Vegas

Since my review will be slightly postponed due to illness. I thought I would recommend some great places that we ate at in Vegas.

Nobu at Hard Rock - okay, I have never had any interest in sushi. But, I was invited on someone else's reservation so, I was going to try it full force. Chopsticks and all, I really enjoyed it. It helped that I had good friends to help me along, but it was fun and the food was good.

La Salsa Cantina - There are 4 of these in Vegas, but we ate at the one across from New York New York, twice. Once for appetizers and yard long margaritas, they even mixed the flavors in my margarita for me - Raspberry Mango. It was tasty and I immediately took a nap after drinking about 75% of it. But, it was their breakfast menu that had me yearning to go back. So, on our last day in Vegas, we went back for breakfast. I absolutely love Huevos Rancheros, and you just cannot find those in Michigan. And, let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Ira and I finished everything on our plates - huevos rancheros, beans, and potatoes. Even, my tasty breakfast boody mary :-)

House of Blues at Mandalay Bay - The food here was okay. I throw this into the same category of Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood. You go to these places for the atmosphere, not so much for the food.

Rum Jungle at Mandalay Bay - After going to the evening dance club, I was surprised to find out that they serve food. And, OMG, do they serve food. There weere three of us and we all ordered the fire pit. Salad, plantains, beans, and...pork, turkey, salmon, chorizo, lamb, angus beef, chicken, and vegetables. The salmon tasted a bit too fishy for my taste, but everything else was fantastic. Not to mention the fabulous rum drinks that they serve, hence the name of the retaurant/bar.

I'm glad that you had fun in Vegas. You're brave. I have absolutely no desire to try sushi. I grew up in the country, and my food has to be cooked through!
