  4. Den....great stuff as usual. Making my annual trip with the boys on the MLK weekend in January. We have done it every year for the past 16 years. This year we are staying at the Bellagio. We use to have dinner at this Italian restaurant on Sahara called The Venetian. They had a dish simply called "The bones". It was beef neck bones, cooked like ox tails. We would get salads and a side, usually some kind of potato dish, and many many cocktails. Great place, one of the old style restaurants with the leather high back booths. Now we have our first dinner on the Friday night at the Capital Grille, and great steakhouse. Of course, I get a wedge salad and the rib eye....all I need. Thanks for the tip. Gotta love Vegas!

  5. The Venetian sounds great, Jon! Battista's is worth a trip...for cocktails and to check out the mini bottle collection. It reminds me of the old Gold Spike on Columbus. Food- only okay. Atmosphere- really fun! I'll check the Venitian next time I'm in Vegas.

    You go with all OLM buds? Riordan High buds?

  8. OK didn't mean to cause you any extra work there. Sorry, dude.

    Just listened to this episode of the AA Hour, oh man... I gots me a vegas-boner now! I have been on vegas-hiatus for over a year-- using Reno to fulfill my Nevada-urges-- but will be going back this January.

    With the wife. without the boys. so i don't think i'll get to go to Sapphire this time.

    Question about Battista's: how does it compare (costwise and qualitywise) to Joe's of Westlake?

  9. TJ- I love Joe's of Westlake.. Battistas has higher prices and the food isn't as good. Go for a drink.

    That said, my boy, Jon, posted about a place he hits in Vegas- The Venitian on Sahara- that sounds great (see above) "The Bones"? Gotta try that someday!
