BJ's

No, despite its name and upside triangle logo, it is not a gay bar. It is, however, a very delicious chain restaurant and brewery out west. I wish we had them in NY. The fried artichoke heart appetizer is the best appetizer I have ever had. It is the perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside. We ate there 4 times between LA and Vegas because it was so good. They even have a gluten free menu.

Mini Pies

Cookies gave way to cupcakes. Cupcakes gave way to macaroons and now, as (e:hodown) said, macaroons are being moved over to make room for mini pies. How cute are those little lemon marengue ones.

Driscoll Progeny at a wedding

The wedding was beautiful. They were definately perfect for each other. In fact, the friends of both even quoted letters they had written about each other when they first met.

ramen madness

One thing I will really miss about this vacation is the unbelievable variety of restaurants. I can't wait for the noodle bar to open on elmwood.

At the ramen restaurant called Ebisu I got a ramen bowl with octopus, shrimp, pork, veggies, beef, and quail eggs. We also got edamame and vegetable tempura.

Artomat

What looks like an old style cigarette machine is actually an art vendomat. I think this is an awesome idea. More places should have these.

The Palms Ghostbar - I am hating clubs

I think I just don't like clubs. Its all about being fancy and sitting and posing. I would much rather be dancing. At the ghostbar at the palms they don't even have a dancefloor. Its basically a lounge with thumping dance music that you sit too. Except all the seats inside were reserved and we had to sit out in the cold.

Sarah got us on the list so entrance for her was free. (e:terry) and I paid $15 each. If I was a straight guy looking for chicks that paid $15-20 to get it I would have been so pissed because no one was there. The whole point of free lafies night is that it is like shooting fish in a barrel, right? Thats why guys pay cover.Then it was $48 for three vodka red bulls.

If they had dancing I might have felt different. The service was way over the top. Some Guy guided me to the bathroom and then the bathroom helper did some tricks spinning towels to me in the air. I really don't like interacting with bathrrom.staff

In fact I hate that they exist. But when they make it into some sort of sporty catch game I hate it even more. To make it worse I had no change, just a $20 and $100. Despite his bucket being pre decorated with $5 bills there was no way I was upping to $20 and I felt weird asking for change so he got nothing. The craziest part they have a Plexiglases floorhole where you can look down 50+ floors. Sadly it was all scratched up.

Afterwrads we headed to the playboy club. It was swanky, the bunnies were hot bit it was totally empty. We were the only people. Instead of dropping another $100 on drinks we headed home.

At least I got to wear.my ridiculous new yellow pants. $15 at the Levis store on black Friday.

Sterling Buffet

This was definately the most extravagant eating experience I have ever had. The food was over the top as well as the service. The meal was all you can eat oysters, caviar, champagne, lobster, crab, Lamb, fruits and desserts, charcuterie, filet, pork, chicken, sushi, etc. It was amazing.

At&t LTE

The mobile 3g internet speed in Las Vegas is so bad. I think it must just vr too many people on an overtaxed network. Its so bad, its unbelievable. In Buffalo I gdt around 2-4mbps, i. vegas I am often getting a fraction of a tenth of 1mbps like 0.08mbps. I mean its down right unusable in so many places. By the Rio I can't barely even get one bar and calls don't come through to our hotel room half the time. I tried to call (e:terry) in the room when I was outside and he didn't get the call for 45 minutes, after I came back.

Then last night we went to the AT&T store and the new Samsung Skyrocket has LTE. I took a picture of the speedtest results on the skyrocket with LTE vs the HSPDA data below captured at the same time on my galaxy sii.

Test Date: Nov 25, 2011 5:52:13 pm
Connection Type: Hspa
Server: Las Vegas, NV
Download: 0.08 Mbps
Upload: 0.10 Mbps

And here is the skyrocket on LTE.

Insert Coins

We went to a bar called Insert Coins in downtown Vegas. It had a combination of coin driven old school arcade games and a drink service with high end current games at fancy booths. We danced up a storm despite it not being my usual music.
