This Week’s MtM Vegas
This week I debriefed my recent stay at NoMad Hotel including why I think it is surprisingly good and how it compares to some of the other luxury hotel offerings in Vegas. I was also able to check out the New York New York Roller Coaster on its first day back with new trains and wow do they make a difference!

We’ve been to Frankie’s Tiki Room (Sharon’s big into Tiki mugs) and it’s a dive. Place was packed when we went (pre-COVID) and there was little parking to be found. Spent about 20 minutes sipping on a barely drinkable Tiki concoction before our Spidey senses went off that a fight was imminent so we got out of there. Might have been just a bad night but not somewhere on the list for a repeat visit.
For what it is worth I like the Caesars program overall better than MGM. Diamond Plus w Caesars which comes w a lot of benefits, offers and no resort fees. I am also Gold w M Life and basically get nothing besides a bonus on points earned. Love Aria and Bellagio (IMHO no Caesars properties compare) but just based on programs and value I get will focus my gambling w Caesars.
As for dive bars my favorites are Frankie’s Tiki Bar and the Double Down Saloon.
I agree that MGM properties are better than CET ones when it comes to the quality of the rooms and internet. Service-wise, I like the FD agents at Caesar’s Diamond check-in and would rate them higher than the FD agents at Aria/Aria SkySuites/Bellagio/Vdara.
Cosmo and V/P have great rooms too but it has been a while since I stayed at those properties. Never been to the Wynn yet but looking forward to the new Resorts World when it opens.
