Love In Vegas

This weekend, my girlfriend and I took a road trip to Vegas for a quick getaway.  We got in Friday night and had dinner at Julian Serrano at Aria because we were craving tapas.  We actually do not recommend this restaurant as the food was below par and the waiter was not very helpful.  He suggested that we could order one more dish, when in actuality, we ordered way too much!  I feel like I'm writing a Yelp! review.

Saturday, we hung by the pool, gambled a bit (we were both losers), window shopped, and had dinner at Mastro's before heading to Mirage to watch Love.  Love was actually the highlight of our trip as we both enjoy Cirque De Soleil shows.  I think that overall, the show was entertaining, but I would have liked to see more acrobatics than dancing.  I like the Beatles.

We stayed at Vdara - nice rooms, but no tables and valet parking only, which resulted in a madhouse of people lingering in the hotel lobby trying to leave at the mandated 11AM check-out time.  Don't think we'll stay there again!
