Doesn’t look like much right now, but it smells good. Into the cupboard it goes to sit for two weeks, with an occasional shake!

Was surprised to find my room has a balcony, complete with sofa and chair and side tables — first time I’ve had that during a stay in Vegas. Pretty awesome view from 52nd floor of the Cosmo facing south.
