27th Anniversary. Me and Mrs. P.

Here are some VP hits

 

More food and gambling. The sausage rolls are from Hennesey's. Do not recommend. (The Guiness is only fair there. Nice bartenders though)

 

Here was my hand pay at Bar Canada. My first hand pay at one of the Stevens brother"s casinos.

 

Hot Noodz, is a great little place at Cortez. Bonus, they could do gluten free for Mrs. P.

 

All in all it was a great trip. We did have a couple of little headaches. After dinner at Hugo's Mrs. P just went up to the room and crashed. I stayed down playing VP at Cortez for a while until a VERY persistent prostitute started bugging me and would not take no for an answer. So I just packed up and went to the room early because I was getting tired of being bugged by her and the staff/security seemed to have very little interest in helping me out. As I said, between the unhoused and the hookers, both of whom were aggressive, I liked staying there but don't think we will be doing so again.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm a prude. I could care less what two consenting adults choose to do with their money/sex etc. But as you know, I'm a happily married man and, while I'm not offended if they approach me (that's their job after all), a simple "not interested" should be the end of the conversation. I should not feel like I'm being aggressively sold a time-share. (which, when you think about it, I kind of am).

Those sausage rolls from Hennessy's were a big mistake. I went to bed early that night not feeling well at all. I'd go there again for a Guinness, but not food.

Bar Canada was great as usual. You saw the nice little $1500 hand pay. Overall gambling I ended up down just a little. I still have plenty in my budget for our trip to the Hard Rock Guitar in Hollywood Florida coming up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can parlay that into our gambling bank roll for our October Birthday trip.

Anyway, sorry for falling off a cliff there. I'll do better next time.

Thanks for reading along this far.

 

We have ditched the Strip altogether really, not just Aria.

 

This was our first time staying at Cortez in a while. We got a really good offer from them. That said, for our October trip we're running back to the safe downtown confines of Circa.

I mean, it's downtown, I get it that there are challenges down there in terms of clientele and other things. But Cortez was just too often for my taste.
