I'll See You in Vegas

Many of you may be wondering why I haven't posted any new Philly reviews since I typically eat out in the city a few times per week. The answer is that I have been swamped at work since our most important industry trade show starts next Tuesday (the International Telemetry Conference, ITC). That's the bad news. The good news is that I will be in Las Vegas for 8 days and already have 10 reservations (8 dinner, 2 brunch). I am planning on trying out the following restaurants:

  • Nobu
  • Michael Mina
  • Fleur de Lys
  • Aureole
  • Picasso
  • Bouchon
  • Verandah
  • Valentino
  • Commander's Palace
  • Okada
As you can see from my list, I am trying a mixture different places. Some old classics and some new hits. Some New York and California transplants. I am very curious to see if Wynn Las Vegas lives up to the recent hype that it has been receiving. Many people have argued that this is the new culinary center of Las Vegas. We'll have to see ...

Stay tuned for my reviews - I hope to be posting on a near daily basis while I am out there. For those of you headed to ITC and friends / family that I'll be meeting there, I only have one thing to say --

I'll see you in Vegas !!
