Runs with knives!
Tonight’s meal wasn’t really a meal at all. We were told by our friend Tracy that we simply had to sample the tiramisu at Caesar’s Palace, under the artificial sunrise and sunset. We made our way to Bertolini’s and sat ‘outside’ near the giant, beautiful (noisy)…
In Las Vegas Nevada, we joined Scott, Emily, and Sarah for dinner at 9 Fine Irishmen in NYNY Hotel & Casino. We dined on a variety of different dishes — a Sausage Pail, Salt & Pepper Prawns (gigantic!), Sheppard’s Pie, and I had a roast…
We met Scott & Emily for dinner tonight at Bradley Ogden in Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas Nevada. Wendy & I arrived a few minutes early and happened to spot Chef Bradley Ogden in the dining room.

We ordered a variety of different appetizers & entrees, including Seared Foie Gras; Slow-Roasted Muscovy Duck; Bison; and more, and paired wines. It was an awesome example of refined American cuisine.

Wendy was in conference all day most days, so this article is mostly about Drew’s experiences in and around the Strip. Because I did so many different things most days, this won’t be a chronological recollection, but rather a bunch of impressions and thoughts. Please read on for the whole story…

VEGAS PICTURES ARE HERE. Wednesday February 22 was another early day, dropping Wendy off at her conference before heading to Cravings, the buffet at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. I met “Big Al” on the tram. Al is an elderly gentleman who was a dealer…
