Vegas Food Diary 2014

On this particular trip to Vegas, our eating destinations were pretty low key. No steak houses or fancy buffets. We mostly ate at "home" (the Cal), using our Vacations Hawaii food vouchers, and coffee shops or fast food places while were were out. It wasn't really planned, but we sure ate a lot of burgers. Not complaining though. They were good burgers!

Late night pizza from Piccadilly Pizza on Fremont Street. The Hubz
thought the crust was too doughy, but I thought it was good.

Country Fried Chicken for breakfast at Du-par's at Golden Gate.

Pastries and pies from Du-par's. 

Look at the size of these cinnamon rolls!

Oxtail chili cheese fries from Bachi Burger. So GOOD!

Caesar chicken salad.

Black and Green Burger -- American wagyu beef, sauteed mushrooms,
bacon, point reyes blue cheese, spinach, roasted garlic

Crusty Crab -- crab cake, mango chutney, remoulade, tomato,
avocado, crispy onion rings

Ronin Burger -- Caramelized onions, Japanese cole slaw, miso goma
dressing, fried egg, katsu BBQ, yuzu citrus aioli

My Black & Green cut in half.

Back at the Cal -- steak . . .

. . . and Oriental saimin. . .

. . . and country fried steak . . . 

. . . and a loco moco, eggs scrambled well.

Double double animal style for the Hubz and a
cheeseburger for me from In-N-Out.

Grinding in the car. So simple. So good.

We found the secret pizza place at the
Cosmopolitan. So good!

Late night noms -- chili and rice and saimin.

Like In-N-Out, Krispy Kreme is a must-eat in Vegas!

More late night snacks. Not as good as Bachi
Burger, but it will do.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries. A regular includes two
patties! I got the Little, which was still quite big!

All-you-can-eat peanuts at Five Guys.

I'm told these are the latest omiyage to bring home.
Mini bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes. 

Yummy!

Vegas Trip Diary - 2014

Another trip to Vegas completed. The weather was scorching hot the first two days, with temperatures reaching 104 degrees. But on our second night, it cooled down to about 90, with lightning brighting up the sky. After that, it remained steady at this temperature. For a moment, I thought I was still in Hawaii.

It was a super fun trip. Here's how it unfolded. But stay tuned. More posts to come about the food we ate and the things we did!

 Fremont Street Experience show. 

Unfortunately, the daily tummy rubs did not bring me luck.

The SlotZilla zip line. I did not do this.

I debated though. Maybe next time. Maybe.

Formerly Lady Luck, Downtown Grand is the newest casino on the block.

Outside the Grand is a quaint street.
Once all the businesses moves in, it's going to be bustling!

At the end of the street is the Mob Museum.

I thought these were cool. I accumulated a lot
of change.

The Iron Man machine was very good to me the first night.
Not so much the rest of the trip. Damn you, Tony Stark!

Flowers at the Bellagio.

"Live" painting. Everything is a real plant.

This was cool.
The koi pond had a camera in it, transmitting live video to this "painting."

Birds feeding.

This will have to do until I can get to Paris.

Cascading waterfall at Wynn.

Wasn't invited to this event at the Venetian.

Venetian foliage.

This was the event I wasn't invited to.
I guess ping pong is big?

Bye-bye pirates! Retail space under construction at TI.

Floral horses at the Wynn.

Pretty arrangements at Wynn.

This is what $1 million looks like. All mine!

Pool scene at Red Rock.

Giant keyboard at the Cal.

Aria lit up at night.

At the new Poloroid Bar at Linq.  You can turn your
digital pictures into Poloroids for $1 each.

Looks like something caught our attention!

The new Linq ferris wheel.
It was shut down for a while due to lightning.

The erupting volcano at the Mirage.
