's Meet and Greet thread to see a list of all of us.

    Thanks to V for squeezing us into the frame.

    There were 14 who contributed to the pull for a total of $2800. We hit the $1200 handpay and $750, and we all walked with $140. Not bad, since I fully expected to lose my $200 in full.

    You can't have a large group gathering without a little fun!

    I'm so proud to not be a complete loser! I'm also so tired and still have to make it back to Aria. LOL!

    What a fun way to end another great Vegas adventure! One of the best parts was how many random people walked up and asked what was going on, and I got to flash my green VMB band while explaining.

    Well, fun times are over, it's the night before we leave, and we still haven't bought gifts. Why does this always happen???

    Kids are pretty easy I guess, but I want to get my sister-in-law something nice for helping so much with them while we vacationed.

    Going to try and accomplish that now. Trying to talk V into walking/shopping back instead of Ubering. He's thrilled. LOL.

    Hooray! Nice turnout too. :) Glad everyone was able to come out a winner (sort of) and looks like you all had a wonderful time.

    I've loved following another one of your Trip Reports. Hurry back to Vegas so you can do another one for us. ;)

    LOL, we need toothpicks to prop open our eyes.

    Final walking stretch back to Aria. I love seeing the nightlife!

    I'm so glad you follow my reports. :D

    Thanks for reading! The slot pull was a blast!

    You know there was a sense of disorganization that would fit a change in management. We had to eventually flag someone down to get drinks, because nobody ever came by our table. They couldn't figure out whose section we were in. Kind of makes sense now with your insight on management.

    Totally agree with you on the food labeling!

    Thank you! The slot pull was great!

    Right! He was an awesome guy to hang with. I need to work on a recognizable Vegasworm outfit. Maybe a romper with gummy worms dangling from it. :ssst:

    That's awesome! What a suave guy that Chuck.

    Chuck's hat rocks! I went in to the pull expecting to come out with nothing, so I'm not complaining.

    @breanna61 thanks for all of your sweet comments throughout my report. :) I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

    Oh, I'll definitely be planning the next trip. LOL. Usually start dreaming on the drive home. Thanks for reading!

    Me too! With my pathetic hand pay track record, I figured I would jinx the evening. LOL. Great group of folks!
