Las Vegas NASCAR 2012

 Pho at Treasure Island. It was good but I've had better
 These next 5 pictures are from Public House at the Venetian. Its quickly become one of our favorites. This is the Poutine. It consists of Fries, duck confit, cheese curds and gravy. Very, very good!
 These are by far the best fried oysters I've had. They are in foie gras with golder raisins and cider gastrique
 Foie Gras Parfait,and Jamon Serrano I wanted to try foie gras so this seemed like a good dish. It wasn't what i was expecting. The Foie just disappears in your mouth and has a slight cheesy flavor. I would get it again. The ham was good too.
How can you go wrong with raw oysters? Not as good as PJ Clarks but still tasty. 
 Roasted Bone Marrow with bacon marmalade. Kind of gross looking but really good. Fatty, beefy goodness.
 We had breakfast one morning at Morels at Palazzo with mom and dad. This was Dawns Banana and Marscapone stuffed french toast. Sure looks good. I had the Croque Madame. It was outstanding.
 Fondue at Max Brenner
 Dinner at Delmonico. One of the better meals we've had. My Rib Eye steak was outstanding but a little pricey ($64) Dawn had the Fillet and said it was good. For appetizers Dawn had Gumbo and i had Lobster Bisque. Both were good but i liked her gumbo more...it was killer.
 Another app we had....Escargot. I thought it was good but Dawn didn't care for it. The snails were a little on the big side for her.
 Nice views and unexpected sights in Vegas
 We ventured Downtown for the first time in along time. It was fun.
 Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki at our favorite Vegas restaurant..Swish. It takes a car to get to but is worth it. We make sure to eat here at least once every trip.
 Mom and Dad even tried out chopsticks.
 The race was fun as usual even tho Gordon didn't have the best race. Oh well, there's always next year.
You just can't beat Las Vegas for a quick trip...great eating, good drinking and enough to do to keep everyone happy. We stayed at the Venetian for the first time and i don't think we'll be staying anywhere else in the future. The rooms are unbelievable. Sunken living room, huge bathroom and 3 flat screens.
We hit up the oyster happy hour at PJ Clarks. Dollar oysters, can't beat that. Really good too. We will defiantly be going back(try Kusshi oysters if you ever get the chance). Had my favorite Thai soup while we were down there too. All in all a GREAT trip.

I agree. No place better for a quick trip than Vegas. I love the Public House too. It was a fun time!
