  1. Not sure if you are referring to banker Andy Beal, but if you haven’t read this book (link below) it’s pretty awesome. Rich dude from Texas flies to Vegas and plays heads up against the top pros at Bellagio for big money. https://www.amazon.com/Professor-Banker-Suicide-King-Richest/dp/0446694975
  2. I’d say go over to Caesars it’s typically thought of as one of the best these days
  3. Per @LasVegasLocally Mark Wahlberg is filming a movie inside Aria
  4. Restaurant update. Haven’t been there in really long time but it was a good one:
  5. It appears that there are some blackjack changes coming to Mirage, which will eventually be rebranded to Hard Rock. https://vegasadvantage.com/report-blackjack-changes-coming-to-mirage/
  6. I forgot that Wynn recently redid the Bar Parasol so that might be what you are looking for on property for cocktails not at a club. Check that out too.
  7. For your quieter bar preference inside the hotel, I’m not really well versed with those options but if you wanted to check out Resorts World which is an easy walk from Encore they have one of those Speakeasy type “secret” bars that has good cocktails with a decent venue. Link to find it below. Also over at Palazzo (easy walk next to Wynn) there is a new restaurant that has a separate bar/lounge area that makes great cocktails in a quieter environment. Place is called Wakuda. All the restaurants inside Wynn/Encore are solid. For lunch I’d enjoy the Terrace PointeCafe and sit outside if the weather is nice. For quintessential Vegas, walk over to the Peppermill. https://cbonthego.com/how-to-find-the-hidden-speakeasy-bar-at-resorts-world/
  8. For planning purposes: The MSG Sphere at The Venetian is wrapping up construction and should be open in the second half of the year. It’s expected that U2 will be the first resident artist announced for the new $2 billion arena behind The Venetian. https://www.playusa.com/coming-to-las-vegas-in-2023/
  9. Read Surly on my phone, listen to music with headphones, watch and chat about sports with people at the table. But yeah folding a lot sometimes isn’t the most fun.
  10. Should be very busy in Vegas for CES. Restaurants should be crowded. I would make reservations if you can get them.
  11. Didn’t play much in 2022. Might try to get back at it more this year.
  12. I am curious if there might be a distinction between chips ON the rail versus on the felt up against the rail.
  13. Fully loaded Saturn is the best brag attempt since the nurse pay stub. So thanks for that early Christmas gift to us all.
  14. Ask nicely when you check in. Tell them first time to stay at Cosmo, it’s your wife’s birthday, and are there any options available for an awesome Strip view room? Fold up a $20 and set on the counter partially under your hand and say I’d be glad to offer this gratuity if you can find us a nice room. If the hotel isn’t fully booked you have a good chance of that working.
  15. Ballys is now officially Horseshoe Mirage now officially being run by the Hard Rock people

  17. Another timeless holiday story of woman stealing your Rolex LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A woman accused of stealing a Las Vegas hotel guest’s watch and concealing it inside her genitals Sunday was in Las Vegas for a Monday court hearing for a similar theft, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned. Sarah Richards, 33, faces charges of grand larceny and administering a drug to aid in the commission of a felony, police said. A man called 911 from the Aria hotel on Sunday morning to report a woman, later identified as Richards, had taken items from his room, including a $12,000 watch, police said. The man told officers he met Richards and invited her to his room, police said. The pair started to cuddle, when Richards reportedly told the man he should take off his Rolex watch or it would cut her while they cuddled. “[The victim] ended up taking off the watch and placing it under his pillow,” police said. “He drank more wine since Richards kept insisting it.” The man later noticed the watch was missing. Richards “went into a panic” and left. The man followed her down the hall, down the elevator and into the lobby where he alerted security, they said. Police initially could not find the watch on Richards’ person, but later located it in her genitals, officers said. “She stated that we were going to find it anyways at jail and she did not want to go through the hassle,” officers wrote in the arrest report. Officers later impounded the watch, placing it inside a biohazard bag, police said. Police said they also found an opened purple pill capsule that “had very little white substances inside of it,” officers said. Richards took another person’s watch in June and was in Las Vegas for a Monday court date for the same crime, police said. Records show she was charged with theft and residential burglary in June. A preliminary hearing in that June case was scheduled for Monday. In that case, the victim told police that he believed Richards drugged him on June 4 at a Las Vegas Strip hotel and stole his Patek Philippe wristwatch, valued at around $100,000. The victim said Richards approached him at a bar in the hotel and the two agreed to go to his hotel room, where Richards then said she needed “help with money.” The victim said he asked hotel security to help him open the safe in his room, after which he gave her $1,000 from it. He told police he woke up hours later with his watch missing from his wrist. The next day, Richards began speaking with an undercover Metro officer at a different Strip property when she began telling him about prostitution. She was later arrested for prostitution-related charges, an arrest report said. Police said Richards lives in Baltimore. She posted bond and her next court date was scheduled for January. https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/las-vegas-police-woman-who-stole-hid-rolex-inside-genitals-was-in-town-for-court-on-similar-theft-charge/
  18. Sure he hired a top flight attorney but probably needs that Charlie Day meme to explain what really happened and why none of it was truly his fault
  19. One thing I learned on this thread is to add Loop 1604 to ignore. That’s all I got.
