A Visitor from SoCal

 Las Vegas, NV

Having a Friend In Town

Over the past few days we have had a visitor.  Darrin drove out from SoCal and stayed at The MGM Grand and we ended up hanging out for quite a bit.  We showed him some of our new spots and he showed us some of his spots.  He comes out a few times a year so he has good knowledge of the area.

Some of the highlights over the past few days included:

Dinner at Cornish Pasty

We introduced him to Stray Pirate

A brunch at Makers and Finders

Walking around looking at antique malls in The Arts District.

Darrin treated us to a fancy steak dinner at Bavette's Steakhouse at Park MGM

Everything was delicious

Breakfast at Wicked Spoon, one of Darrin's favorites. It's a great Vegas buffet

A trip to Frankies Tiki Room

A trip to Golden Tiki

And a trip to Starboard Tack, a locals bar with a great happy hour and Taco Tuesday

It was a really fun few days.  Now we have 2 days to relax and catch up on chores before new guests come into town.  

That's it for today.  If you missed, Free Stranger Things Store in Vegas, check it out.

Silver Stamp with a Disney Friend

Catching Up

Today was a low key Saturday.  I bought Super Mario Bros. Wonder the other day so I have been playing that.  It's really fun.  I like the old school side scrolling play and there are a lot of new gameplay elements that keep it interesting.  We also did some cooking.  Saturday night walked over to Silver Stamp to meet up with my friend Bob.  We go way back.  We worked at Disney together and we used to get together for all of the big Boxing Matches back when boxing was relevant.  We even got to go to live boxing matches together at The Arrowhead Pond back when Disney managed the facility.  We got free tickets from various people that worked at Disney and at The Arrowhead Pond.  

My Fifty Fifty Brewing barrel aged stout tasted great.

It was fun catching up.  It was also fun introducing a local to one of my favorite bars in the area.  

That's it for today.  This coming week we have dinner reservations at a couple of places and I have a pinball tournament at a Billiard Room.  It should be a good week.  If you missed Atomic Stray Pirate Crab, check it out.  The title will make more sense after reading it.
