Vegas Baby!

I just got back from another fabulous trip to Vegas where I spent the weekend with my buddy Mike and his girlfriend, Jill. We stayed at the Wynn which was pretty money. I'm sure I gained 5 lbs that trip, but who cares? It was well worth it. We visited Thomas Keller's Bouchon, L'atelier de Joel Robuchon, Wolfgang Puck's Cut steakhouse, and Okada for some sushi. We also got to check out the Cirque du Soleil show- Le Reve which was simply amazing. I suggest anybody interested check it out.
