You can thank me now for not including my entire trip in yesterday’s post. That would be have been way too long. But I know you all want to hear about the rest of my stay in Vegas so here you go!
On Night #3, we remained at Mandalay Bay after the show for drinks at Red Square with one of our customers. Ahh, we were waiting for these martinis ALL DAY LONG. I had taken a look at the menu earlier so I could get a feel for what Russian cuisine is, since after all, it is my heritage. There were some things that sounded very good, but it was too noisy for a sit-down meal. Instead, we headed over to Border Grill, a gourmet Mexican restaurant by Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susen Feniger of Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales” and Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters,” respectively. Their guacamole and chips were on point, and of course, so was my cadillac margarita. I got the market vegetable quesadilla with roasted poblanos, mushrooms, grilled corn, chipotle and manchego, panela and cojita cheeses. Hmmm…I love good Mexican food! After dinner, there were still a few places I wanted to check out, so Amy and I walked around a bit more. We ended up at an Irish Pub in New York New York. That was a cool place, made up to look like the streets of downtown NYC with cobblestones and everything.

Vegas has some pretty highly regarded restaurants and I only got to try a tiny fraction. I can’t wait to go back and see more of the city; I assume every time you go you find new things to do and never need to repeat the same thing twice. For a totally last minute trip, it was 100% enjoyable.
Have you been? Tell me about the restaurants, food, shows, etc you experienced while you were there!
