    Busted day 3, lost a bunch of flips AK<TT, 99<AQ, AQs<88, and then ran JJ into KK to end it. I was catching a lot of hands, just not connecting or running into better.

    My buddies and I do it all the time for friends with the MGM properties. We use the mobile check-in, and just give them the login via our apps. Mobile key works like a charm.

    Vegas is a zoo this weekend so I dont have any comps and My buddy is putting me up at Flamingo. I just need to use his ID to check in at the kiosk. Shouldnt need anything else right?

    Are tickets for events at The Sphere dynamic pricing? I swear when I was looking earlier I saw tix on StubHub for like $50+ cheaper which seems strange considering the date isn’t for a couple months.

    Maybe it was a scam.

    not to my knowledge. but Stubhub is great about fake tickets. Had an issue at a festival where I bought all three days but they ended up being for 2 days so they just sent us tickets for the other day. Was a pain in the ass going through customer service though

    Maybe I just looked at the wrong date/time or something. Seemed weird to have such a notable difference across StubHub.

    Realized I will be out there for Canelo-Bud Crawford at Allegiant. Never been to a big fight in Vegas, but I will imagine it will be steep. Might be a see how the bets are going and what tickets are like day of.

    I don’t think they are bad. I haven’t looked since tickets went on sale to the general public, but they released VIP packages last week that were around $1000.

    Anyone been to atomic saloon?

    I just decided I’m going to head out in September for a night or two.

    also. In the Caesar’s app, on some nights it has comp. For the price of the room. But it let me click it. Does that mean they’ll comp the room or I would have to have a comp to book it?

    Could you use the resort credit anywhere?

    We are heading out at end of September and I’m staying at Encore for the first time. Noticed the room came with $65 F&B per night, but it seemed pretty restrictive. Understand why they do it but since I’ve never stayed there I wish they said where I could use them vs couldn’t.

    That’s what I was hoping I was getting, it came with the booking so I’m not getting too greedy though. I’ve never used a credit, looks like you just charge stuff to the room and the credit applies automatically?

    I didn't like it very much. It's put on by the same group that does Absinthe but it's not near as good IMO. It can be vulgar like Absinthe, but it felt to me like it was sometimes just being vulgar to be vulgar and there wasn't much of a joke attached.

    I think I've said it in this thread before, but watching any of those types of shows after Absinthe will probably all leave me wanting more. If you saw Atomic Saloon without ever seeing Absinthe, it would probably be a hit.

    Carbone is expensive and ok. Not somewhere I'd use a dinner on personally but I also don't really go out for Italian

    During my last trip to Vegas, a friend wanted to take me somewhere different. We went to Capo’s restaurant and speakeasy on Sahara avenue. It’s a ride from the strip but it was an awesome experience if you want the flavor of old Vegas. I’ll go back.

    I’m going to see Wizard of Oz at the Sphere mostly just to experience it (not a big concert guy). I’m trying to avoid spoilers, but was watching some clips of BSB and the production looked great. I feel like I should take some sort of motion sickness medicine before though haha
