Just got back from Vegas yesterday, sorry we could not meet up. We managed to hit Frankie's, the Pinball Hall of Fame, the Charleston Antique Mall (thanks for the cool cocktail glasses Lee), the Attic (vintage store), several downtown bars since we were staying at the Golden Nugget (best of which were Sidebar and Downtown). On the strip we hit Rhumbar at the Mirage - very drinkable Mai Tai and other cocktails in a great outdoor setting. We wandered around City Center (wow), had the Sterling Brunch at Ballys (WOW) and saw Barry at the Paris (yeah, I know). We also stumbled across "First Friday" which I recommend as an addition to this thread. Several galleries open up and random artists turn out on the first Friday of each month for a big block party about half way between the Strip and Downtown - food for sale, vendors, bands, just a great local scene pretty much unknown to tourists. EDIT - oh yeah...Harvey Wallbangers at the Peppermill, rum punches at sunset on the outdoor rooftop terrace at the Rio VooDoo lounge, old fashioneds at Napoleons, buckets of beer at the Cabo Wabo formerly known as TVLV...............must sleep. I'm not an alcoholic, I'm an enthusiast. [ Edited by: leisure master 2010-05-11 14:24 ]
