So it was worth it.  We did two choppers and threw extra girls on a party bus. It was 2 hrs each way.  Chopper worth it.  Here’s a pic of the party bus at 9am.

If you don't have a reservation for the Bacchanal buffet are you pretty much out of luck? We will be in Vegas on a Monday through Wed. It is closed Tue/Wed and no reservation available for Monday. We would should up around 8pm.

I would suggest calling them and ask that question. They used to have a fast pass system but I’m not sure they are still using it now that they have reservations.

Does anyone know when/if Le Cirque and Joel Robuchon are opening again?  Every time I’ve checked they have still been closed.  We are going through Vegas withdrawals, but we really want to go when at least one of them is open.  
Le Cirque in particular is our sentimental favorite for a variety of reasons, but from what I’ve seen its owner died last year and the New York location has been “moving to a new location” since well before the pandemic.  It would really suck if it doesn’t come back, and I’m getting concerned.

Sorry it took awhile, finally heard back from one of my contacts who said he’s hearing it should be soon, as in the next month (for both places).

Bazaar Meat is our least favorite José Andres restaurant.  The food is good, but not as good as e’ or Jaleo, and the beef isn’t any better than the other high end steakhouses.  The location is a definite downer.  We did the grand tasting menu, which made for a surreal experience in a poorly-lit dump ass hotel and then walking out through the most depressing casino on the strip. 

Yeah, I agree with the atmosphere part.  We went on a Monday during a February conference so outside of restaurants where conference was being held and surrounding properties (which we were trying to get away from) restaurants were pretty dead in any event so atmosphere wasn't a consideration.  Casino was definitely the saddest one I've ever been in.  We had a fantastic meal though.

After closing in March 2020 when the state shuttered nonessential businesses including restaurants and casinos to prevent the spread of COVID-19, two of the city’s most beloved French restaurants get ready to reopen. Joël Robuchon returns July 1 at the MGM Grand and the more casual workshop L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon reopens on July 15.

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon gives diners a front-row seat when they pull up a seat at the bar overlooking the kitchen to watch the artistry of the chefs. Robuchon’s more casual approach to dining offers tapas, a tasting menu, and wines from around the world. Patrons can even order Robuchon’s vision of a burger and snag a taste of his famous mashed potatoes.

Jonathan Doukhan, executive chef of L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, says his team spent the past year and change coming up with new dishes that transform “commonly used ingredients into dishes never-before-seen at a Robuchon restaurant or elsewhere. The menu is both recognizable and approachable for newcomers, as well as a stimulating challenge for gourmands.” The Le Saint Pierre features John Dory à la plancha on a “sambol” of tomato, confits lime zest, and cilantro puree; Le Grenouillle comes with caramelized frog legs on creamy spelt risotto; and La Framboise brings a white chocolate sphere with fresh raspberry and yuzu ice cream.

Diners may sit next to Chuck Norris, one of the celebrity pics that line the opulently decorated space at the grand Joël Robuchon that feels like a cross between the inside of a Faberge egg and the boudoir of Marie Antoinette. The exquisitely crafted fare from the Robuchon returns, including the 15-course degustation menu. It’s French grandiosity meets Asian refinement. Truffled langoustine ravioli in a foie gras sauce, a semi-soft boiled egg on a spinach puree, and Maine lobster in a thinly sliced turnip join roving cheese, bread, and mignardises carts. Do sit in the opulent lounge up front for a glass of Champagne.

Christophe de Lellis, executive chef of Joël Robuchon, says his team worked on a menu of beloved dishes for the return, such as Le Caviar Imperial with Osetra caviar served atop king crab in a crustacean gelée dotted with cauliflower puree; La Langoustine with truffled langoustine ravioli served with simmered cabbage and foie gras sauce; and La Rosa, a gelee of Dassai “39” sake topped with white chocolate rose and orange coulis.

Both restaurants were part of the Eater 38 when they were open.

Robuchon died in August 2018 at age 73 due to complications of cancer. Robuchon earned the title Chef of the Century from Gault Millau in 1987.

Big picture....Where are now to getting back to the unbridled and unencumbered debauchery we've all grown to know and love about the city?   Eliminations of phone booths at the craps tables, etc.
75% there, overall?  Better or worse?
Hanging up to listen.
 

Just about back to normal

Mini Vegas report.

 

Spoiler

Took a two week road trip to the Pacific NW, Yellowstone, etc.  Hit a bunch of parks on the trip (5300 miles driving).  On way home, kids wanted a full day at a pool, so we booked two days at New York New York, got a cabana, etc. 

We've taken the kids (10 and 8 ) to Vegas before, so the drill when we have taken them is to just stay on the property as much as possible, whatever property it is. 

Wife did the app check in so the room was ready before we pulled up to the valet.  Walk through the casino to the elevator bank, and I'm noticing things are a bit different from the last time (2016) wife and I stayed there, in terms of crowd.  Bare feet are noticed. Saw a handful of kids roaming about.  Hmmm.

We had made dinner reservations at the Steakhouse @ Circus Circus (have always wanted to try it, figured this was as good time as any)  that evening, so clean up a bit, change clothes and head to taxi stand. Uber I just wasn't going to mess with on this trip, due to the reports of long waits.  Plenty of taxis waiting, but there was around 10-15 people waiting at the Uber pickup.  It was probably 110 outside.  

Make small talk with taxi driver, I asked him if crowds were back.  He said yeah, but started to shake his head.  No good, he said.  Asked if I had been to Fremont in the past, and then compared it to Fremont street pickups, but all over the place.  

Dropped off at rear entrance to Circus Circus, and went inside.  My God.

At this point, it is no longer resort/hotel/casino.  It's a daycare with some slots and tables.  I shit you not.   Now, we've strolled through there in the past, but it's much....much worse now.  Large groups of kids roaming the place.  I saw toddlers wearing nothing but diapers just walking around.  We didn't go near the Adventuredome, for I figured if the casino side of the place was this bad, the dome area had to be really bad.  I smell pot.  

Steakhouse meal was fine.  How this place fits in with the rest of what Circus Circus has become is one of the great mysteries of the day.  Kids enjoyed it, food and service was excellent, bottle of wine my wife picked out was great.  2 hours later, we venture back into the place.  Now, I'm starting to notice other things.  For instance, I didn't see any security, pit bosses, etc. The only employees I noticed my entire time inside were blackjack dealers, one cashier in the cage and one person at the check in desk.  It was a fucking zoo.  There was a group of around 20 kids playing tag on the gaming floor, racing around slot machines.   Our kids want to make a pass through the midway section, so we do.  The performers have the same facial expressions as victims of human trafficking, as do the midway workers.  Just depressing as hell.

We venture out front door to get a taxi; there was no taxi stand any longer, but around 30-50 people waiting for some kind of ride share.  No doormen, nothing.  Some kid is doing a burnout in his Camaro in the drop-off area. Go back inside, venture to the rear check in entrance.  One employee was at the desk, no valet service, no bell desk employees, no taxi stand service at all.  Honestly, from a staffing perspective, it was no different from a Holiday Inn Express in Topeka.

I don't wish to sound elitist, but shit, at some point, you would think the gaming board would step in.   There is absolutely no reason to gamble or stay at Circus Circus if you are going to have unaccompanied minors just running wild throughout the facility.   This is what $20 dollar a night rooms will get you on the strip. 

Standing outside, I wave down an arriving taxi and we all pile in.  Driver and I make small talk; I ask him if Vegas is back.  He laughs and said only from a numbers perspective.  He used the term "ghetto" and said he would rather just hang out at the Fremont street area waiting for pickups, because that crowd is more civilized.  Claimed it was the worst he's seen in 20 years of driving a cab, so take that for what it's worth.

Get back to NYNY, call it a night.

Next day was spent at pool from opening to around 5 PM.  Cabana was fine, service was good, crowds were well behaved.  No outrageous behavior noted.

Go to dinner at Emeril's Fishhouse @ MGM that evening, so take walkway across strip.   First notice of grass smell outside. Crowds at MGM were more in line of what we have noticed there in past in terms of behavior, numbers, etc.  MGM has removed quite a few tables.  Meal was great.

On walk back, notice more grass smell.  

Check out next morning.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh. Define “the strip”.

It’s the part of Las Vegas Blvd that’s across from all the weed shops. I was walking north on the strip from the Cosmopolitan and passed several straight up weed shops, and many more little mom and pop T-shirt shops and what not that had stuff like this on the sidewalk in front of them:

I figured those right on the strip were some sort of scam. The legal places are a couple blocks off.

You think that they're doing this right on the fucking strip, and they aren't legal?   I would imagine that if they weren't legal, Metro PD would put them out of business. 


I'm a drunk, not a stoner, but I did venture into one of these places and looked at the joints, candies, etc.    IT LOOKED REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!!

At least as of 2019, dispensaries were legally required to be outside of the “gaming corridor.” There was an exception carved out for the industrial zone which is why Reef and P13 are within a mile of the Strip.

So options are:
1) the law changed since 2019 and no one has put a massive Disneyland-style dispensary on the strip yet
2) the places Gil saw are breaking the law
3) they are selling something that isn’t THC

We walked through there once in 1996. That was enough.

But supposedly the steakhouse is stll first rate.

Slots O’ Fun out front was pretty amusing with the craps table on the sidewalk and free popcorn at the bar.

I’m going with option 4. It’s combination of option 3 and GilBang having his head planted firmly up his own asshole.

Las Vegas, NV (June 21, 2021) – Today, Resorts World Las Vegas announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Grubhub, a leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, to become the first resort to offer Grubhub’s advanced ordering technology. Through On The Fly at Resorts World powered by Grubhub, guests can conveniently order and charge the cost to their room or credit card via the Grubhub app from the resort’s 40 food and beverage concepts and select retail shops for pickup or delivery to guest rooms as well as the resort’s 5.5-acre pool complex.

“Our partnership with GrubHub further expands our goal of providing guests with first-of-its-kind experiences at the resort,” said Scott Sibella, President of Resorts World Las Vegas. “Resorts World Las Vegas is proud to be the first resort to integrate this technology and offer our guests a convenient mobile-ordering solution for a variety of food, beverage and retail items across the property.”

This marks the first time Grubhub has partnered with a hotel and casino to provide its technology and will take the place of traditional in-room dining, redeveloping the way guests get to experience the culinary and retail attractions at Resorts World Las Vegas. Guests can order from the resort’s extensive food and beverage portfolio that offers a wide range of cuisines such as Famous Foods Street Eats, the property’s 16-stall culinary marketplace that features Michelin Plate and Bib Gourmand-recognized hawker stands from Southeast Asia and popular western concepts; Hollywood hot spot Craig’s Vegan, a scoop shop featuring creamy and decadent vegan frozen treats; an outpost of the popular L.A. wine bar and restaurant, Wally’s Wine & Spirits; and more.

“We’re excited to bring our integrated tech solution to Resort World Las Vegas and its guests,” said Brian Madigan, vice president of campus and corporate partners at Grubhub. “Our goal has always been to make ordering food as easy and convenient as possible for hungry diners, and this mobile ordering experience at Resorts World Las Vegas is our latest proof point of that — effectively enabling diners to order from their favorite resort eateries from the tips of their fingers.”

Guests can conveniently place orders on their phone with the Grubhub app or by scanning Grubhub QR codes located throughout the property, with the option to pay by room charge or credit card. For deliveries to the pool deck at Resorts World Las Vegas, guests will be able to pick up their order from a secure, QR code-activated restaurant locker, which features touchless opening.

Resorts World Las Vegas is the first ground-up resort development to be built on the Las Vegas Strip, opening June 24. For more information about Resorts World Las Vegas, visit www.rwlasvegas.com.

Mandalay Bay and its neighbor Delano show signs of restaurant re-awakenings with a number returning to the dining scene.

BBQ Mexicana, the counter-service restaurant from Two Hot Tamales Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, reopened full time with service every Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The restaurant offers a menu of barbacoa and smoked meats served in bowls, salads, and burritos filled with Mesquite smoked chicken, pulled pork, slow-smoked Texas-style brisket, and smoked tofu make the menu, as do aguas frescas, beers, and margaritas to go.

Aureole, the American restaurant from Charlie Palmer, reopens from July 10-14, July 22-26, and August 2-5 with its four-story climate-controlled wine tower. Try an Alaskan wild-caught halibut with baby leeks, clams, mussels, and saffron jus; diver sea scallops with English peas, pearl onion, and bacon; or bone-in rib-eye with peppercorn sauce, or just order a seafood platter for two.

Fleur reopens on July 26 with a classic bistro menu that includes duck confit, coq au vin, and filet Rossini. Chef Hubert Keller stepped away from the restaurant early this year.

Skyfall Lounge, the cocktail bar on the 63rd floor at the Delano, reopened with its view of the Las Vegas Strip on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to midnight.

Rivea, the French restaurant from Alain Duccase next door to Skyfall, reopens July 1. The restaurant with French and Italian influences specializes in shareable dishes such as marinated sea bass, focaccia di recco with stracchino cheese and olive oil, and crispy socca with chickpea crêpes. Try butternut squash and ricotta ravioli, potato gnocchi with sage and Parmesan cheese, or lobster risotto.

Della’s Kitchen reopens at the Delano on July 29 with breakfast and lunch.

Other popular restaurants such as Border Grill with its Mexican fare and stellar brunch, StripSteak from Michael Mina with its A5 Japanese wagyu and 100 single malts scotches, Kumi with its modern Japanese menu with a Korean American twist, the Italian Lupo by Wolfgang Puck, and Libertine Social from chef Shawn McClain already reopened with limited hours.

Resorts World isn’t done revealing all the food and beverage it has to offer. Carver Road Hospitality, the new hospitality company from nightlife impressario Sean Christie, plans to open Carversteak at the resort in December. The 14,500-square-foot restaurant stakes a claim as the city’s largest steakhouse and the resort’s only steak-focused restaurant.

Christie, who launched Carver Road Hospitality in April 2020, says Carversteak will be a new spin on the classic steakhouse with a restaurant that changes its mood and tone throughout the night.

The steakhouse specializes in thick dry-aged American cuts, global artisan beef producers, and Japanese-certified wagyu cuts. Teased dishes include a 12-hour slow-roasted prime rib and lobster thermidor en croûte, as well as caviar poppers, wagyu mini cheesesteak bites, and vegan dishes.

Carver Road Hospitality’s vice president of beverage and hospitality culture Francesco Lafranconi created the cocktails and wine list with a curated whisky collection that sits inside a tasting room. A terrace will showcase an “Avant-Garden” with classic and contemporary cocktails that use the on-site herb garden with its collection of mint varietals.

The main bar and lounge plan to feature the full menu, 24 bar seats, lounge seating, and a 30-foot LCD screen displaying art and sporting events.

Carver Road tapped design studio DesignAgency to create the mid-century modern look of the steakhouse that takes its inspiration from the Las Vegas landscape. Two private dining rooms — dubbed The Knife Shop and Scotch Room — a 70-foot honed quartzite stone bar, and 3,500-square-foot terrace complete with a bar, dining, and lounge gardens overlooking the Las Vegas Strip are just some of the design elements teased. The restaurant’s interior features rotating digital and traditional art pieces alongside a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system.

This is exactly the kind of high rent innovation at Resorts World that has @SydneyCarton trying to convince a group of us to stay there this fall instead of, what he termed, the Aria "shit hole".

I think the word "GrubHub" is fucking people up. It's not like their room service is some burnout bringing you In & Out. They are just using the same tech platform that GrubHub uses to allow you to order food from any of the 40+ eateries on site and have the food brought directly to wherever you are. I mean, that sounds pretty tits to me. When we did a daybed at the V pool in April, I would have loved having the option of having food brought to me from any of the V or Palazzo restaurants rather than being locked in to their poolside food option.

When we did a daybed at the V pool in April, I would have loved having the option of having food brought to me from any of the V or Palazzo restaurants rather than being locked in to their poolside food option.

Exactly. They are using Grubhub's app instead of an in house and likely lesser program. Same room service waiter is going to bring you the food.

Should have named it something else then
