Hi, Cathy here, on an iBook, in an obscure hotel in Las Vegas, with plans for something exciting tomorrow night.
I’m blogging what I ate, and then some…I left San Diego in the wind this morning..and stopped in Baker, to view the World’s largest Thermometer (and get a cup of coffee at Starbucks).
Dinner was at "Feast", the buffet inside Green Valley Ranch Casinos Resort and Spa. $17..and worth it. The Buffet was suggested by Mr. brother, hereafter referred to as "Mr. Bally"who, along with a few others, have made some suggestions as to where I should try to eat while here. Mostly photos…limited descriptions for now..I have to take a nap!…and no photo of the crab legs, chilled shrimp or Mongolian BBQ… I don’t take photos of people…
smoked salmon, giant caperberries, fennel chicken salad…there is a lettuce part of the salad bar also…this was *far* more fun. My salad plate(s)
..the carving station selections, well some of them anyhow…
The Asian food section offered a wide variety of some great tasting food…
Then the Italian section…
That sauce in the back to the left (not the meatballs) was artichokes, mushrooms and olives…and soooooo goood!
The a sample of desserts:
Ah, so what am I doing here???Well, there is this competition…more tomorrow.
Green Valley Ranch www.greenvalleyranchresort.com
that roast beef looks perfectly cooked….
On your way back, stop by Baker again and try out The Mad Greek Cafe (if you haven’t already). When I used to drive between SD and LV, it always meant a stop there for 1) restroom 2) gyro w/ pita or greek dinner with gyro, souvlaki, etc. (they no longer serve the meatball (kefti?) so I now just order the gyro) 3) BEST strawberry shake – it’s all natural homemade! 4) pistachio baklava!! YUMMMY!
Oh.. and they serve mexican food! Have fun in Las Vegas! There’s an amazing all-u-can-eat crablegs at Hushpuppies on Monday?? nights!
I was in LV last week and had very good meals at Lotus of Siam, Bouchon and Picasso. Looking forward to read what you tried.
Hi nhbilly, it was…its that I have this problem with cutting/using two hands…
Hello illtaketwoplease-be patient, you’ll see, although I didn’t see the baklava at breakfast this morning….and, um, Monday night was the reason my Friend and I went to Vegas…
Hey Honkman….well, um, we did go places and I will blog, but it was kind of a Girls Weekend and, well, when you see why we were in Vegas, you may understand why we didn’t do much “fancy” stuff…although we did enjoy some superb food. When I go again with The Mister, I will be trying Lotus of Siam, definitely.
Work it, girl!
