Las Vegas Trip Report Part 2: It gets better, but then it gets worse.
Holy cow, I can't believe I left off my trip report on Tuesday! So much stuff happened since then!
This is the part of my trip report where the narrative kind of wanders of course and breaks down into a series of anecdotes. I'll try to keep some sort of structure going, though.
The remainder of Tuesday involved Shae playing DDR in at the arcade between Main Street Station and California Casino, and I believe we went to Triple George for the first time today as well. Triple George was really good -- we got an expensive (but big and delicious) shrimp cocktail and Shae got a NY Strip and I got grilled scallops. Excellent food, great drinks, and if you check in on Yelp you get a discount. I definitely suggest going here -- it's right across (and part of) the new Downtown Grand area.
Actually, I think we went to Triple George on NYE. So that means I can't remember what we had for dinner today. Was it pizza at 4 Queens again? Anyways...
Wednesday, New Year's Eve: Today we had breakfast at the buffet in Main Street Station. Quite good, and man, is this thing cheap, especially with your player's card. Plus, the food is a little different due to the heavily Hawaiian clientele, so I was able to have some miso soup with breakfast and Shae had Portuguese sausage and a salsa omelette.
It was here that I made my first major mistake of the trip, teaching Shae to play blackjack. I'm kidding, of course, but only mostly. Shae will latch onto a game(video, card, etc) and play the heck out of that thing. We're currently engaged in a long-term Chinese Poker game that we've been playing for 2+ hours a night all week so far. So yeah.
Anyway, we both wind up losing our money, Shae much more slowly than I do by playing more conservatively. Still, the virus is now careening through her bloodstream...
So now we head to Ice Bar in the GN for a drink or two, and THEN we go to Triple George. This is starting to make sense again! Except for at some point today I play poker in the GN poker room.
Look, sorry, it's been too long and now I don't have everything in order anymore. So instead I'll just finish up with some stories. That will be my next post.
