GOODBYE LAS VEGAS

  The sports book room at the Circa is the largest in the world .  Three stories. 1000-person viewing capacity for free and other private boxes, where you can host events. Recliners are another option in the Legends Club for comfort, food and beverage service, with a minimum order. You can wager on all sports events, even bull riding. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to use it.  Perhaps on my next trip, which could be next month. Had meals today from the California Hotel.  First a take-out of saimin ( my computer insists this should be simian, and keeps changing it ) and BBQ. Then a minor splurge for dinner. Broke even on the poker machine. Was invited to the Circa Legacy Club on the 60th floor for champagne. Woke up early to prepare for my trip back home.  The concierge said Bell Trans was $15 plus tip and taxi was at least $50 plus tip.  Took a taxi, and it "only" cost $35, plus tip.  That dome is the abuilding Venetian Sphere, an entertainment center with 18,600 seats t

LOUISIANA SEAFOOD BOIL, LUAU AND LAS VEGAS

I leave this morning for Las Vegas and will stay at the downtown Circa Casino.  Took me 40 minutes from home to the United Club, which is unbelievably quick, considering that I walked almost 2500 steps (I have a pedometer).  My first Cup O Noodles in a decade.  I added two halves of boiled egg.  With a Bloody Mary, my best breakfast in a long time. 15 Craigside feature this week a Louisiana Seafood Boil and a luau. Then last night a  luau .  With the more traditional  lau lau,  fish,  lomi salmon ,  chicken long rice ,  mock bird nest soup ,  poi  and  haupia ,  I bought the  squid luau  and the ingredients for my enhanced  ahi poke , adding  ogo ,  kazunoko ,  ikura,  hot sauce, onion and  sea asparagus . The wines were both Cabernet Sauvignon, from Chateau Buena Vista in Napa and Oblivion in Paso Robles, pus Kirin Beer. -
