Had a lovely time in Vegas this weekend with Rachel. I also had the opportunity to meet some of her Vanderpeople, whom I enjoyed immensely.
What fun! My plane was delayed a little getting into town. Once I landed and hauled butt over to Planet Hollywood, I did a quick change and we went to the Daniel Boulud Brasserie. Daniel Boulud was the guest judge on Top Chef last week, and the food was divine. I had a delicious pumpkin soup with savory marshmallows and huckleberry coulis, and a terrific steak. After dinner, we met up with Rachel's Vanderposse, and went to Tryst at the Wynn. I was wowed by the screening process for letting people in--and happy that we were eventually deemed cute and young enough to go in. After about an hour or so there, we retired to a more civilized lounge (read: one with chairs) to chat and relax.
The next day was relaxing with some spa time, pool time, and shopping time, followed by dinner at the hotel's buffet and a hypnosis show. A pretty low-key day, but still a lot of fun.
When I arrived home on Sunday, dogs and JMT were happy to see me, and JMT took me out for an excellent dinner at the local Italian place.
All in all, a great weekend!
Thanks Julie, err I mean Rachel, for planning such a terrific getaway!
