Thanksgiving this year was spent in Las Vegas, beginning with our limo ride from the airport to the hotel (that’s my wife, Christina, duh)
Once again for this trip, we stayed at Nobu inside Caesar’s
Their suites are large, luxurious, and spacious
Most importantly, their rooms are quiet, which in Vegas is hard to find
This is the bar in our room…most used room by far
This is for the broads…always obsessed with bathrooms
Upon arriving Wednesday night, because we are total dorks, we headed straight to Vanderpump for drinks and snacks (don’t forget Vanderpump Rules returns to Bravo in January)
Of course everything at Vanderpump is over the top and pretty, including Christina’s frou-frou champage drink
Not to be outdone, I ordered a whiskey drink that was infused with smoke in front of us
This is quite the operation
Gotta be honest…it was totally worth the wait. Exceptional cocktail
Thanksgiving Day was spent with Steve Mikkelson at the Rampart Casino Race and Sports book
If you like sportsbooks without the cursing, loud, drunkness this is the place to go. Totally redesigned and beautiful we had a great time watching the turkey day games
While Steve was giving us a tour of the property, we looked up to see a balloon on the ceiling; upon further review it was a letter “S” balloon as in “Steve.” Coincidence? Absolutely
Most importantly, Steve’s wife Cindy came by to deliver her homemade chocolate rice krispy peanut butter marshmallow brownies. Yes, all of those flavors are in these amazing treats!
For Thanksgiving dinner, we came back the room and got dressed
And for some reason this attempt at a photo turned into a blooper reel
I have no idea what she is doing here…
That’s it, I give up
We headed out front of Caesar’s to Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen
There is a lot of Ramsay on display at this place
The one homage to the show they pay is the wall of all former winners of “Hell’s Kitchen”
They do also make a point to have all of the working chef’s scream out orders and things like “yes chef,” as everything is prepared
Of course, you have to get Beef Wellington at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, which was amazing
My wife insisted on the mac n cheese, which I was skeptical of but was delicious. It was like mac and cheese meets a loaded baked potato!
And look at that gorgeous salmon Christina ordered! What a perfect dinner
UNTIL she cut into it and it was totally dry and overcooked. Epic fail, Gordon
Most importantly though, we came home with the item you can only buy at Hell’s Kitchen Las Vegas
IDIOT SANDWHICH ear muffs! Now, whichever one of us is wrong during an argument has to wear these. Get ready for warm ears, Christina!
