  1. On the nickel and dime front, we have small progress as the MGM CEO says on their call tonight that they realized Excalibur was having pricing issues when the room rate is $29 but they charge $12 for coffee. He says they are making adjustments. There was commentary on this thread regarding long awaited updates to Aria. I believe the company is pushing those into 2027, if I heard correctly.
  2. I attended the Florida tailgate and can easily say it was the highlight of the trip Still pissed off about that game but moving on . . .
  3. The Wynn properties are the gold standard for service. Room rates run higher in general but they never want to drop service levels. MGM will get around to updating all of their properties, they don’t want too many rooms out of service at once for upgrades.
  4. We sat 45 yard line Texas sideline behind the players families and it got super loud and the crowd were pretty great most of the game until the 4th quarter when all the beers kicked in and too many tee shirt fans were getting in people’s faces and throwing water bottles etc. In the 4th quarter, they placed two cops in the front row aisle where the players families sat. Pre game tailgate was awesome setup. Florida fans still want the coach gone.
  5. Sure. If you have an established relationship with the casino it doesn’t hurt to ask about a future comp. They probably offer package deals including game tickets.
  6. Nick and Sam’s was a funeral home previously
  7. What’s the latest on Baxter I didn’t see anything recently
  8. What was the Manny Diaz firing story? Mack fired him after we lost at BYU before the team even got on the bus?
  9. What sections/rows are in the shade?
  10. Miami favored by 8 1/2 over the go gatas on Saturday Assume it’s been posted above but can’t find it, what are the Texas sections for the game coming up at Florida? Just interested in the lower levels kthx
  11. Yep. I haven’t been to Vegas in quite a while. That restaurant was run with the oversight of the old man in the way he set things up. I interacted with him a few times and you could just tell his fingerprints were on the culture of the place. I always assumed the son would take over (I never met him) and keep the traditions going. Little did I know he was a problem and not the future of the place. From reading the comments about it on the LasVegaslocally Twitter feed from earlier in the year, I’m not too optimistic on how this new ownership will do but we can only hope they don’t fuck it up. Someone should post their next experience here for the rest of us to get an update.
  12. New Bazaar meats at Palazzo
  13. I saw a video clip from the Sphere of the Wizard of Oz show and it looked pretty cool. I’m not a huge fan of NYE in Vegas. It’s a pain in the ass to get around with the Strip shut down at night and the prices for everything are up for the same food and experiences. I did enjoy it once as an invited guest for a ā€œprivate dinnerā€ which was in a ballroom but the food and entertainment were solid.
  14. Wynn now says they anticipate hotel rooms refresh at Encore starting spring 2026 with limited disruptions. Expected to take a year to complete.
