  • Great trip report StuieUK34, I enjoyed reading it.

    We stayed in MC for the first time on our trip. I like the casino, and really wanted to love staying there, but we hated it :
    1) Very worn and outdated. The bathroom was especially bad.
    2) Walls are paper thin so you can hear everything. This resulted in 2 terrible nights sleep.

    Without focusing on a negative, how did you find some of the ‘20 something American party people’? Twice we were in MGM when Hakkasan was on, and had to leave because they were so annoying - “lets get drunk”, “lets get weird” etc. They also got under my skin on a Saturday morning having breakfast in Aria, with their constant chat about the night before whilst wearing sunglasses and hats.

    great trip report, Stuie - some excellent wins, how exciting! And you do manage to get some impressive upgrades, you do. :)

    I think the first picture is Stripburger but agree it confused me a bit as I didn't see it mentioned so maybe not.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
