    Slots at Cromwell were not kind today. Bankroll is gone.

    Still have $400 for the high limit pull though. We'll be heading over there in just a bit to meet everyone!

    Slot pull didn't go well. Apparently combining all of our bad luck didn't make good luck lol. Still had a great time getting to meet everyone and put some faces to the names. Big thank you to @VegasChic for managing the chaos of 20 people!

    We didn't end up meeting my boss and his wife for drinks so we went up to the room after to take a nap.

    Got up and then had dinner at Giada's. @MrsPTD took the food pics so you'll have to wait for her update there. I wasn't really impressed with the vegetarian sides that we ordered but the desserts and drinks are pretty much top 5 all time, anywhere. Wow.

    Got up early to get @MrsPTD off to the airport then went back to bed for an hour. Just enjoying my coffee and cigarettes now people watching. No VP to go along since I'm broke haha. I'll be heading to the airport in about an hour.

    It might actually be a year before we're back in Vegas which is kind of sad to think about. I'm already registered for the Mortgage Mastermind conference next year and we want to take the kiddo to a beach between now and then (suggestions for reasonable beach front and relatively short flight from Oregon would be appreciated) so I don't see how we'll squeeze in another Vegas trip with my work schedule.

    Really appreciate everyone following along and providing support. Sorry I couldn't really post any good slot/vp/chip porn for ya.

    Early morning on the strip is always so relaxing.

    Now that I'm home I'm just going to fill in some blanks and add some pictures.

    Spa day at Encore did not disappoint. In addition to being a beautiful facility, I really appreciate the fact that it seems to be really low traffic. Although the lockers in my lounge were all being used, there were never more than 3 other people in the area I was using at any time. Sometimes no other visitors were in sight and it felt like I had the whole place to myself! It's also quiet enough to nap on the rock loungers by the jacuzzis and plunge pools. After my massage I also received a body treatment that utilized their Garden Room which was beautiful. The garden room is attached to the treatment room and has a translucent ceiling, sitting area and private shower. The services themselves were both really wonderful. Only one picture because electronic devices are not allowed. This is the one lounging area phones are allowed.

    After 6 hours at the spa, I finally got to see the Cromwell room. It's already been said, but I really enjoyed the room and staying there!! Small, sure. Very comfortable, fun and convenient, though!

    Saturday morning I walked over to Bellagio for the conservatory. Always a beautiful stroll. After that I went looking for Palio Cafe for coffee and hoping for a pastry. The espresso was fine, the croissant was delicious. The line was out the door when I arrived but moved surprisingly quick! I grabbed a great seat at the side counter and was happily surprised by the view.

    I went through the Forum shops after that as I started to make my way back to Cromwell to get ready for the meet and greet and slot pull. It was a fun meet up despite the lack of wins!

    Giada's was a very pretty restaurant and I loved being able to sit at the table right at the windows for the strip view. Could even see the fountain shows under the pedestrian bridge a bit (Thank you @PartTimeDegen for letting me have the seat facing the fountains).
    First we had the Pecorino Crostini and Mushroom Crostini. I liked the mushroom crostini, mostly for the pickled grapes on top, yum!!! The other one was a bit strange, just not my thing I guess!

    We also ordered a Mushroom Pizzette. Lots of mushrooms on that!!!

    Also watermelon caprese salad...

    FEDE3005-D3AD-4AC3-A5EF-69FD46D556AB.jpeg

    Now the dessert and drinks are where things got really exciting. Lol
    We were having a hard time deciding on desserts, so we ordered the Dessert Tasting Menu. First up was the Strawberry-Banana and Raspberry Sobetii with fresh fruit at the bottom. So good!

    73CFABFB-7C03-4141-BE98-D9F5EFBA845F.jpeg

    Then there was limoncello cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut crunch and polenta cake. These were all amazing, the cheesecake being my favorite.

    Lastly came these lemon ricotta cookies. Super delicious, so soft! (There were two, but one disappeared before I could get a picture, haha)

    99A4D92B-0DEC-46C6-B68E-1F1B5DE445CA.jpeg

    For drinks we ordered a Bailey's Affagato, very good!!

    B0475261-0B6D-4C63-90DD-3A7D74BA7491.jpeg

    Also this Espresso Amaretto. Quite possibly my favorite drink anywhere. Their espresso is amazing. If I could only order one thing here again, it would be this drink hands down.

    One more last fountain show pic because they never get old or boring!

    That's why we always try to do a mix of activities. Vegas has a lot to offer!

    Thanks Bo!

    That's two trips in a row now but the previous three went very well. I was due lol.

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    Yeah @MrsPTD is hooked on staying there now haha. I bought four of the glasses they use in their rooms and at Giada's. Front desk had to call and get them delivered by housekeeping because they don't have them in the gift shop. Never hurts to ask!

    So sweet of you PTD. Glad to hear Mrs. PTD also enjoyed the mecca. But who would not love this city where everything glitters at night and fortunes are made and lost over few min.
