About to head to the airport after 5 nights at the Venetian. The Venetian/Palazzo is a fantastic hotel with plenty to see and do. Next time however I'd prefer to stay at either Caesar's or Bellagio.
Absinthe didn't disappoint.
Eataly is a neat place at Park MGM.
Battista Hole In The Wall is a hidden gem if you like Old Vegas Italian food.
Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington and Sticky Toffee Pudding were fantastic.
The Mob Museum and Zack Bagan's Haunted Museum were great. Make sure to hit the Underground Speakeasy bar at the Mob Museum.

As many times as I've been to Vegas, I've wanted to check this out.

Any more details?

It's about a 2 hour tour and it's guided. There are some neat exhibits including Jack Kevorkian's Death Van. You do have to sign some dumb waivers when you get there.

For what it’s worth when I went I stayed at the Bellagio and wished I had stayed at the Aria.

The Aria and Cosmo are really nice, I just didn't care for the vibe. And not sure how I missed it before, but there's a free Tram that connects the Bellagio-Aria-Park MGM.

Yep. Caesar's Palace is my favorite place to stay, but the Venetian does have nice rooms. All of the regular rooms are like mint suites.

I have been going to Battista's since the 1980s before all of the fancy restaurants with the celebrety chefs started popping up. Fun place.

I loved Battista's. The decor, free wine, and cappuccino was great.

My customary trip is to get there as early as possible on Thursday , stay four nights and fly back Monday.

Agreed. After 3, I'm either too tired or too broke.
