Gordon Ramsay Burger seems perfect for what I’m after. Thanks.
Anyone have opinions on Sushi? Kabuto is booked.
Kame Omakase is $350/p which is pretty steep.
I might just venture off alone and hit up an AYCE place. Google raves about Sushi Neko and Umiya.
I’ve been to Umiya multiple times. My strategy is to pick a place that has uni on their dinner menu.
Worth going to I assume? Looks like Uni is dinner only which is a bummer but whatever.
Uni as an option in AYCE places is usually dinner only, limit one order. Umiya is the best AYCE place I’ve been to in Vegas, out of maybe four. It’s just a matter of if you want AYCE.
Here’s my last trip.
Looks fantastic. Yama Sushi is .5 miles from Resorts World. I was going to go play poker there one morning so might do both at once. Definitely will do one of these though.
Anyone eaten at Partage?
Agreement for the Seminoles to buy Mirage announced. Bye bye volcano?

“vegas and the fucking hard rock international” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
The last 15 years has been Vegas slowly morphing from the most incredible place on earth into a miserable corporatist hellhole.
man i get nostalgia morphing our memory but 2006 vegas was a miserable corporatist hellhole.
I spent some time in Vegas in ‘96, seemed pretty much the same as it is now.
I think you have to go back to the Rat Pack for a time when Vegas was cool.
The scene in Swingers nailed it pretty well.
I disagree with this. The nickel and dime / resort fee / pay for parking / overpriced everything was absolutely not the deal from whenever I started going - 2008.
Oh yeah that. I just meant the vibe in the casinos. I stayed in a motel off strip in ‘96.
I spent one night at Aria recently when passing through. It felt like their hand was in my pocket the entire time. And a 45-minute wait to check in on top of it all. Why do people put up with that?
I do mobile check-in when staying at an MGM casino. No waiting in line.
Well yeah but when you book from the freeway you live with what you get.
I did find an auto-checkin kiosk and was able to use that. But amazingly like 95% of the people seemed perfectly happy to wait in a 46-minute line, and then had a LOT of questions when they got up to the front.
Like wtf is there to ask about? Get your room, if you have any other questions just direct them at one of the hundreds of employees milling around.
“Casino” came out in 1995.
“ Today, It Looks Like Disneyland. And, While The Kids Play Cardboard Pirates, Mommy And Daddy Drop The House Payments And Junior’s College Money On The Poker Slots.”
“ In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you play. Today, it’s like checking into an airport and, if you order room service, you’re lucky if you get it by Thursday.”
Don’t even need to go to a kiosk when you can use your phone as the key. I can check-in while walking from my car to the elevators.
I’d spend 30 minutes trying to install the app for the one time I go to Vegas every 5 years.
I’m going to Vegas next month for my birthday. (Staying at the Mirage, in fact.) Does it feel awkward if you attend a show solo? Never been to one and thinking of going.
It depends on you.
