    You still have time to hit it big, my friend!! And hey, if all else fails, you can just move on to more (and more) adult beverage consumption....

    So, brief rewind...we had a late morning snack at the Wynn cafe (lattes & pastries), which led to pushing our lunch from 1:00pm to 2:00pm...then we just ended up canceling it and pulling the dinner reservation in sooner to 5:45pm.

    Dinner was at SW and it was pretty much perfection. SW holds a special place in my heart as my 21st birthday party was in one of their private dining areas once upon a time.

    Couldn’t have asked for a better table, weather, service, or food!

    I’m actually laying here in bed...4 hours since my last bite of food...and I’m still reaaaaal full :flushed:
    Will follow up in the morning regarding my gaming adventures from the rest of today!

    I'm fairly certain that masks are required at all times, unless sipping from a drink or puffing from a cigarette. Mask down to sip or puff, mask up when done.

    Hmmmmm....this looks familiar. We must have similar taste in pastries! Try the vanilla butter coffee with extra cream next. Yum!

    I hope you’re enjoying your bday trip!

    So...kind of. The CW asked for my players card and took it to the host desk so they could evaluate my play. Long story short, they comped the glass with a hard comp slip, but it was kind of a process (at least the first time when I on the regular slot floor at Encore – I had the same experience in HL slots at Wynn, but it was much quicker and streamlined).

    I think I will try that this morning! Thanks for the recommendation! If you haven’t had the almond croissant yet, it was pretty tasty – I preferred it over the apricot danish (although that was good, too!)

    also....HAPPY (official) BIRTHDAY! Hope to cross paths with you and Ron today. Besides a 1pm lunch, I’ll probably be around Wynn again (mixed between slot floor and Charlie’s).

    so...from my experience so far, it’s been an interesting trip with respect to mask compliance. I’ll definitely cover that more during the wrap-up!

    the rules are correct as captured above. Charlie’s was slightly different at the bartops, but I imagine they may be changing that if the state/county’s COVID patrollers ever take a stroll through there...

    After SW, I played for another three hours or so on the Wynn side. I think I had about a $150 voucher or so and got to play on it that entire time, had it as low as $80 and as high as $800. Definitely a grinder!
    Pics/summary:

    I’ve found a new love in MONOPOLY MONEY. Omg, they have a few on the Wynn side and I just love this game! It helps that I’ve gotten amazing play out of it. These 7-bag hits happened at 8:16pm & 8:18pm:

    Cashed out from there at $600, and moved around quite a bit. Ground out some play on FDL, did well for a while (up to $740) then cashed at $500.

    Then went on a nice tear on LiL Nightlife! Ended up leaving at around $650ish

    Lost in some assorted Lightning Links and others, then saw a bank of DD with a huge Grand. Ended up playing even on them:

    Popped by to the progressive VP and luckily got a quick quad. Took ticket down to $500.

    And then capped off my evening back on Monopoly Money. Played for about 20 minutes and ticket was as low as $380ish, but clawed back and cashed at $500 thanks to this helping:

    Now I’m about to get ready and head down to get some coffee. Happy Friday, all!

    Are you playing any on the encore side? And how is it

    how you compare so far to Cosmo. As I have stayed at Cosmo several times also and enjoy it but like you in two weeks I’ll be staying at encore for first time also

    thanks

    Good luck today, and happy birthday! Out of curiosity, What are the bartop minimums at Wynn / Encore? Just curious if they have any 25 cent games available for VP or keno.

    Quick update: I love Charlie’s, I just wish I could win here! :sob: :sob:
    Between yesterday and today...it’s been a $2,100 bleed on $1 VP. But, I found a new excellent sour today and chatted with some awesome bartenders, Monique & Dave.

    And finally got to try the Wynn Signature Margarita

    We feel the EXACT same way about Charlie’s! Love it so much but lost SO much there. Hopefully you get that one amazing hit and many celebratory cocktails!

    Ugh. My luck at Charlie's wasn't great either. And technically the highest return VP game is this annoying one (1-4 coin 96.93%; 5 coin 98.44%).

    No dollars+, but you can definitely play one credit and get drinks comped. Just don't 1-coin TDB though, AWAK pays at the DDB rate without max bet.

    Good luck on the finish @GlenCoco!
