why
Girlfriend's birthday / 2yr anniversary. Plus an excuse to finally take a vacation and get my ass back to Vegas, I've wanted to go back for years (whereas my girlfriend has never been so I'm excited to blow her mind)

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

We're doing three nights at Wynn and two nights at Aria

Old one purged. Plus seven days sounds sexier than 15 days.

You may be projecting a little bit if you think I'm using the word "traveling" in any way other than its dictionary definition; of course we care about the virus. We will be following all recommended and required safety practices as guided by each particular establishment throughout the trip. You have every right to do the same and nobody should judge you so long as you also follow all required and recommended safety practices.

it's a bad idea. not so much stupid.
hopefully he enjoys his trip.

he'll be fine if he keeps the mask on at all times in public (he has to rely on everyone else to do so) since it offers no protection unless everyone does.

The food at the Aria is fantastic. Have fun and be safe!
Thanks! I've heard Aria's restaurants are indeed top notch.

Hardly. There are plenty of precautions and rules being enforced while still allowing us to have a good time!

Jeez, now that's some projection.

Like I understand you have history with women and I absolutely respect and understand the anguish you've been left with as a result. I would never rip anyone for going through what you did. But when you turn around and insult someone's partner like that, it makes it extremely difficult to continue to respect you and your issues. I do hope you one day decide to seek professional guidance for your past trauma instead of using it as a shield to flame women everywhere.

Yeah that's our thought process. The rules exist for a reason and we plan on abiding by all of them! We're looking forward to a fantastic trip. Little bummed to miss out on shows and buffets, but there are still plenty of opportunities for unique fun!

Uhh I'm a little confused; why would I go there if all I'm going to do is disobey their rules and get thrown out, thus robbing myself of the trip?

Can you elaborate on your concerns?

Fuck yeah fam!! Venetian shops are so fucking cool just to walk through. Have you been before? Got any recommendations for food or gambling? We don't necessarily have plans to go off-strip, but should we try fremont st?

Also let me know how the crowd is in terms of behavior. I keep hearing stories here and there of a shittier crowd being there as a result of the cheaper rates.

All the nightclubs are closed but we aren't night club people so that wasn't gonna happen anyways. We might check out some beach clubs though. It's just the two of us is the problem though so it's been hard to find any sections of the clubs that are worth it for just two people. A lot of the cabanas are like 6 people minimum.

Also let me know how the crowd is in terms of behavior. I keep hearing stories here and there of a shittier crowd being there as a result of the cheaper rates.

I go out a few times a year because I play poker somewhat seriously and work in the casino business so I end up out there for conferences or meetings. I haven't been since December though so it's kind of been a while.

Food is a tough question to answer because it comes down to what you like to eat and how much you want to spend. I am doing the anniversary dinner at the Mayfair supper club in the Bellagio because the wife will like it and it's a great spot for that type of meal. Lago is also great in the Bellagio. Venetian and Wynn have some great stuff too and you have so many options just in those two hotels depending on what you like. Pick a restaurant or two that you really want to go to and then play the rest of the trip by ear.

I have never gone to Fremont Street but have heard it's a good time and change of pace. We are also probably going to try that this trip. Like everything else in Vegas, the crowds will depend on the hotel/place you are at. The better the hotel the richer the guests.

Bro that's hilarious you name-drop those two restaurants; so I'm doing this pre-fix menu deal that includes brunch and dinner each of our two nights at Aria (then we're doing three at Wynn). Night 1 we're doing Prime Steakhouse as our own anniversary / her dinner meal. BUT night 2 has me pulling out my hair because I can't decide between Lago or Mayfair:

https://static.mgmresorts.com/content/dam/MGM/mgmresorts/menus/bellagio/mayfair/foodiefixe.pdf
https://static.mgmresorts.com/content/dam/MGM/mgmresorts/menus/bellagio/lago/foodiefixe.pdf

I keep hearing rave reviews about both... maybe Lago is the better choice instead of doing two steakhouses in a row, however I do see that the mayfair prefix menu at normal price is $68, whereas Lago is $55. So maybe we do Mayfair while it's "free" (through the package) and then swing back to Lago. I dunno.

As for the rest of the nights, I can always swing back to one of the options too. I definitely have a bunch of stuff jotted down to try (SW Steakhouse at wynn, Peppermill, Black Tap, Sushi Samba, Mon Ami Gabi or Eiffel Tower at Paris...many more), so swinging back definitely is an option. Either way, all food options and most budgets are on the table.

I did read MGM Grand was pretty rough.

Any "must-dos" or "must-sees" that we should visit/eat?

Lago is a little more casual but it has pretty small portions. It's a good place to go if you want to each pick some stuff to share and try.

Mayfair is more of a formal place where you sit down and have real courses for a meal.

If you like Asian food there is a good place right next to the poker room at the Wynn/Encore but I forget the name. Wynn also has the best breakfast buffet I have had out there.

Will check out the asian food; I read about a place called "Tao" asian bistro in the venetian that literally just reopened, so I think that's going to be a hit. Will try to find the Wynn place too.

Will investigate both -- is there one specific restaurant in the stratosphere that you recommend, or are there a bunch up there to try?
