I had the Friday before Christmas off, so I decided to have a mini-Vegas vacation. I started the day with a 90-minute facial at the Aveda Institute. I’ve been to the Aveda Institutes in Chapel Hill and St. Petersburg, and this one is another good value for great service. Afterward, Brad and I went to the UNLV basketball game versus Cal. I had never seen a UNLV home game and was impressed with the enthusiasm of the crowd. The whole arena was red! The game ended at the perfect time to hit happy hour on the Strip. We got a kick out of the number of people who asked us where we were visiting from. When we said we are locals, they looked at us like we have two heads. Locals can (and should) enjoy the Strip too! We were thinking cocktails and light appetizers, but we found ourselves tempted by the shellfish samplers at RM Seafood. Important lesson learned – rather than asking for a dinner-sized portion of crab and lobster, next time we’ll give the waiter a price point to work with. We ended up with a feast large enough for four!
Oh my god that looks amazing!
