I know it seems like it’s getting to be a habit – but, with our downtown plan abandoned, we decide to walk back to The Wynn. I text Malv that we are heading that way, hoping that she will find us….
(I’m still oblivious to the fact that my texts are circumnavigating the globe and taking hours to arrive…)
By now, hunger has kicked in and the Wynn’s ZoozaCrackers Deli looks inviting…
Adhering to my philosophy of ‘when in America, sample the cuisine’ - I order a Chicken Caesar Salad.
Meanwhile, E is attracted by a taste of ‘home’ ...and orders Fish and Chips.
Now, a lot of the time, I regard food as fuel – while E is alot more picky about what he eats (readers of my last TR won’t be surprised to hear he’d brought his oatcakes with him again this year) - but I have to say both dishes were absolutely delicious with wonderfully fresh ingredients.
With a couple of beers and coffees, the bill came to around $20 each - and we both felt this was one of the best meals we’d had this trip. If you think the Wynn is going to be pricey …I urge you to go check out this Deli. Fantastic food – fantastic value. Absolutely delicious.
Stomachs satisfied, we plunge into the casino with anticipation. But …lady luck was not favouring us that night….
Maybe Steve Wynn had E’s card marked.
Or, maybe, because we were still Malv-less. (After all, she’d been our Wynn lucky charm) ..
None of our favourites were paying out. The 3 Pandas were in hibernation, the Wild Waves just a ripple, and the Coyotes turned their back on the Moon and merely yapped abit…..
…and there was still no sign of Malv..…
After a couple of hours we decided to play back at The Mirage – but once again we were chasing our dollars. Even Dean Martin wasn’t in a generous mood. We ended up cursing the old crooner that night - a sacrilege I know! But he was obviously after our $$ for a Rat Pack Party of his own - and we weren’t invited!)
So around midnight we threw in the towel and called it a night. I was still worrying about Malv as I climbed into bed …... when the phone rang….
Malv! Thank goodness....…we unravelled the escalator confusion –and figured out that my texts had been arriving way behind our movements… so she had been one step behind us all the way…..
I was just relieved she was ok.
The next day she was flying home to Ohio so we arranged to meet once more to say our goodbyes…
Coming Up Next …… A Goodbye, A Hello …and A Vegas Legend !
