  2. Months late with a reply but just in case others search this thread in the future . . . The answer is Ellis Island. Tuscany was a nice option but supposedly will be doing away with their tables in the future.
  3. Good stuff. Trying to keep up with the podcasts when I get time.
  4. Texas will play Stanford in a neutral site game this December at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, multiple sources told College Hoops Today. Official tip off times have yet to be determined https://collegehoopstoday.com/index.php/rothstein-files/texas-to-play-stanford-at-t-mobile-arena-in-las-vegas/
  5. Should have been more normal as the average room rates were much higher than they have been recently for the big fight/concert weekend. Hopefully the trend continues in this direction for the crowds.
  6. LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- A Las Vegas area strip club will now accept cryptocurrency. Crazy Horse 3 said it is the first major entertainment venue in Las Vegas to accept bitcoin payments using the Lightning Network. The new bitcoin payment processor would allow guests to purchase VIP bottle packages via the Crazy Horse 3 website. “Crazy Horse 3 is committed to innovating the modern-day guest experience and as leaders of the Las Vegas entertainment industry, we are embracing the opportunity to accept Bitcoin as a way to deliver convenience, first-class hospitality and an added level of anonymity for our guests,” said Crazy Horse 3 publicist Lindsay Feldman. In the near future, the club plans to be able to accept cryptocurrency for food and beverage, retail, admission and of course, "dance dollars" for lap dances and entertainer tipping. https://www.fox5vegas.com/news/local/las-vegas-strip-club-now-accepting-bitcoin/article_553cc052-e3e4-11eb-97aa-d74a7bd5045b.html
  7. My bad. That was the exact excuse AA gave out at the gate. Didn’t think it got hot enough yesterday for that to be the reason, but sounds like it might have been. I thought the temp needed to be around 119.
  8. Today’s update: so many freaking private jets are flying in for the Garth Brooks concert and the UFC fight weekend, that the damn ATC implemented holds and spacing into LAS and caused a one hour delay of my flight out today because my incoming plane was stuck on the ground in Phoenix. Vegas is almost back?
  9. Heard 4th of July weekend was totally jammed and this weekend should be super busy with the McGregor UFC fight on Saturday night. Saw a billboard for his after party at the Wynn.
  10. And on the mask update, the first time I wore one was just now upon return inside LAS airport. Some decent percentage of folks do walk around inside and outside with them on, but wasn’t a requirement anywhere we went for fully vaccinated people. Fun side fact, if you look at a Venetian employee name tag, employees who have been vaccinated have a V next to their names.
  11. Wrapping up my first trip since Sept 2019. From everything we already know, I’d say things are definitely improving but not quite back to where we want it with regards to the typical Vegas clientele. Stayed at Palazzo with Prestige lounge access so didn’t have any check-in type issues. Made dinner reservations well in advance so no issues there on staffing. Witnessed one moron berating and threatening a lowly Dunkin employee at the Linq because his grilled cheese took too long to make. Security was called and he was escorted off the property. More zombies along the Strip sidewalks then I remembered in the past, but they are generally harmless. Witnessed some dumb fight over a chair at the pool. Again security was called and one guy told to leave. Resorts World is a fun place to check out. Grabbed some Dim Sum in the food court. Interesting order process with electronic boards all over to order and pay for any of the food court spots, then you get a text when your order is ready for pickup. Hit up the secret bar in that area, recommend it for folks who like the craft cocktails and some old school hip hop. They have a nice huge bar area with live bands which looks to be really fun. Poker room is nice. Sports book is small. Will try to stay here in the future to get a better feel for pools and night club. Amalfi, the new Bobby Flay place at Caesars, was fantastic. Bobby was in the kitchen area working away. Decent list of fresh fish flown in to choose from along with multiple toppings and can go whole fish or filet. Nice pasta course choices, desserts, cocktails etc and bar area has a good vibe to it. Can do many dishes off of each part of the menu and share. We get a lot of questions on this thread about business dinner options, and the manager told me they have a great space for that which goes up to something like 40-45 people. Add this one to your list of places to try.
  12. Caesars revamping main entry
  13. Waiting for the EJ frap emoji on this Banks deal. Wait, I’m way behind on this thread and cycle. Is that goofball still covering Michigan?
  14. I did the Heim in FW once and must have caught them on an off day. Very average. So didn’t bother to try the Dallas location. Hit up Hurtado recently and really liked it. Would go back again.
  15. New Bobby Flay joint in Caesars (lots of pics in link below): Celebrity chef Bobby Flay opened his new Italian seafood restaurant at Caesars Palace in May, inspired by his trips to the Amalfi Coast. The restaurant, Amalfi by Bobby Flay, took over his 16-year-old Mesa Grill, spanning 9,000 square feet right off the casino floor. The menu spans whole fresh fish and pastas to lighter antipasti. A fishmonger showcases his catches of the day in a dramatic seafood display near the open kitchen. The fishmonger, who is available to answer any questions, can share where the fish is from, when it arrived in Las Vegas, and other detailed requests. Diners can typically find golden snapper, red snapper, black bass, branzino, and Carabinero shrimp, which can be grilled over charcoal or roasted al forno and served with the choices of Meyer lemon and capers, red pepper and Calabrian chile pesto, or salsa verde. Flay tapped Olivia Jane Design & Interiors to create the look of Amalfi with a natural palette and touches of greenery throughout. Organic fabrics, stone, and wood materials decorate the four spaces inside. A 30-seat bar and 40-seat lounge area practically glow with a limestone mosaic floor and teak wood beams. Flay says he loves the golden glow in the bar and lounge. “Don’t miss the Amalfi Coast-inspired blue and white chairs in the lounge, which are a nod to the swarms of striped umbrellas and chairs sprawled across the beaches there,” he says. The grille/main dining room features limestone walls and antique brass with views of the kitchen. Wines from various regions throughout the Amalfi Coast also find a home here. The restaurant also features a private dining room. Flay recommends ordering the charred octopus with burnt orange and pancetta as an appetizer, followed by squid ink fettuccine with lobster, shrimp, and fra diavolo sauce. https://vegas.eater.com/2021/6/29/22555598/bobby-flay-amalfi-seafood-restaurant-caesars-palace-eater-inside
  16. Yep. Just need the conference and convention folks back in full force and room rates up higher and hopefully that will fix the glitch. -The Bobs from Office Space
