2/11. Easy flight out of burbank to las Vegas. Not a full flight so we had the middle seat not sat in. Arrived in Vegas around 230pm sat and had pre-arranged a limo to Monte Carlo. All worked out well. Checked in and had a Monaco suited on the 30tg floor. Had no problems with smelly towels as others reported. Room was really large with 1.5 baths, a comfy couch, refrigerator, big bed etc. I like to stay at 5* hotels and this one felt pretty close. Super clean, no tears all nice. Got settled and gambled downstairs a little. I liked casino not too big or small and had a great mix of games. My boss had prepaid for us to have dinner at prime in bellagio and the only reservation he could get was 530 so we got ready and headed out. It was super close and easy to catch free tram to bellagio. At prime we had a fountain view seat. The food was good, not spectacular, the server was condescending, but I guess we were paying for view too.
Next we headed to meet friends at dueling piano bar at nyny. We took tram back and then walked next door into nyny. I used to go to piano bar all the time, wife and I are early 30's but this time it seemed super loud. We lasted with our friends for about 1.5 hours and decided to move on. Wife played happy days penny slots at nyny and I played some table games.
Our friends were staying at Luxor so we decided to hop to Excalibur and then Luxor to gamble. Not my type of places. By this time it was close to 3am and my wife and I trekked back to our room and crashed.
Day 2 to follow with Qua, joes stone crab and hotel 32. Please excuse grammar and spelling as using my iPhone
