Hubby and I decided to escape to Las Vegas for the weekend. Well, let me be honest - I dragged him to Las Vegas (which he hates) to see Rod Stewart at Caesar's Palace. I love Rod and haven't seen him perform since college. I just couldn't pass this opportunity up and so off we flew.
Our stay began at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, which is a Marriott property. Whew - pricey and trendy and sophisticated. So not me! We enjoyed the fluffy bedding, the oversized shower, the view of the Bellagio Fountains, and the location. I could live without the bumpin' loud music in the Chandelier atrium near the restaurants though. I never even found the casino here!
We loved dining at Holstein's for burgers, fries, and shakes. Now these were not your ordinary burgers - delicious kobe beef marinated in soy/kalbi with a fried egg and kimchi. The bun was toasty too. Our fries were crispy and delicious sweet potato fries (my favorite) and a couple of the most delicious milkshakes ever. Hubby had the S'mores with chocolate, grahams, a hand-crafted marshmallow, and rum. Yep, rum. Mine was the Oreo cookie shake with Bailey's. Unbelievably delicious.
You can bet that when I return to Vegas I will hit up Holstein's for sure. The Cosmopolitan - I'll skip that and leave it for a younger more sophisticated crowd.
Oh, and how was Rod Stewart you wonder? He was rockin! For a man easily into his 60's he still has the moves and the voice. A bit raspy to be sure but highly entertaining.
Au revoir Vegas for now... probably won't see you for awhile.
We're off to the Grand Canyon next...
