[@1takesituation]

Any other eatery on the Strip that serves a Ribeye 24oz Prime Grade steak for less than $80? Please share if you know of one

[@lisajohnson8589]

You slipped in Prince’s “Head”. I instantly subscribed, lol! You’re a real one for that. Love your reviews, humor.

[@1takesituation]

Aah, you caught it! Lol I sometimes wonder if anyone even hears these quick inserts. Thank you for watching and sharing your take! Big appreciation for the subscribe!

[@seankimura6289]

Another great video

[@1takesituation]

Thank you for watching! I was pleasantly surprised on how great Amalfi turned out - didn’t expect it from Bobby. Now it makes me curious about Bobby’s Burger

[@socal_gambler]

Great review, I have heard good things about Amalfi. I have 400 bucks in comps just collecting dust. Might take the family there when I go back in Dec!

[@1takesituation]

What’s up SoCal!? Thank you for watching. I think I remember you telling me that you’re not much of a seafood person but though it presents itself as seafood forward, it isn’t too crazy. It’s not cheap cheap but you can get value out of it, especially since you’ve got $400 comps collecting dust lol I might also head there in December during the 5X promo days

[@socal_gambler]

@@1takesituation I forget what those 5x days are, but I already hit my goal for next year so I gotta spend some $$$$$ at MGM, Wynn & Venitian. I'll be there 17th through i think 23. Shorter trip this time. Hit me up if you there during that time.

[@1takesituation]

@@socal_gambler - what do you think? Is Diamond Plus enough since it’s when 4 daily drink tickets is granted? Where’s the sweet spot for Caesars rewards tier? Cause with MGM, I think it’s the Gold tier now…not Platinum necessary.

[@socal_gambler]

@@1takesituation Diamond + is the sweet spot. Anything above that doesnt matter in my opinion. Unless you are going to the Bahamas for the free nights. But you gamble enough that I think the host can hook it up. For MGM, I think you are right. I dont see any real tangible benefits of platinum. I mean at the end of the day, if you gamble enough, your offers usually reflect it. Although I will tell you, my play hasnt really changed but my offers are worse. I have to pay 30 bucks a night for my Corner Suite at Aria in december. Lol

[@1takesituation]

@@socal_gambler$30 Aria Corner Suite is pretty generous these days from the feedback I’ve been hearing. Lol I didn’t know about the Caesars daily drink tickets until you showed me and didn’t realize that they could be used at various restaurant bars, not just the casino bar. I enjoy a few drinks here and there while gambling so the tickets don’t mean thaaat much but it’s something that’s tangible and different from MGM, though I think MGM is more transparent with their upfront comp offers. It doesn’t seem like Caesars provide as much upfront but ultimately will get to the same neighbor with the backend comps. Let’s down a few if I end up in Vegas the same week as you.

[@Jono2002]

Great background information again on both the origin of the restaurant and the chef too. Now I want to avoid him too after that cockiness haha. I'm impressed you edit on your phone! Everything looks yummy. Maybe they were just trying to get rid of that dish like how you got that fast ragu at Martha Stewarts haha. I love that you told everyone not to go to Martha Stewarts but still watch your video on it to make sure haha.

[@1takesituation]

Hello Jono - Thank you for watching. Maybe I was a lil too shameless with the plug to watch my Bedford video. Lol I’m glad I got to try the green bean dish…hopefully my subconscious judgement of Amalfi was not influenced by the comp’ed dish. I guess my next food video gotta be of Giada since she’s buddies with Bobby?

[@Jono2002]

@@1takesituation I think it was more your disappointment in Martha Stewarts place that made you enjoy this place so much. I look forward to more background, pics and videos of Giada for that future video haha.

[@1takesituation]

Ok lol coming right up!

[@alexanderloper4742]

Maybe they thought I was Pompsiiie 😂

[@1takesituation]

I don’t see any other viable reason why they’d hook me up with that green bean dish lol

[@jimklemens5018]

Standing on the cutting board was a dick move.

[@1takesituation]

I agree. He ended up losing at the end lol Raise the roof!

[@christinejensen5735]

I don't like Bobby Flay so would not go into any of his eateries. Found your videos through Danny the Medics 10 K special video.

[@1takesituation]

Hello Christine! Oh, I haven’t had a chance to check out DtM’s 10k special video yet, but it feels cool that somehow you ended up here from his video - thank you for visiting and dropping a note, and a shout out to DtM! My first impression of Bobby Flay was over 20 years ago from the Iron Chef show, and he came off as someone that didn’t draw me into his restaurants. I don’t have anything against him on any level, but I was never motivated to frequent any of his restaurants. I tried Amalfi cause my options were limited at the time…But I’m happy that I tried because it ended up being an awesome dining experience. Thank you again for dropping by! Hopefully you check out some of my other non-Bobby videos.

[@daveplaysslots4518]

I cannot trust Bobby after his atrocious burger restaurant at Caesar's food court.

[@1takesituation]

I’ve never tried Bobby’s Burger but I might have to give it a try just to try. Do you have a Vegas burger spot suggestion?

[@socal_gambler]

Bobbys Burgers, I agree it's one of the worst I have had. I much prefer Posh Burger In Aria.

[@1takesituation]

@@socal_gambler - so Posh Burger is your favorite Vegas mid-tier Burger spot?
