    Even El Cortez, I’d have a hard time completely burning.

    And actually, I can’t think of any casinos where I’d burn completely since I liked it enough to play to begin with.

    Baby was quiet during the flight.

    Woman next to me smelled like sour milk the whole way and it really nauseated me in an anti pheromone way. Wonder if some people are turned on by it, like cats.

    A couple days ago I saw a YouTube short where a woman was at the top of an escalator and accidentally dropped her suitcase. It tumbled down, picking up speed as it careened into a guy at the bottom who tried to outrun and get out of the way. The next shot was of him in a gurney being taken to an ambulance.

    On the moving sidewalk from the airport to the rideshare area, I was behind two girls. In front of them was a couple who was pushing a large piece of luggage with boxes piled on top.

    Suddenly I’m touching the girls as the sidewalk pushed me into them and they weren’t moving, because they’re getting backed up from the woman with the oversized luggage who was trapped with a stuck box at the end.

    From behind, people were pushing into me which pushed me further into the girls, and we were getting into a crowd crush situation.

    Luckily one girl leapt over a box that had fallen, leaving an opening, and I did the same.

    There’s a reason why escalators state no baggage, but same goes for moving sidewalks.

    Went to the right floor but in the wrong tower, checked the app, and it directed me to the Spa Tower, which is past Harvest on the way to the walkway. Don’t mind that at all, nice being close to Cosmo.

    Kinda know where I fit in the MGMverse when on the other side of the fountain view (and no Bellagio/Aria NYE invite).

    But a nice clean Salone Suite, with robo toilet.

    You got the newly remodelled Salome suite. I love how clean, fresh and white it is.

    Re-looked at the Virgin offer and for the freeplay, room, and Momentum Dollars, it says one time from now until March.

    Previous offer was all of those every month through December.

    So I think they rescinded the original offer. Which is understandable, but if you send an offer you should honor it (looking at you too, Circa).

    When your room says it has floor to ceiling windows with eastern and northern views of the Strip.

    I was supposed to be spending 2024 doing cruises instead of Vegas and saving a fuckton of money. And now my landlord is raising my rent $500 so I got punished by the gambling gods.

    Lesson learned.

    Bellagio WiFi is nice and strong, no dropouts during meetings.

    My laptop also instantly connected to the MGM network, from staying at Cosmo last week.

    I’ve been on bidets before but this was the first time I’ve actually used the streams, and I gotta say, I could just sit all day even if not needing wiping.

    Plus, having it be remote controlled sets up some fun prank situations.

    The Toto rocks. I sat and read my book and enjoyed the warm seat and reverse shower for a good 30 minutes last month at the Bellagio.

    I’m still on it now and wondering if I can bring my laptop into the bathroom and have a meeting during my butt shower.

    Those bidet/toilet seats are also in some Aria Tower Suites. Theyre nice. A word of advice, if you travel with hand sanitizer, wipe the remote.

    Don't be a twelve percenter
