Our weekend trip to Vegas about a week ago was definitely quick, yet relaxed. We had limited time, but since it was our second trip to Vegas, we really enjoyed it and never felt rushed.
We spent most of Sunday wandering around with our friends, enjoying a bevvie in an Irish pub and pondering where we should go for dinner.
We chose Sea Blue in the MGM Grand. It was quite expensive, and pretty good. The best part was the naan bread that they brought out to start.
The hubby and I ordered some exotic tempura mushrooms for an appetizer, and they were fabulous.
I ordered shrimp as my main dish, and we ordered a few sides to share at the table (the main dish is basically a protein, and the sides have to be purchased separately).
After dinner the hubby and I and a friend of ours went to my favourite place in Vegas - The Salute Lounge in The Palazzo Hotel to see the Dueling Pianos.
We sat their for the entire evening, thoroughly entertained, wishing that it would never end.
I even got one of the pianists to play/sing Lil Wayne's How to Love ;-)
Our party of three definitely put the most requests up on the piano, and at the end of the night one of the performers thanked us for the awesome/wide variety of requests.
Most of our friends flew home Monday morning, but we were in Vegas until later in the afternoon. We stopped at Emeril's Table 10 before heading to the airport. The first time we ate at this restaurant (dinner on our 5 year wedding anniversary) the meal was one of the best I have ever eaten. The lunch menu wasn't as fancy, and wasn't as good either.
We shared some dumplings first, which were perfection ...
But the gumbo tasted (and looked) like it came from a can.
It had absolutely no flavour.
I will definitely recommend Table 10 again, but only for dinner. The lunch menu is very ... meh.
Have you ever eaten at a celebrity chef's restaurant?
Are there any celebrity chef restaurants you are dying to try?
Thomas Keller's French Laundry is definitely on my bucket list.
