Mirage PPT and our trip to the Wynn
I played in the PPT at the Mirage the other day, and got knocked out by Vinny Vin.
Natalie and I went over to the Mirage yesterday at about 10 pm to check out the action. We watched two tables play some of the tightest poker I have seen in a while. I was actually more interested in the basketball game to see if my second half bet would pay off. We got some Pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen and some chocolate cheesecake at the Carnegie Deli. Then we went back to check out the action some more. Nothing major had happened After signing a few autographs, we decided to go check out the Wynn since we were in the neighborhood.
The Wynn was nice, but we were expecting something really inovative. Steve Wynn wowed Las Vegas when he did the Mirage, and changed the way casinos are designed with the Bellagio. I think he did just about everything that could be done between those two casinos. It was really nice at the Wynn, just too much like the Bellagio. The casino used more red and had a little asian look to it; there is a Ferrari Masarati dealership on the property; but other than that, it was very similar to Bellagio. There is a mall with two "underground" restaurants nearby. There is a bar that overlooks the water feature and a snack bar near the sportsbook and poker room.
We went downstairs to the bar called Parasol Down and watched the water show. I'll tell you a little about it without giving it all away. It was a big white wall with water runnning down it at the far end of a pond. A projector put images up on it while things popped up from behind and in front of the wall. We hadn't seen anything like it.
After the show, we checked out the poker room. Marcel Luske, Casey Kastle, Jim Miller, and Lou Asmos were there. The room is pretty large and has plush furnishings. About 2 or 3 am we decided it was time to go home.
