Aug. 25, 2010 - Las Vegas, NV




We stayed at a really good KOA last night in Las Vegas. It has 366 RV spots right at "Circus Circus". They have extra long pull-thrus up to 80ft! Super wide, so awnings work great, and some have lawns and patio furniture. If you don't have an RV, you can still stay here in one of their super shiny Airstream trailers. Staying here and unhooking your car to go further downtown, or walking right into Circus Circus is very convenient.

Rich was excited to take me to my favorite restaurant; Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace. I was looking forward to the Yucatan Chicken Taco that I had the last time we went there. We got there as soon as they opened for lunch, in fact, we were the first ones there!! We had the goat cheese queso fundido for our appetizer. Rich and I made this dish at our Bobby Flay cooking class at Pans on Fire cooking supply store in Pleasanton. It was nice to confirm that ours was every bit as good as the original!!! Bobby would be proud of us :) For our entre', Rich had the Ancho-Black Bean Grilled Salmon (naturally), and I got my Yucatan Chicken Tacos! Fantastic! We both scraped our plates clean! It was the best lunch EVER! We still had a little room for our Lime and Blueberry Tart with crushed Blueberry and marshmallow swirled vanilla ice cream.

Drove back to the RV to hook up and head home, but we had some trouble with the left blinker on the jeep :( Rich had to undo the electrical connection, and tighten all the wires. Not to challenging, except it was over 110 degrees, and made worse by the fact we were on a huge asphalt parking lot with absolutely no shade! It only took about an hour or so, and we were on our way, heading for home, or as close as we could get.
