    Today is a great day. Because while I might be waking up at home, I’ll be falling asleep in Vegas.

    This is normally the time when I try and jump on an earlier flight but alas, too much cat herding to do with group coming with me.

    Today is finally the day! Seems like October was so long ago. Staying at Bellagio for a week. Hopefully this trip is profitable for once.

    Small check in.

    I intended on sleeping as soon as we checked in, but ended up at the table until 3:30. Not great, not terrible, down 500….got beat on some bad doubles.

    Today was fantastic. We spent the whole day at the cabana, then went to the D for the steakhouse. About to hit up some bj again!

    That's not new. I had one back in April, and pretty sure it was on the menu last time I was there back in 2019 even? Definitely a nice treat when it's 95° with no shade in sight

    He is awesome. And that is the stereotypical, "What ever it is, i didn't do it" face.

    OK, ready for my summary now

    Whole 5 days was jam-packed and very hectic for me, so if you saw me and we didn't hang out, I am so sorry but time was just not on my side this trip!

    1) didn't win any money, but also didn't play nearly as much as I wanted to, only lost like 300-400.00 between two people so not bad. Our fav new game is this Wonder Woman, could play it for hours, it is so fun

    2) My dog was an absolute angel for the most part. He did wake us up at 4am Vegas time every morning, because he normally wakes up at 6am Central. So yeah, was brutal...but he did go to bed every night at 5pm and we could do whatever we wanted in the evenings so it was a good tradeoff. We usually had to walk him in the morning to get energy out. We got into a "routine" where we would either walk north or south strip with him in backpack, and then on the way back to hotel, we would take him out of the backpack and have him walk back normal. He really can only walk a mile or so before he's exhausted, small dog life :) He loved being in the backback and now that we are at home, I will see him in there voluntarily just chilling. He is probably ready to hit the slots again haha!

    3) I stayed at Cosmo for 4 nights and at NoMad for 1 night. It was a hassle to move hotels and only did so because Cosmo wanted an arm and a leg for Friday before memorial day and I had NoMad comped. Luckily, NoMad front desk was able to get me checked in at 6am, so I spent a leisurely morning transferring the dog kennel and luggage, which was nice.

    4) Didn't play ANY VP at Cosmo, was so disappointed. My husband didn't want to, and I didn't want to sit by myself at the bar so I didn't do it. Didn't feel like I could take my dog in a backpack there either, so I decided to low roll it on slots with my dog for hours in the afternoon at Cosmo while my husband was napping. Great drinks and drink service at Cosmo. The difference in drink service at Cosmo compared to any MGM or Caesars property is just astonishing. I did go to Ellis Island with my husband and a friend of ours, had to wait a looong time to get into the cafe so I played min bet on some weird Cleopatra VP/slot thing...I never knew what was going on and played on a 20.00 bill for like 2 hrs haha. Steak was delish of course

    IMG_7134.jpeg

    5) I saw David Copperfield and it was awesome. Yes, there were parts that were cheesy but I grew up watching him and loved it.

    6) Crazy story of the trip: On Thursday evening, after Ellis Island, we went back to Cosmo and played some slots with our friend we ate dinner with. He left around 11Pm and my husband went to bed. I told them I was going to play slots for an hr and then go to bed as well. Around 11:30, a acquaintance/friend of mine (who I knew was in Vegas but we hadn't met up yet) sent me a text saying "I'm ubering to Cosmo to see you!!!" so I was like "OOOK, guess I am staying up a bit later".

    I went to meet my friend and her traveling friend at The Henry, where they had some late-night munchies. This was around midnight. Then my friend was telling me about their crazy adventures, and how she had to take her friend to the ER for some sort of earache and they were there all day, got special meds for it, etc. I asked them if they wanted to play a few slots, but that I couldn't stay up too late (Getting up at 4 am with the dog and all). So my friend tells me she has to hit the ATM at Cosmo, so I am like cool, ok. So she withdraws cash and we find a machine and we start to play/chat. All of a sudden she goes "omg, I left my plastic bag at the ATM!!" I am so confused because I saw her carrying around a bag of trash and say "Wasn't it just a trash bag" and she's like "Yes there was some trash in there, but there was also my friend's prescription meds in there". So she hurries back to the ATM, where OF COURSE the bag is gone now, because HELLO, looks like a bag of trash. Then it was like the end of the world for them, and I was trying to keep them calm, went to security to see if by SOME chance it was turned in as lost and found, etc. It wasn't turned in, so I was like "It had to have been thrown away, you can call for a new prescription". And they are still freaking out about it, almost to the point where the girl who had the earache was going to pummel my friend. It's 1 AM at this point and I am at the end of my rope so I am like "Well I don't know what to do, so I guess I am going to bed..." My friend looks at me and whispers "Aubrey, there's was a SHIT ton of weed in that bag that someone else paid us to get" and I am like OMG. Hot mess express. I just made my excuses and went to bed HAHA, but WOW. Getting up at 4am with my dog that morning was bad and I was also a little pissed that they kind of ruined my chill gambling night...so that is why I just didn't meet up with anyone else this trip, no one's fault, just got real soured on it that night.

    6) Hopefully next trip will be early July so I can go see O or Mystere, not sure if I will bring dog or not, but I am already itching to get back. I would go in June, but I really want to see a cirque show and shed some of the weight I gained while on vacation lol :)

    That dog is seriously adorable. So funny about the weed in the bag... I guess not so much for your friend though ;-)

    I don't partake myself, but honestly, it's legal here and you can buy it with a 5-minute taxi/Uber ride. Unless there's some reason your friend is paying someone else to get pot for them (which makes it more sketchy), there's no reason to play games like that. Just head over to Planet13 or whatever.

    Very good dog. He's got that "I am happy and definitely not causing trouble" look down pat!

    @campie1988 well thanks for the update and sorry that happened. I really prefer solo trips because my friends are buttheads a lot of the time. I just don’t want to babysit others in vegas.

    The dog is very cute and happy that was a good experience.
