Because there are only so many farmer's markets and organic produce stores in the the city to cover in one simple neighborhood blog, I decided to skip town for a good week and blog about something other than D.C. This past week I visited the fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas is a pretty cool city at times, but the ratio of old 80 year old white women and obese families in jorts and fanny packs compared to regular people can really mess with you. I took some pics below of my hotel room overlooking the strip.
What I did : I checked out Fremont Street which is in downtown Vegas and home to some of the oldest casinos in Vegas . I was amazed at the amount of Mullets and drunks dads carrying around kids with black eyes in one localized area. Even though its pretty much white trash central its awesome and there are some pretty cool sights to see .
I spent a whole day at the Hoover dam which was pretty interesting. I have never experienced being amazed as well as bored as a singular emotion but trust me you'll know what I mean after about 30 minutes here. I made a lot of Chevy Chase jokes but sadly they too got very old very fast.
What I Ate: Vegas has some of the best restaurants in the world and I made it a point ease up on the buffet and visit a couple of restaurants. I really wanted to check out Michael Mina's Nob Hill but ended up settling for Michael White's Fiamma and Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. I'll come out and say that both places were absolutely delicious although I picked dishes that were hard to really mess up.My steak at Flay's: A chipotle glazed rib eye with red and green chili sauce
Chili Relleno
Tiger Shrimp Tamale
My Raviolini at Fiamma
and the Kobe Beef Risotto cakes
