I'd try it one time. That book is nuts.
Or get a day bed or cabana at Stadium Swim.

PBR bar recently closed... they couldn't strike a deal with the Miracle Mile Shops and are going to be relocating. Nothing announced yet.
Circa Sportsbook is worth the money, imo. Nothing like it anywhere. Great vibe and insane view of the games.

TI offers great value. I love staying there, but I'm a middle-aged dude so my opinion is likely in the minority.

The pool is heated iirc

Work event last week had me at Virgin, the old Hard Rock. Really nice resort, kinda liked the quiet off-the-strip vibe while being close enough that ubers to the strip were $10. Took wife with me, her first time to the city ever. We didn’t do much, saw Miranda Lambert and ate at Hex (one of my favs). Took her to Fremont and gotta be honest, not at all a place I’ll return if not already hammered; outside of the LED canopy and simply being famous, dirty dirty area that’s not offering much in comparison to the strip.
She enjoyed it, though, and we’ll be planning a return visit for just shows (cirque and concerts). Me and the boys looking at a golf/sportsbook trip next year during the NFL season

Two of Circa's six pools are heated.

Pretty terrible. It was up near Wynn.

I was on the strip outside of Harrahs area at the time. Not too far. Some nut job just randomly started stabbing people completely unprovoked. It’s sad to think this but I’m surprised we don’t hear more of these type of stories happening in Vegas.
I heard the outside pool area for Circa is super loud. To the point it’s annoying. Thoughts?
I would think too that if it’s a major sports event, it would be extremely busy (in and out of pool) which would make me want to avoid.
Back from a long weekend for the FSGA conference.
It's everyone's favorite I know but Lotus of Siam continues to be so good. Tried the Red Rock location and it was stellar.

It's not the normal Las Vegas hotel but I love the Vdara. Next to Aria. Easy walking to just about everything. But way more chill without the casino in the hotel. Very nice.
Momofuku at the Cosmopolitan is also outstanding. One of my favorite restaurants in the country.

I ate there on a whim last year. Got 2 seats in front of the kitchen area. Me and my buddy had a nice date.
We had the same excellent server this time as the last time I was there. I asked him about it and he looked around the room and said, "He's been here 7 years, she's been here 6 years, he's been here 7 years..." When a restaurant has that kind of stability, that tells me it's a good place.
I asked him how much David Chang monitors them and he said they've proven to be so good that Chang mostly just let's them do what they want.

Staying there next month for the 4th time. My favorite place in CityCenter.
ETA: They have a very nice spa too

I'll be in town for March Madness again this year. Room rates were through the roof with dumps like Luxor going for $400/ night. I'll be sharing a room with 2 other 40 year olds, lol. I'll spend that savings on booze, buckets, and dice.

I've spent one night in the Luxor. Those elevators felt very weird. Not sure I will go back except to the casino floor.

I'll be there for a trade show 3/14 - 3/17, at least I'll be there for the opening games on Thurs.
Luckily got in on a conference room block at Encore for ~$300/night.
Best Friend is a must see as well. It's Roy Choi's restaurant and it's fantastic. Way more casual then Momofuki but off the charts good.

Is that he Korean fusion place with the DJ? I ate there too and enjoyed it, but I was high.

They also have very nice staff.
I was in Vegas Dec for Raiders/Pats. Night before the game around 3 am, I was leaving the Cosmo casino, and walking back to Aria. I go through the mall, cut out the side, and walk into the lobby, cut through the casino, use my card at the elevator, and go up to my floor. I forget my room number, and my key isn't working at my room. I try a few more, and am just walking along the corridor, trying my key. I was tired, and definitely a bit stoned.
i finally walk down to the front desk, and hand my key to the guy, and say,' I cannot get this to work, can you help me out?' Thank god I wasn't being a **** about it.
Guy takes my card, which clearly says Aria on it, types a few things and says, "Mr. massraider? Yes, you are staying at Aria. This is the Vdara Hotel"
No idea, why my key let me in the elevator at Vdara, but good to know.
EDIT: Vdara doesn't have a casino? What the heck did I walk through?

Hey JB we are heading there tonight for dinner. Any “must try” apps or dishes?

bbq ribeye and the kogi tacos imo. and get extra of his hawaiian rolls...goodness they're great
they make a great manahtten, too
I've had about 3/4 of the menu and it's all been outstanding. https://www.zmenu.com/best-friend-by-roy-choi-las-vegas-online-menu/
For a place with as much schtick as it has, the servers are outstanding. On a couple of visits, I've just let them create an order for us. They also do a chef menu that's sweet.
Kogi Tacos and Kimchi Fried Rice are awesome.
Slippery Shrimp is great.
Street Corn is a must have
The whole fish is great and the fried chicken is great.
I seriously don't think you can go wrong.
The Boulevardier and Old Fashioned drinks are spot on.

Bill Burr was awesome last night. His opener even killed it, forget the guys name but will definitely track it down.

Going for a week in October. Been once before but a few things I feel like I missed last time - Golden Knights game, TopGolf and some time in a sports book. Is Circa the best bet for the ladder?
We planned this trip for a while but didn't immediately book our hotel (the couple we're meeting there did) and then they announced the When You Were Young festival for the same weekend and now we'll be paying an obscene amount (I'm still holding out hope prices drop).

Yes, it is unbelievable. But be prepared to pay for the privilege to sit in the book. When my friends and I went we posted up at video poker machines on the level 2 balcony. Great view of the screens and just have to hit the buttons once in a while.

Have a seat reserved at Circa sportsbook for Thursday night. Can't wait!

Theater seat? What are they charging this year?

$25 for the thursday night game. Sunday prices were ridiculous so heading elsewhere.

I burst into involuntary laughter when I got quotes on Circa and Golden Gate for October. About $500/nt at Circa, $220 at GG. They had my player's club number. Once I settled down, I emailed my guy Nords at El Cortez, who set me up in the same epic room I was in for the Final Four for $215, all in 
Clarification: $215 for all five nights

Haven't been there for Sunday football, but overall their prices aren't as bad as they may initially sound. Circa allows your reservation to count towards food and drinks. I think we paid $250 for a table of four and easily blew through the $250.

For the Sunday day games the booth/table prices were $3000 and $8000. Individual stadium seats were I think $400. Didn't include the night game. Looking now, the table/booth prices for the Sunday night game alone are $750 and $2000.

Yikes. You ain't making that up in booze and burgers for a couple hours...
If you like it cold, be sure to check out The Ice Bar in the Venetian.
As Chris Knight said in the 1985 comedy Real Genius, "ICE IS NICE!"
