Quote: MDawgWeather wise this is definitely one the best months to be in Vegas, along with say, March or April. The rest of the time, it often gets too hot or too cold and windy. No one moves to Las Vegas for the weather anyway.

Not true. Of course not the only reason, but some Buffalonians just want to never have to shovel snow again. Having seasons but no snow is a plus for some.
I agree on Vegas October/March/April weather. 90+% of my trips there have been in those months. I’ll be there in around 2-3 weeks. Usually the weather here has turned rainy/chilly. But we will be in the 80’s this week so I won’t be itching for Vegas (and Palm Springs) as much as I thought I’d be!
Quote: MDawgDoes anyone move to Buffalo for the weather?

I know of two people. One moved from near Calgary and he recounts days 30 degrees colder than the coldest we get in Buffalo.
The other moved from Cornerbrook Newfoundland and he says he had more snow in a week one winter than Buffalo gets in a year.
(They really moved for job opportunities)
I love the weather here May-September.

No, the pit boss will not hand you back your marker and allow you to even look at it, let alone rip it up, until it has been paid back.

90's sounds wonderful, it has been in the 80's here and I need to wear long sleeves outside.
One year we went to the parties at Treasure Island,
and Wynn.
Another year we went to Resorts World,
Venetian
and Wynn's parties.
Basically, if you consider something like T.I.'s affair along the lines of an assisted living party,
and Wynn's $8 - $10 million dollar affair as one of the biggest private New Year's Eve parties on earth, you get an idea. Of the hierarchy.
Quote: MDawgAs New Year's Eve approaches, a hierarchy of Vegas parties are planned. Assuming you even want to deal with the crowds and the cold weather, anyone who plays as much as I do has choices as to which party to attend.

Looking at the items on the menu you posted I guarantee they're going to give you enough food to satisfy a hummingbird. Teeny tiny portions spread out on really big plates for a huge amount of money. Drich would not be happy, not a hot dog or a tater tot to be found.
For example their appetizer plate was this
Venetian's event was for just thirty or so of their highest rollers at a private restaurant, and you could order anything on the menu in any quantities, including Hyogo Prefecture Kobe beef steaks with truffles or whatever else you wanted on top. I haven't had any red meat now in eight months but being at that event again might be enough of a draw to induce breaking the red meat fast.
Wynn food included these:
I assume that if you wanted a second plate, at least in the Wynn VIP section of the party, they would get it for you, but especially party hopping there was no way we could eat all that food.
Besides the food served at the tables by the waiters, Wynn's seafood station alone
which was self serve, unlimited, would fill up DRich I am sure. As long as he went back enough times. 🥳

Banker dominates for the whole shoe, it's a Baccarat players wet dream. Doing it quickly in my head I would have won about 18 units on that shoe because I don't start betting till they have at least 12 outcomes showing.

I'm pretty sure the only seafood he eats is Gorton's fish sticks with a side of tater tots.. No ketchup.

Nope, I eat lots of fish and shrimp. I had a really nice blackened Red Fish on Thursday. I like crab and scallops but don't eat them very often. Anyone who puts ketchup on anything is disgusting.
Why get particular about ketchup when you drown your food in salt? Speaking of which, here's some overseasoned popcorn for you.

Because ketchup is disgusting. So is mustard, mayo ,relish, etc. All condiments are gross. Nothing is better with condiments.

Yet the Heinz Family became millionaires just from selling ketchup. What were they thinking... Didn't they know that nobody likes condiments? Oh wait, everybody loves condiments, everybody. I have eight kinds of mustard in my cupboard and use it all the time. What's wrong with me.. One thing I don't use anymore is salt. Got rid of that almost a year ago
Mustard - three kinds, regular, hot Chinese and Jalapeno.
Mayonnaise, sure, sparingly. Tartar sauce too.
There is this Danish concoction called Remoulade which is a sort of mix of mayonnaise and a sort of tartar sauce. Fabulous on french fries. Now, the idea of mayonnaise on french fries sounds abhorrent, until you've tried it.
Even exotic stuff like Tahini with dark chocolate and sea salt, you'll find at our homes.
Kimchi - used to hate the mere idea of kimchi, but I started eating little bits, at the Wynn buffet actually, and now we have a couple jars of different kinds including less traditional types such as mixed with ginger, in the refrigerators.
DRich, so you eat a hot dog plain with just bread? Hamburgers, no ketchup? A hamburger is fine I suppose with no ketchup but I wouldn't want a just bread hot dog. In any case, I see a disparity between extolling salt and eschewing condiments....
I'm reasonably sure remoulade is French in origin. (Vaguely like thousand island dressing, but more tartar-saucey.)
I don't like excessive amounts of condiments.
The proper amount of ketchup (for me) is generally zero, although slightly higher for fried potatoes (any form) and - occasionally - scrambled eggs.
I've lost track of how many times I've stopped a "sandwich artist" from slathering on the sauce, but I distinctly remember one time I missed and the bottom of the sandwich bag had an inch of runoff by the time I got to it.
(Sorry, sandwich guy in Ohio. You may have meant well, but it is disgusting to have a sandwich bobbing in a lake of dressing.)
Sparingly is the watchword. A few drops of worcestershire, not a few buckets.

Yes, I don't use condiments on anything. A good hot dog or hamburger are great plain with just a bun. I do like cheese on my burger. If it is not a good dog or burger, why would I eat it? I want to taste the meat.
My lack of condiments is not for any health purposes, actually I don't do anything in my life for health purposes (hence the 25 or 26 operations I have had).

Well, actually...not until closer to the weekend. But, time passes quickly, especially in Vegas!
Hamburgers I almost always at least put ketchup on them.

I often make a condiment sauce like restaurants do. I mix ketchup with three kinds of mustard and mayo and dill relish and it can really make a burger or a hot dog stand out.

If I was going to care about that type of stuff, I would go with Dr. Squatch products, however I don't care therefore I'll just use whatever the cheapest crap is, or whatever nonsense my wife uses. I would never use hand lotion or moisture cream. I don't like feeling all dainty and soft. Perhaps I might use some Noxzima Cream if I had a bad sunburn.
But hey, you do you.
I pretty much look exactly the same as twenty years ago, if not better.
That stuff you mention is about on par with what convicts may buy inside prisons. There is quite a difference in how good skincare and bad skincare work, although there is a certain brand of wrinkle cream that Consumer Reports years ago (2006) ranked as the most effective of all the anti wrinkle creams they tested at that time: Olay Regenerist (Enhancing Lotion, Perfecting Cream and Daily Regenerating Serum), so, just as with a bottle of wine, the price isn't everything.
Look, just as with vitamins or supplements you can't take them for a few weeks and expect any benefits. Over the very long term, they might do something, just as proper skincare may do something for you. Over the long term.
