Dinner in Spain, Italy and Greece in three nights – on the Vegas strip of course. At The Cosmopolitan, Wynn and The Venetian – with Cabaret at Delilah’s – the best Supper Club still standing with great bar/cabaret, and of course Rod Stewart playing and dancing his heart out during his two-hour Greatest Hits show at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace.
We travelled here just to catch one of Rod’s six residency shows – what a night – fourth row from the front, centre stage. Rockin’ Rod maturing like a fine wine. Great staging, great production, great songs, great set, great crowd and Rod in great form. A night to treasure. A true night on the town.
With some great dinners while we were in town – dinner at three favourites:
- José Andrés – Jaleo – great tapas, great flavours.
- Estiatorio Milos – best fish in town. All the Greek specials – we hand selected a sweet 216 Fagri – grilled with capers and olive oil – perfect with a bottle of Puligny Montrachet – and of course some taramosalata, tzatziki and htipiti up front – just to get us in the mood for the real thing in Amanzoe next week.
- And of course Cipriani – home from home – Downtown Soho, Venice, Dubai, Vegas – we’ve been going for 20+ years – nothing changes. Vitello Tonnato, Fegato Veneziana – and a bottle of Ferruccio Ferragamo’s Il Borro.
Vegas?
We don’t gamble, we don’t shop, we no longer party (and it’s all loud and crowded), but it’s worth a trip – for the shows/food – maybe once a decade!!
