Just to give you the rest of the full restaurant review:
2) Joe’s Crab Shack – Caesar’s Forum Shoppes – I was talked into giving up Lindo Michoacan for this POS. Everything was subpar – steaks, seafood, appetizers. The steaks had a slight metallic liver twinge, fish had crab shells etc etc . . . Avoid. $465 for 5 including an ’07 Jordan.
3) SW Steak – Wynn – I had a major standoff with the maître d here. On my 2nd trip to his desk for seating, I asked him “How ballistic do you want me to be? Calm? Medium? Or full scale scene?” He then made the mistake of saying it would be ready in 10 seconds. So I counted it down in front of him – much to the amusement of the surrounding patrons & my co-workers. He let me finish & admitted that it would be about 5 more minutes – which it was. The meal was very good with the exception of the strange steak sauces. A ketchup-tasting red. A boring béarnaise. Or a mango-jalapeno? Mango on beef? Are they nuts? The wine list had truly obscene prices. $511 for 3 including an ’07 Rosso di Montalcino.
4) Pizza night was a major hit with our own wine tasting of 4 interesting bottles. The Rioja & the Cote Rotie won by a landslide but the Rotie needs a few more years. $270 for 7.
5) The Steak House – Circus Circus – This restaurant has been around a long time. Very old school with a limited menu that they aced. The steaks were superb. Plain. No spicing. Just good meat. I didn’t see the bill but it was a lot cheaper than above. Very limited wine list. A pic of the massive prime rib.
6) Lindo Michoacan – Desert Inn Rd – Our 3rd time here & it was excellent once more. A great variety of choices, fresh flour tortillas, wonderful margaritas with a free shuttle to the strip. Ask to taste their: cry today & cry tomorrow chili sauce. $260 for 5.
The 20 x 20 where I spent 32 + hours. We had a 5.1 demo using the awesome Crossroads 2010 BluRay. Our neighbors loved our music.
Some Pcar content compliments of GoPro. Their short video of their camera in use was amazing.
