Just came back. Our first trip with our daughter.  Only gambled 10% of what I normally do hours wise due to our daughter with us. I don't like the idea of leaving her with my wife while I play. 

So my gambling was when she fell asleep at night to the early AM and witch with Mrs. CMO. The 1st night, Mrs. CMO didn't want to play as she was tired, so I played from 2am-630am. Went back to the room and slept till 10am when our daughter woke up.  So the entire trip, I sacrificed sleep for gaming.

Compare this to "old Vegas" when it was just Mrs. CMO and me. Catch the red eye so we dont' miss an entire day. Land at 7am and go eat and check in later around 12pm. Take a 4-5 hour nap since we didn't sleep on the plane.  Then wake up at like 5pm and have the rest of the night to play. Didn't get to nap this time due to our daughter with us. So lots of coffee.

Casinos still wasn't precovid busy. But Venetian gaming floor was just as busy as normal, even precovid days.

The reason why I didn't want to leave her with Mrs.CMO and I go play is becuase she's very active.  Running and touching eveything.  Plus enjoying the sounds and lights of the slots. So maybe when she gets older and knows how to not run off, we would go back with her. Then I prob could break away to play or vice versa and Mrs. CMO goes to play.

We will own nothing.  "They" will own everything.

And you WILL be happy......

I'm hoping Fertitta treates Caesars properties like how he does Stations.  Take care of your customer.  We were at Caesars last Thanksgiving to try Beijing Noodle No.9. The food sucked. THe slots were empty and I was the only one at the craps table at 3pm. Had maybe 2-3 on the BJ table. $25 mins. More people walking through than actually playing. Compare this to Venetian at the same hour is at least 3/4 full of gamblers on tables and 1/2 full on slots.

Harrahs is 1/2 full tables and slots about 1/3 full at the same hour.

They also redid their tier levels and not for the better. Their credit card is lame, free parkign for the 1st year only, compared to MGM Rewards credit card, you get free yearly parking by spending much less.

Rumor has it People Inc (The magazine) is looking to buy MGM.

So this all comes down to the gaming reports by the casinos are being padded. You don't buy a company when they're doing well, as you have to pay top dollar.
