The Venetian
First visit: Mar 2023
The next evening they had carved out a half block of places to eat and party at. I probably should have planned my meal better this night, though I was eating at about 30% capacity since I couldn't get my morning run in (not an option at these resorts). My dinner ended up being finger food at the Brooklyn Bowl. I didn't feel that was the appropriate setup for an RJG review. Good times though. Bowled one game, and enjoyed two local craft beers (harder to find than you would think!) with nice conversation, and there was a local cover band too.
On Thursday, the conference ends in the late afternoon and I had a late flight back to the Springs. We're fortunate to have a direct flight late like that, even though I wasn't home until 1:30 in the morning. There were no planned dinners, and I already knew from last year when Mrs. RJG and I attended one of our Official Niece's wedding, there's not a lot of options at the airport. I didn't want anything heavy (again going at 30% of capacity), so I just hit the "food court" and took a chance on one slice at Bonnano's. Guessing it's named after the famous mobster.
In looking at the selection, it didn't appear they had the freshest pizzas, even though of course they were going to reheat it. I just went for one cheese slice. Not bad. Not great. I'm not sure why the professionalism we experienced at the resort's proper restaurants doesn't filter down to the fast food options. It's clear the workers didn't care and they hated their jobs and wanted to be anywhere else but there. They did the needful. Oh well. I do want to try it again in perhaps a better setting. From here I went to Louis Vuitton to buy my beautiful wife a purse (gosh they're expensive) and then headed to the airport and had a couple of craft beers before taking the late flight. A great experience overall, but exhausting. I wish the meals were better and more personal, but I also understand that it's tough to feed large crowds like this. They did a great job all things considered.
Bonanno's has 9 locations in Las Vegas, most of them on the Strip residing inside the resorts.
