Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Francisco 2.0 replied to bigup2dahorns's topic in Food and Travel
Home. Here's the trip report. We always go to Vegas this week in July, since it is our anniversary, and by coincidence, it's the same time as NBA summer league. Since most (if not all) the teams and NBA media folks stay at either Wynn or Encore, you can spot players and people in the NBA ecosystem. For instance, I passed within 3 feet of Chams at the Tower Suites bar, and he wears as much makeup in person as he does on TV. Also sat at a bar and watched Ime Udoka and some other staffer leering at chicks asses for a good 10 minutes as they passed by. Arrived Sunday morning around 8, checked in at Wynn (great thing about Wynn is you can check in early and if the room is ready, you can go right up. Other Vegas properties charge you a premium to check in early). Then we walked over to Peppermill for breakfast. I'll spoiler all the food pics so the post will load quicker. Also, as noted above, I unwillingly turned my camera into a potato. Sunday breakfast at Peppermill: Sunday dinner was at Sinatra. Love the place; they even give us the same booth each year. They put out a greeting card for us, which is a nice touch. Monday was a pool day. We get breakfast at the cabana: Monday evening was Joe's Stone Crab at Caesars. No pics, because this is when I realized what I had done to the phone. Tuesday morning at Tableau: Tuesday we visited Player1. For those of you who visited the arcade thread on Daily Texan over the past few weeks, you would enjoy this place. $9 cover charge and you can play everything (including consoles) unlimited. Pinball machines are excluded, but they take quarters. Beer menu is quite extensive. We went intending to spend an hour or so, and at the 4 hour mark, we had to leave. It's a few miles from Wynn, so you would need to taxi over. Highly recommended. Tuesday dinner at Mizumi Teppanyaki Wednesday was pool day again. Breakfast was chicken and waffles from Terrace Pointe. I've had it before...but this was a little disappointing. Wednesday night was La Cave. @Brisketexan Shin Lim was fantastic. The show didn't have a opening act; there is a mentalist (Colin Cloud) who serves as a "narrator" of sorts while intermittently performing his own acts. We sat on the front row, and Shim asked me to volunteer a number between 1 and 5. There was also a card trick the entire audience could participate in. His sleight of hand with other things instead of cards (cash, casino chips) was just head shaking. No photos were allowed during the performance. Thursday morning was Jardin. Pancakes and bacon for me, french toast for her, and a breakfast anniversary dessert. Thursday night was 6666 steakhouse. It's a pop-up Taylor Sheridan concept restaurant at Wynn; they convert Tableau (a breakfast/brunch place) each day into a steakhouse for the night. It's popular enough that they have extended this into semi-permanent status. Odds are they will close some other place in their complex and give it a permanent home. Friday morning was room service. Eggs and bacon for me, some kind of omelette for my bride. Our flight didn't leave until last night, so we had some time to kill. One of the things I had wanted to try was the lunch burger at Peter Lugar's. They only sell it between noon-4 pm, it only comes with an onion (although cheese and/or bacon can be added) and social media photos make it look like the greatest burger ever made. Short answer: might be the greatest burger I've ever eaten. Each patty is 8 oz, and is made up of the trimmings of their dry aged steak. Whatever american cheese they are using is outstanding, and even the damned bun is incredible. Ordered a medium, but wish I had ordered medium rare. I tried a bite with their sauce, and another with ketchup, and quite frankly, it detracted from the meat so much, I can't think of defacing this burger with any condiment. We had fries (which are fried in beef tallow) and an appetizer of their bacon. We will be back for this. -
Your in-laws are shitheels who are beyond redemption and would vote for Satan himself because there’s a rumor of a trans kid playing middle school volleyball in Oregon. Stop imagining things are any other way.

Yeah I’m sure those will even be protected. It will somehow be ruled applicable only to certain groups at the discretion of Abbott.

This leaderboard doesn't suck.

Wouldn't mind seeing Royal Portrush removed from the British Open rotation for awhile... not a fan of this course layout and lack of bunkers with only 3 par 5's.

How the hell did Terrell Owens heal well enough in 7 weeks post surgery for a leg break and torn ligaments and Alvarez, Spencer, Pena, and Zach are healing at the rate of 90 year old men? Seriously, we were told Spencer broke his thumb over 3 months ago, DeZenzo first went on the 10-day IL for hand inflammation the first of June and got transferred to the 60-day about a week ago, Pena has a small, non-displace rib fracture that is going on 3-weeks, Alvarez over 2-months with hand inflammation, and Melton has been down for over 5-weeks with a sprained ankle from turning and chasing a fly ball. WTF? I have read and heard stories about athletes leaving colleges to go pro and commenting there were more resources available to them in things such as nutrition and recovery at their former school, but is the Astros training room an ultra sound machine, a whirlpool, a couple of ice buckets, and assorted Cramer products?

I don’t know why anyone would watch that featured group versus the main feed. On the broadcast you see every one of their shots plus dozens of others. -

Damn. This getting really good. Nice shot from Rory. -
I'm sure SCOTUS will rule that, while the law is constitutional in suppressing theater, study groups, etc. it doesn't apply to sporting events.

Plus they end up showing all of Scottie and Fitz's shots anyways. the only thing you really miss out on is the extra couple of hours of explicit discussion of how much better Scottie is than the rest of the field.

Why would it frustrate Dems? He's a gateway type between the churchy true believers and the ballot box. So many centrist both-sider types(like my in-laws who probably are too chickenshit to confess to me that they voted for Trump) need someone like Talarico to show them they can vote Democrat without having a crisis of identity over it. I'm an atheist but I have no qualms with elected officials being religious as long as they keep their religion separate from the job of governing and don't use religion as a basis for attacking human rights or undermining the role of government in bettering our lives. Talarico's message is inclusionary and that is essential. I am fine with him playing that role while other leftist messengers bring the fiery heat against the fascist Republicans.

agreed. I wonder how advertisers look at stuff like that. maybe they pay more to be on the main feed and if you have scheff/fitz people are less likely to watch main feed.
