Finally back and updating after hectic holidays and winter snow storms. Check out some of the new hotel and shopping deals I have listed for the spring.
I did manage to get away to Vegas for a few days in February. Staying at the Aria Hotel. Very nice room, but nothing fantastic. Also stayed at Bellagio for the first time. Again room nice, but worth over paying for. Still think the best rooms I have stayed in are the suites at the Venetian/Palazzo.
I like the Aria casino, but have no good luck there. Buffet is good, about same as Bellagio, Mirage and Planet Hollywood. Also stopped in the new Cosmopolitan Casino. Very nice and elegant with the large crystal chandelier in the middle of the room. Good selection of slots, not much for video poker. And if you can endure the very long walk to the Wicked Spoon, the buffet at the Cosmo, the desserts are fantastic!! Only ate dinner there one night. Will have to try again to see what the food selection is like. But when I was there, no crab legs. Booooo.
The Mob Experience at the Tropicana is still not open. Can't find an opening date for it. Correction:the Las Vegas Mob Experience should open March 1. I saw the preview center back in December. New food court is open at the Flamingo, burgers, subs, pizza. Johnny Rockets is there, their food is ok. NYNY done with the remodeling in their casino. Still a tight squeeze to get by the machines.
Hopefully the end of winter is in sight and another Vegas vacation soon to follow!!!
