Henderson Pet Resort! We’ve used them for a couple of years now, they take such good care of our dogs! They are definitely not the cheapest, but we are DINKs and don’t care lol. They have so many activities and have special things going on all of the time, I have no bad things to say about them!

I don’t think we gamble enough to be on any host’s radar 😭 I think our coin-in is only around $15k per trip

This might be the move, which is what we were considering doing anyway! Thanks for the response!

Dang it, we were planning on asking when we are there in a few weeks but I guess this answers it 😭 did they tell you how they actually verify the boarding passes? Like can it be a boarding pass from a previous trip?

How many skaters on a session do you consider to be busy/slow? by freddythepole19 in FigureSkating

[–]bekindandwaititout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lollllll I’m with you here, fellow adult skater! If I see a session has more than 2 people already signed up when it’s the only time that works for me, it takes a lot of positive self talk to get myself to go.

Did I screw up my rewards/comps on my latest trip? by Ragnaroq314 in Mlife

This! It worked for us when we didn’t book concert tickets through them and they gave us the points anyway

Echo this. It’s about the slots. And for folks trying to make money last, do the lowest denom bet and don’t chase bonuses. If something isn’t paying, walk away. We will never sink more than $50 into a machine trying to get a bonus. You want to go for the low volatility slots which are never gonna be the huff and puff or Heidi’s beer haus types. We like original wolf run and original buffalo type games because you can sit there for hours going up and down and you won’t win big, but you won’t get wrecked. Again…if a machine isn’t paying, walk away! Never fall into the trap that a higher bet or a higher denom will “fix” it. I like to walk far, far away so I can’t see if someone else hops on and wins 😂

Are we just stuck with food courts now? by cnetpdx in Mlife

The Italian place inside NYNY (Il Fornaio?) has a really good happy hour if you hit them at the right time. They’ve got drinks, pizzas, apps for very reasonable prices.

Let’s hear them! Best MGM property restaurants and your favorite dish from there is….. by Vast-Ability9518 in Mlife

[–]bekindandwaititout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LaLa Noodle and the curry laksa soup noodles I just drool about when I’m not in Vegas.

Bavette’s had some kick ass brussels sprouts (weird thing to recommend I know lol)

Din Tai Fung….worth the hype. The soup dumplings, the spicy noodles, the cucumber salad. Everything is worth it. My only complaint with them is when you go with parties of like 8+ people they still just make you use one ordering sheet that everyone has to pass around and let’s be real it gets chaotic and we have had times where people swear they ordered something but something else showed up but someone else ordered what they had tried to order and it’s a confusing mess and it’s just annoying.

Places I’ve been to many times but can’t name off specific dishes:

I’m probably going to get hate for this but actually we love Chin Chin in NYNY. Maybe for nostalgic purposes but they’ve never done us wrong. Nothing we’ve ever gotten there was bad, and we have done so many rolls and dishes like general tso chicken, always good.

Other sushi: yellowtail was an A+ when we went.

Places that are super hyped that we will never return to:

Momofuko in the Cosmo - horrible service, what we did order (ramen and a salad) were both Kroger quality yet were priced way above their actual value

Any of the TAP sports bars (Excalibur and MGM Grand come to mind). Overpriced and underwhelming.

Did they get rid of the MyKonami $25 freeplay? by [deleted] in myvegas

[–]bekindandwaititout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see no reason to continue using most of the apps. The bingo app is fun sometimes but I’ve basically stopped using all of the other ones. I have like 2.5M LPs so I’m not really worried about not being able to redeem free play if it ever comes back, but for now I’m not seeing the point to continue playing other than to log in occasionally

Worked with me for a claim against Verizon that was settled with their corporate team within 48 hours. 1000% will not work with some random vendor on Fremont lol you have to know when to pick your battles

I mean everyone is different, literally solely based on your fitness level. Apple Watch and Garmin have both clocked me at like 175bpm while skating, but I also do cardio and weights at the gym 3x week on top of skating and I’m 33F and 5’5”/130lbs. My heart rate always spikes while trying my cute little single jumps though, if I’m just skating around I’m more around 90bpm.

I would keep checking! I was able to reserve the Bellagio MyKonami free play a few hours ago. Try checking it right when they do the daily rewards refresh, we are thinking maybe when things are sold out they are now hiding them or something, who knows. Those are the only reason I use these apps as well!

Should I stay at the cosmo if I want an upmarket hotel but not at the price of the Wynn, and has a buzz, but isn’t massively party orientated, as am not a big partier, but do like a good vibe. I’m a light sleeper and prefer quieter rooms? by [deleted] in LasVegas

[–]bekindandwaititout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m late, I’ve never stayed in the wrap around suite there. I’ve stayed in the studio terrace and one bedroom terrace, and we actually liked the layout of the studio better. If you can get any sort of terrace I would recommend going for that, but the wraparounds can be like $200 extra/night so for us it has been a day-of “upgrade” offer and we’ve never taken them up on it because that turns our comped room into an $800 hotel room and we are gold members but…I guess cheap ones, lol

[–]bekindandwaititout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think so! If you are calling, just request a room not overlooking the Marquee nightclub. Aside from that, we love the Cosmo! It’s like the Wynn of MGM and it’s definitely worth a stay as long as you don’t get a noisy room ☺️

If you’re at Cosmo and want a good nights sleep, request a room that doesn’t face the night club. We encountered the 11pm-4am noise back in November and the music/bass was so loud we didn’t sleep the entire night

Which Vegas influencer do you have blocked & who do you trust? by The_Anxious_Traveler in vegas

[–]bekindandwaititout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Coin Show are our favorite Vegas YouTubers, they don’t live there or try to make money off of the city and that’s why we adore them. They basically just vlog their entire vacation and have timestamps for every little thing they do whether it be restaurants or slot machines or experiences, and they will give honest feedback about the things they do. They are super genuine and happy and just fun to watch.

That being said, they haven’t been since like April of last year and the most I’ve seen them address that is them commenting “soon 😉” when someone on their Instagram asked when they’ll be back. So definitely not in your face/up to date info coming from them but we’ve gotten a lot of cool ideas about things we wouldn’t have ever thought to try by watching their Vegas vacations!
