Royal Hunting - 4/27 - 5/11 - Vegas and Laughlin

Then had a fabulous dinner at Bugsy and Myers with @annbrown57 and a new friend.

I got diver scallops and Brussels sprouts. Nom.

Ann and friend split the surf and turf and mashed potatoes. We all shared sides, of course.


And Ann took a banana cake to go - it looks pretty fabulous to me.

 

After dinner, I had a nice VP session with excellent drinks at Bellagio. And then slotted/VPed my way back down to NYNY. Finished the day down $30 (and $60 FP) on VP and up $40 on slots.

 

Thank you and it’s always great to see you and friend @gs32794 said he was glad to meet you and thank you!

That banana cake was really good! Till next time

 

Got the breakfast croissant and coffee at Greenberg’s Deli this morning. Great deal for $8.95.


Headed out to Henderson. We were planning on going out to dinner, but with the VGK game starting at 4:30, we settled on getting Thai food delivered and watching the game. Probably another very light gambling day for me.

 

Guys, there’s another food court at NYNY? I’ve probably been in this casino 100 times and I’ve never found it before!

 

I had the same experience 2 weeks ago! Who knew? Secret food court.

 

Lol, I don’t know if you did this intentionally or not, but I think that’s the scene from “I Love You, Man” where they take mushrooms and go to the Beatles’ Love at the Mirage.

 

You obviously knew that you can use your daily 7* drinks there, right?

 

Had a great evening with family. Stopped at Target to reload some room supplies. Then played VP at Park MGM while watching hockey. Did not go as well as yesterday - lost $1,000 with only two quads. Que sera, sera.



Tomorrow’s plans - work, back to Henderson for more family time, some more slotting around and VP at MGM. I’m really enjoying having four nights in one place before having to move again.

 

One $0.25 Royal tomorrow will even everything up from tonight.

 

That's a luxury that we won't have this trip!

Hope to see you for a bit tonight after dinner!

 

Which bar were you playing 7/5 BP at? Is there a light system/were you playing at a casual pace?

 

I did Bellagio > NYNY VP last week! Any favorite spots along the way? I'm already looking to go back so I'm taking notes

 

I hit a couple of different places to play a little for drinks while watching hockey. My favorite drink was at baccarat bar, but overall favorite was the round bar at Park MGM for decent drinks and hockey watching. I also liked the high limit bar at NYNY for a quieter environment.

 

All these places have 7/5 BP/something similar (not great, not awful) at $1, right?

 

Park MGM is one of the best MGM Resorts in Las Vegas to watch sports and either sports better or play video poker at either the West Bar or the BetMGM sports book restaurant (old Moneyline restaurant).

 

Saw a sign advertising a special two course menu at La Pizza e La Pasta, so I tried another new to me spot for lunch today.



I ordered the zucchini fritters which turned out to be fried Zuchinni. Pretty good - light breading was very crispy and the right amount of finishing salt.


Pea and Prosciutto Raviloi - This was excellent. Delicate flavors and perfectly al dente pasta. And a very generous serving.

 

Looks lovely.

 

Done the two-course there a few times, pretty good! They used to have it every day for lunch, but now I think it's seasonal

 

Well shoot, I wanted to try the Park MGM bar but I didn't space my beer out enough around then and had to scoot.

I only went to the middle bar at NYNY, I don't even know where the high limit bar was! Ha
