December Vegas trip

Kaitlyn and I took a little trip to Vegas this last weekend. Here's a little review of what we did.

Kaitlyn had a comped room at Bally's for us, and we were able to find relatively cheap airfare, so the trip was going to be pretty cheap for us. We flew in Saturday morning. We just kinda walked around most of the day and later met up with some friends for dinner at Holsteins at the Cosmo. They have some amazing burgers. I had the Rising Sun burger. Kobe beef with a teriyaki glaze and some deep fried avocado. It is amazing. I don't usually rave about burgers, but this one was quite amazing. There was also a burger that had a giant chunk of brisket on it.

After dinner, we walked around a bit more and ended up at Bellagio to check out their Christmas display. It was pretty nice. A giant tree and all their displays are made out of fresh flowers. They really do a nice job with it. Nothing much more that night.

The next day, we got up and went to Bellagio at a place called Jasmine for their fountains brunch. It's a buffet place that is situated right in front of the fountains. So that was pretty cool to watch while we eat. The buffet is more expensive than your typical buffet, but the service was far better. And the food wasn't all that bad either. Typical brunch food, and they had a pho type of station, although having the broth just being chicken soup doesn't count as pho. The cuisine was Cantonese inspired, and there was a rolling cart that had fresh roast duck. Fresh omelet station and a bunch of other stuff. All in all, it was good, but I don't think I would go back. For the price, I'd rather just go to a regular buffet.

The rest of the day was spent just walking around and playing while we waited for the main attraction of the evening.

The Michael Jackson Immortal tour...
