    Goooood morning, Vegas. Small recap on last night...

    We went to Mizumi at Wynn and it was...phenomenal. The food, the service, the ambiance & atmosphere....I was all about it. When we arrived for our 7:30 reservation, every table was filled (socially distanced), which was surprising for a Wednesday (but a welcome sight for hopefully some Vegas recovery!).
    Our waitress, Heather, was a serious delight. You know how you can just meet some people and automatically connect with them? I know this sounds RIDICULOUS to say given the circumstance haha but she was awesome.

    We had an excellent table very close to the edge of the water. If you’ve been to SW, very similar type of view, just no Lake of Dreams show. Took this at the end of our meal when things were slowing down. Picture doesn’t do it justice.

    Mizumi reminds me of a competitor to Zuma in several ways, but especially with the similar cuisine – they even have a Robata grill like Zuma does. On that note, that’s probably the only thing we’d skip next time we return is any protein from the Robata grill. Not sure how theirs is different than Zumba’s, but the items on our Robata Platter (beef tenderloin, chicken, shrimp, shishito peppers, exotic mushrooms) all had a very smoky/ashy taste to them (particular the meat/shrimp). I know some folks may enjoy that, though! Just not our cup of tea.

    Besides that, though, I cannot wait to reorder most of our items again another time!
    Personal favorites were Nevada roll (tempura Alaskan king crab, avo, cucumber), both types of tempura (seasonal vegetable and snapper, which I now see I forgot to get a photo of), and omg, the Japanese sweet potatoes. These also came from the robata, but weren’t smoky. These potatoes were unlike any other thing I’ve had. Deliciously sweet!
    The complimentary bday dessert was...*drool.* Blackberry sorbet with a green tea macaron & green tea creme. UM, YUM.

    We decided to team play for a bit and things weren’t going so hot. We ended up going to the Huff’N’Puff bank and played literally every single one, and finally the last one gave us a few bonuses. This one took us to about even on our team play $:

    And then...yeah things didn’t go well haha. Could have been MUCH worse, though. Went back to encore and slotted around and didn’t hit much on Treasure Ball, Zeus, DD Exp. Before finally resigning to bed, gave some VP a quick stab, and hit pointies! And, of course, four hands earlier I was playing TDB lol

    all said and done, down about $1k after the first day but today’s a new day!
    Did just over 5,000 points between slots & VP (prob 70% slots).

    The hit was even more dramatic bc it was from the “?” Spin on the wheel, so I got the first three money bags, then the second & third reels would slow down to reveal what it was going to finally stop on...I was practically screaming at the machine for the full third reel :laughing:

    hahah I WISH I hit the Huff’N’Puff Grand before! Nah, @Wiscolovesvegas and I were just daydreaming about it and “planning” on hitting it :)

    Super helpful – thanks a ton for the info! I’ll keep this in mind as I go.

    “Little Friday” hahaha! I’m gonna use that! I totally get what you’re saying. If I HAD to pick, though, it’s the “personal casino” experience. I love when it’s quiet!

    Oh, and it WAS delightful! Def recommend.

    Had a nice run on Quick Hit Super Wheel – played a while and had some good (and some not so good) bonuses.

    and another for $27 I forgot to snap photo of.

    in for $1000, out for $1,100. Could have been way bigger given those nice bonuses, but I’m happy with *any* profit!

    Sad to report all of my morning’s winnings ($600+) plus another hundred are gone...
    Isn’t it supposed to be opposite of that? VP lets you play and slots suck your money? :rolleyes:

    either way, I’m a big fan of Charlie’s bar. Fair VP paytables ($1, $2, & $5 denom), comped premium drinks, good tap/bottle/can beer selection (from a non-beer snob, mind you), and great bartenders. Was pretty quiet today.

    (FYI: DDB 9/5, TDB 9/6, BP 7/5)

    Still a losing affair, ooooof. Just had this — happy to win! But in true Buffalo Diamond fashion, a FUCK TON of dead spins. Had 49 total 3x spins.
