Night Two
We woke up bright and early and summoned Alexa to open up the curtains. A beautiful view of the strip through a wall made up of floor to ceiling windows... incredible.
We changed into bathing suits and headed to the pool. We were greeted with two sets of towels and bottled waters. Our vacation was now in full swing as we relaxed poolside for several hours.
We snuck in workouts and then took a walk to the Fashion Show Mall.
Lunch was a free 16” inch pizza from Grimaldi’s. I had a Botanist and tonic and Bobbi a white wine. $30 incl tip. (B)
The walk back to Encore was entertaining. The Sunday Beach Club at Encore was jumping. Scantily clad girls getting sloppy and dudes walking crooked in and around our hotel made for great people watching.
I had an hour or two to kill before Bobbi had an appointment at a dry bar (hair) so I planned to gamble a little.
All the tables at Encore appeared to be $25 so I head over to the closest place that would have lower table minimums, Treasure Island. Walking through TI reaffirms why I love Encore. Everything is different, from the vibe and the clientele to the smell and the decor.
I found a $10 roulette wheel and
Play a bunch of numbers for about $3-$5 each hoping to get a little lucky. 5-6 spins later and I was out $100.
Immediately following I head over to a $10 BJ table. The guy to my left was loud and obnoxious. He was one of those “this dealer hates me”, “she only smiles when she wins” type of guy. But he was spot on with some of his rants. The cards were pretty brutal and that clown got his ass handed to him. I battle to only lose $45 as my wife texts that she’s heading to her Dry Bar appt. I gladly go meet her to get away from the degenerates at Ti. This little 1 hour stop reminded me why poker is the much better option of gambling.
(-$145)

The Salmom belly pieces were delicious. Although good we were expecting more from the black cod in light of the hype.
