Summer Fun in Las Vegas

 Our favorite slot machine. Looks like we have a spin coming.

 Japanese hot pot at Swish...a tradition. I think Dawn's mom even enjoyed it

 Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan. Great pizza that's very hard to find without directions. Loved the pizza didn't care for the casino.

 Eggs Benedict at Mon Ami Gabi. My Dad finally got me to try this restaurant and now i see why they walk down for breakfast often. Good food and great atmosphere.

 Another good meal at Public house. These are the Crispy Frog Legs. This was my first time for frog legs. Tasted basically like small chicken wings. The way they were cooked and the sauce are what made this dish.

 More Public House pics. At the top is Grilled Octopus. It was good. Tender with a slightly charred flavor .Below that is an order of Poutine...best fries ever! On the bottom is a chicken sandwich on a pretzel roll. It was quite tasty altho i thought the chicken was a bit on the dry side.

 Checking out at the Palazzo...leaving always sucks

 Between the Venetian and Palazzo

 Dinner at Aquaknox. One of, if not the best meal I've ever had. Amazing food. Above is the lobster bisque. Probably the best soup I've tasted. It was rich and creamy with a great lobster flavor with chunks of Maine lobster, caviar and crem fraiche.

 Dawn and her mom enjoying a fabulous meal.

 Dawn and Carol tried the surf and turf. It was half a crab stuffed Maine lobster and a prime filet on potato puree with madeira mustard reduction. She said it was the best steak she's ever had and after the bite i had, i would have to agree. Melt in your mouth goodness.

 I had Chef Moloney's Fish Soup. It had Maine lobster, John Dory, mussels, clams, prawns and couscous in a tomato-saffron broth. Everything was so tender and flavorful. You can defiantly tell when you're dealing with fresh seafood. Aquaknox has all theirs flown in daily.

 Seafood Trio appetizer. It was lobster, shrimp and crab. Good stuff.

We took the kids to Max Brenner for some fondue and chocolate syringes. They liked roasting the marshmallows and dipping in chocolate. I had a pizza that was surprisingly good. Dawn had a sundae and her mom a banana waffle thing.

Another trip to vegas in in the books. This time we drove down with Dawns mom and met my parents down there. The Palazzo and Rio were our hotels. Rio was nice but kind of out of the way. Palazzo was great. Huge rooms just like the Venetian. We crammed allot into this trip. Lots of good eats, shopping, swimming, gambling and just wondering around. We even managed to get desert from Delmonico. I thought the banana cream pie was my fav but i think his pecan pie has taken over that spot.  Whole Foods was fun to check out. I even managed to get some cheese home. No easy task with the temps topping out around 110. I think the highlight of the trip was Aquaknox..we will defiantly be going back. Another great trip and i can't wait for the next one!
