March 25~30
We're working our way through the Strip a parcel at a time. These new hotels are pretty amazing. Lunched at Wolfgang Puck's Postrio in the Venetian Hotel (venetian.com). Shared a good charcuterie platter and a mushroom, leek, rosemary and goat cheese pizza as we watched the action on "St. Mark's Square", thankfully, minus the pigeons!
The whole Grand Canal thing is pretty Disneyesque, but fun.
The Bellagio (
bellagio.com) is definitely the crown jewel of all these properties. It is famous for its fountain show....and there's good reason why....it is amazing, magical and just makes you smile. Have only seen it during the day so far, but definitely need to come back at night. (That's
Paris in the background)
As much as I love their fountain act, the conservatory is right up there. The spring display is gorgeous and wonderfully whimsical.
Had brunch in the Cafe Bellagio overlooking the Conservatory. It's a massive restaurant and the food was better than we expected. Rick had a belly-buster hamburger, I had Crab Cake Benedict....a crab cake and Canadian bacon on a bed of hash browns with poached eggs....it was huge and delicious.
Such attention to detail is paid in every inch of the hotel. Even the area behind the hotel registration is stunning.
We still lost money in their casino!
Some other street sights along the way.
A Frank Gehry Building
Took a little side trip north of the Strip to see a new building designed by Frank Gehry under construction. It hurt my head! Think there is any coincidence that it is to be a center for brain studies!
