Viva Las Vegas

This is us on our drive to Las Vegas for my 21st berfday. It was a very fun weekend--Here are most of the highlights!
We stayed at Treasure Island. When we arrived, we got a complimentary upgrade to the top level, and since we're "obviously newlyweds", we got a free bottle of Martinelli's, haha.

For our first meal, we decided to eat dim sum. However, restaurants don't really serve dim sum at 9 PM, so we ended up just getting "Modern Chinese food" at a restaurant in the Palazzo called Mainland. WORST SERVICE EVER, even worse than at Carvers in Sandy, Utah. Our server took a long time to come get our drink order, then said that the bar tender was too busy, so our drinks would take a while (bad idea to say when you can fully see the bar from your table), then our entrees came out probably a real-life 15 minutes apart. The food ended up being good, but we wouldn't ever go back, and don't recommend it, unless you can see that it's completely empty, therefore, not busy.
This was the view from our window. AWESOME!

The next night, after a long day at the pool, we decided to eat at the buffet at the Wynn. This was the line we waited in,
And this was the copious amount of crab legs that we consumed :)

Lunch the next day (after, once again, hanging out at the pool) was at Mesa Grill (by Bobby Flay). No sign of the chef, but I did learn a new fact... JJ can not aim a camera.

Then we went to the "Bodies" exhibit at the Luxor. It was super cool! I liked the siamese twins fetus, and JJ liked the body of veins. If you get the chance, see it! I hear it's coming to SLC in the fall.

We then went to Craftsteak for dinner. We had the Wagyu (American Kobe) Tartare (yes, we like raw meat) and shaved fennel salad, followed by JJ's New York (perfect) and my braised rib (most awesome), with sides of han-shi meiji mushrooms and a great blue cheese potato gratin. It was very filling!... and then we ate a free birthday cheesecake. BEST MEAL EVER! We don't even care that it beat out our other meals for most expensive, it was SO good.

All in all, it was a great vacation! I was glad to turn 21 with JJ around. I feel strange being a "real adult", and, to answer everyone's burning question, yes... I gambled. I spent a whole dollar on slots and won back... $0.00 . Oh well, I just did it to say that I did.
