Las Vegas

This is somewhat massively out of order. So on Friday we went to Las Vegas. 5hr drive or so, long and empty drive, gets longer each time. First stop was the Las vegas outlet center! Not the ghetto one on the state line, but the good one in the actual city. I got some clothes at Banana Republic =) Stayed at the Venetian this time (beautiful hotel). For dinner we had reservations at Mix, which is this awesomely beautiful restaurant on the 64th floor of the Hotel at mandalay bay. It's white with fake bubbles hanging from the ceilings and you get this awesome view of the strip. For some reasons my pictures didn't come out, or at least they're not even on the camera. It's the type of place best committed to memory I guess. Any how that pic of us is us at dinner in the restaurant. And ya, it was expensive. I ate a squab. It's a free range organic pigeon. Tastes like duck, but concentrated.

Next day we checked out the new Wynn hotel. The pix of the chandelier and the restaurant door show off its beautiful decor. It's got a red and gold theme, with arabesque flowers painted on the ceilings. And they don't allow you in if you have a stroller (anti children).

For dinner we drove out of the strip to this really ghetto area...kinda of like Las vegas chinatown. We went to what was supposedly the best thai food restaurant around. Check out the huge grilled catfish we got! You should have seen the lookcs on everyone's face...they thought we were so awesome. And it was so spicy!

Saw 'O' at the bellagio...it takes place in a pool. The stage is just a giant pool. Lotsa diving, somewhat uninspired compared to the other cirque du soleil shows. We also tried to get into the two hottest nightclubs in town (mostly for celebrity spotting), but the lines were too long =| And now I'm back here....
