Cross posting this from the Gambling board just in case someone here doesn't visit there.
Heading to Vegas in a few weeks, staying at Palazzo. Taking my sister and her daughter (no pics) and want to show them a good time for their first Vegas trip. I have dinners, shows, pool cabana, etc. plans taken care of. I'll gamble at Palazzo and other places on the Strip, but I would like to get them some gambling experience for low dollars. They don't have much money and will be scared off by high minimums. Would like to take them somewhere that's fun, reasonably nice and not too gross, hopefully a short cab ride from the Palazzo, that has low table limits. I've heard that limits under $25 are pretty much impossible to find on the Strip right now and even hard to find downtown. I'm thinking some sort of nicer locals place maybe.
Ideas?

Slowly burning this thing in. Extremely happy with it compared to the Traeger grill I had. Build on this is incredible. Solid and keeps the heat in. Love the WiFi monitor. So far I have smoked a brisket, made jerky, made bacon and baby back ribs. I don’t regret spending a little more for the Yoder, after starting out on the Traeger.
Thanks! I'm just starting to do my research and the Yoder is high on my list. Have you grilled with it yet? Curious about how it works for grilling steaks.

I looked it up. Perhaps the 2019 Gold Cup Final. Two years ago. Here was the roster:
Steffen - good
Cannon - meh
Miazga - meh
Long - meh
Ream - meh
McKennie - good
CP - good
Bradley - meh
Morris - meh
Altidore - no
Arriola - no
Subs:
Roldan, Zardes, Lovitz - LOL
THREE solid players on that entire team, and that's less than 2 years ago. Who would have known?
Quite a change!

Anyone done Beauty & Essex at Cosmopolitan. Seems like a place the chicks might dig.

I've seen it 3 times. They cycle through acts, so there will be ones you haven't seen. The Gazillionaire comedy is pretty much the same though.
That's fine. I'll be drunk. I'll laugh and be entertained I'm sure. With my shitty gambling luck, the $200 ticket for 75 minutes of entertainment is a bargain.

My verde and black home jersey is a great conversation starter around town. Old white dudes, teenage kids, cute little Mexican chicks, baggers at the grocery store, all feel compelled to comment. I'm also impressed that they seem to be watching the games based on comments. This city is definitely fired up about the new team and new stadium. Hoping they can have a successful enough season to keep the interest going beyond the first season. I think that starting the season with all of these road games may have actually been a blessing in disguise - upped the interest as everyone has been watching the games on TV and the interest is just building and building towards the home opener. Gonna be a rowdy scene.

Heading out the first weekend in June, staying in a comped room at Palazzo. People who gamble like me (couple thousand gambling bankroll max for the weekend) don't normally get comped rooms at places like Palazzo, so that tells you something about the clientele situation in Vegas right now. Expecting a bit of a shit show, given everything I've been hearing including the previous trip report. I've booked our group dinners at Mon Ami Gabi, Carbone and Momofuku, breakfast at Bouchon one morning and we have a pool cabana booked one day where we'll just eat breakfast and lunch at the pool. Gonna see Absinthe, second time for us but some in our group haven't see it yet.
If anyone has any cool new bar or restaurant recommendations, I'm listening. It's been a couple years.

It doesn't appear that Saturday's game against LA Galaxy is going to be televised in English. Anyone have any experience with watching a game via @TUDNUSA? If it's on my Univision channel, I probably watch it in Spanish. Otherwise, I guess the Austin FC app or website.
English Language:
Watch: @TUDNUSA (Twitter)
Listen: ALT 97.5 FMSpanish Language:
Watch: Univision/Unimas/TUDN
Listen: TUDN Radio Austin (104.3-HD2, KLQB)No experience with any of that, but from what I've heard the Austin FC app will only have locally televised games not out of town games televised by cable networks, so I wouldn't count on the app.

Anyone have a suggestion for a spot in South Austin to watch the match?
I've tried two of the bars here in the southside, and neither had much enthusiasm. The games were on the tv, but most of the patrons did not seem particularly interested.
I want to go somewhere that cheering loudly when a goal is scored will not cause people to stare, and I won't be the only one wearing Austin FC gear.
Must I travel North?
I've been to the new Lustre Pearl South a couple times. They have a big indoor area with open garage doors on one side with one big TV and several smaller ones. Lots of folks wearing jerseys. Not a full blown rowdy soccer watching environment, but definitely more so than a standard bar.

Saw a post on Orangebloods about the meeting and Ketchum is saying it's serious. Don't like the sound of this at all.

Do the games stream through the AFC app so you can cast to your TV?
YouTube TV doesn’t seem to have the CW and I don’t really want to go buy an antenna just for that channel.Yes you can cast to your TV from the app, at least you could a few weeks back when I tried it.

Great win! I am so pumped about this team. And the supporters making these road trips are so freaking awesome.
Shame about Sweat. I hope his knee injury isn't too bad. I also hope the Pochettino "registration" issue is resolved ASAP!
Seriously. I thought that kind of shit only happened in Europe.

This thing feels like the implosion of the USFL 35 years ago. Wonder if the same dipshits have their hands on this somehow

Ricky can do whatever he wants as far as I’m concerned. Love the dude. Hope he makes millions off of it.

Rookie move. I've never driven a car in Vegas because my BAC is always over the legal limit.
Seriously. Who the fuck drives in Vegas?
