I realize that vengeance is not a emotional drive one should attempt to exude upon inanimate objects. Okay, well, this object isn’t 100% completely inanimate to start with, and to be honest, I think it might have developed enough artificial intelligence to make this battle, nay, war, personal.

I eat my last meal of the day at odd hours. Sometimes midnightish, sometimes 3 or 4am… Las Vegas has tons and tons of restaurants but the good ones tend to close by 11pm or so, maybe midnight on the weekends. One place that I enjoy eating at fairly regularly is Grand Luxe Cafe, which is inside the Venetian.

Cards, candy, flowers and flirting… and unbelievable amounts of freeway traffic!?!@? I don’t know if it was that everyone was trying to run around after work yesterday and pick up a gift for their boyfriend or girlfriend or if everyone left work at precisely the same time, but the freeways were unimaginably bad yesterday. Liz and I decided that since getting around town was so horrible and since we’d gone to Delmonico only a couple of weeks ago that yesterday it would be nice to order some Italian take-away, get a few bottles of wine, and the makings for dessert and stay at home and watch Lost..

If you press them for suggestions for dining or atypical entertainment I’m sure they’ll come up with something for you, but I decided to make a quick list of a couple of things I enjoy here in Las Vegas that a cabby would probably never think to suggest to you…

I don’t smoke – I never have. I’m allergic to it. It’s nasty and really bothers me to smell it, particularly when I’m eating food. That having been said, I personally felt like banning smoking in all public places in Nevada that served food and were not casinos – an outright ban, mind you, not a non-smoking dining area – was just a bad idea. People who visit here tend to be completely caught up in the spectacle that is the Las Vegas resort corridor/Las Vegas Strip area, and really aren’t privy to the other areas of the gaming industry that live and thrive here in the Valley – an industry that is very much a part of the Las Vegas lifestyle for many people.
