Doesn't seem like a close calendar connection. Are you proposing there should be one?

As for places to stay my personal fav is VDara. It's smack dab in the middle of Bellagio, Cosmo and Aria. Each one can be walked to in less than 4 min. But it's non gaming so you can get away from that easily at any time. No restaurants but there's a lobby bar and a convenience store. There's also a Starbucks but it was often closed last time I was there so not sure what's up with that.

You're just so close to everything staying at Vdara and getting to Griff's is a breeze as well maybe 10 min drive if that without even touching the strip which can be a nightmare traffic wise.

If I didn't stay at Vdara I'd stay at Park/NoMad. Non smoking property with several great restaurants under one roof.

Everything is expensive. Yes, many places will be cheaper. Especially downtown but if you're going, do it right.

I also have a soft spot for Venetian/Palazzo as that's where my wife and I got married. Love the property and staff there is generally great.

I used to love staying at the Vdara when I went to LV for work in the 2012-2016 range. It was one of the only non-smoking venues on the Strip, low prices post-recession and the rescue of City Center, beautiful rooms and views. Presumably the prices are no longer low.

90 deg cut shot

The frozen to the rail shot is not a cut shot, its a kick shot. Any C player can make the shot in Bob's rail first video. I used to make it all the time when I was 19 and half the speed I am now. It can be made at way more a severe angle.

If the angle is harder, you need used cloth to get the side spin to take well. The standard shot has the cue ball on the head spot. Mizerak used to shoot it with the CB up on the name plate.
