Las Vegas: A Love/Hate Relationship

If you've read my previous blog about Vegas, you know I'm not a fan. This time around, I had company which made the couple of days spent in the City of Sin not bad at all. I even got to taste some really good Brussels Sprouts (which I am obsessed with) in not 1 but 2 restaurants! Beyond that, I saw the side of Vegas that wasn't all day clubs and night messes.

Arrive:

 

Stay: (Preferably the one within, you'll see what I mean ;) )



Vegas for the Epicurious:


Remember those Brussels sprouts I mentioned above? They're below and you can find them at +Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill.


Go to +Bellagio Las Vegas. See the fountains up close and personal from Todd English's Olive. Splurge on a good Malbec recommended by your server. Do all this while taking a bite out of this Chicken Margherita sandwich full of crispy prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, arugula, tomato fondue, basil aioli, toasted ciabatta and that comes accompanied by sweet potato fries. You're welcome.







There's the Fremont Experience. You don't have to keep your neck in pain for long. You can leave and go to Park on Fremont. If it's Tuesday get the "Street Tacos" and any of their drinks which come in cute mason jars. Then go take endless pictures of the Cinderella carriage on top of the roof and the "fucking beautiful" sign that must be instagramed. Spoiler alert: You may never get the perfect picture of the carriage due to lighting.

Street Tacos: Simply Delicious!

While in Vegas, I did go and get one of these bad boys at +Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at the Venetian. Because... Bacon.


Lunch at Giadas


 



Rose Rabbit Lie: Brussels

 
Crush at the MGM: Moscow Mules and Small Plates before KÀ by Cirque du Soleil.
 

 
And of course... the theatrical dishes that surpass them all need no introductions.
