I always, always check with the pit when leaving a table.
Unless I forget....blame DJ.

 

I'm also realizing, as I go back through my MLife tier credits and my room folios ... they completely fucked me on this trip. Only showing about 100,000 tier credits. Should be more like 175,000 ... just on spend alone. Come on. This is ridiculous.

 

Habibi, you honestly made me shed a tear with all these food pics (oh and the vintage veuve). How in the hell do you stay so skinny while eatting this much lol.

 

Thanks, brother! Well, I feel like the red wine counteracts the food. Hahaha. The Veuve actually was a huge highlight. Fantastic wine, drinking beautifully, and I think it was only like $89 at Total Wine! I'd drink that all day.

I'm totally in detox mode now. Lettuce wraps two nights in a row.

 

We are also fans of Yardbird. We went the first time about three weeks after they opened and had a really bad experience, service and food wise. I wrote the owner and he invited me back to make up for it. Upon our return, we had a fantastic experience in every way. The Butterscotch Cake with Bacon was phenomenal.

They are definitely on our must do list every trip now.

 

I was also disappointed to see these BJ conditions this past week. I've been playing $25 BJ at Aria for years. And on the $10 craps, it's now a $5 minimum for each All Tall Small bet. So I'm done with MLife for now. Changed my March Madness trip from Aria to The Linq lol. There is more value in TR Diamond than MLife Gold for low rollers like me.

 

I agree. MLIFE never gives me much for my play. I am diamond at CET and haven't paid for a room in 10 years with them and usually get the Augustus tower at Caesars. Somehow, we are comped a panorama suite at PH for our April trip while MLIFE sends me $49 room offers at MGM.

 

Just finished this now, and has me looking forward to my first stay on the strip since 2011!

Very enjoyable read, and superb food porn.

Cheers

 

Follow up briefly: Took two weeks for MLife to finally contact me, and they straightened out the tier credits. Still trying to get Aria to get my theo worked out. I did not end up down $368 for the trip. What a joke.

 

I have found Aria to be more accurate when I win than when I lose. I play tables so there is more room for subjectivity for sure.
Also craps, which you play and I do much less of, can be really hit or miss. No puns intended.
