Nevada Field Trip

In continuing with field work, we bedded down in Laughlin since work was going much smoother time wise.  This trip has been harder than most since it has been the longest trip where I'm mentally exhausted with people yelling and cursing me.  I guess this is the balance.

First night at the casino hotel and we ended up having a meat and potatoes meal.  The Range steakhouse was very high class but the evening was marred by a table of women near us talking super loud and complaining about everything.

Cool bread combo.

Appetizer of tomato and mozzarella.

A house salad with my prime rib dinner and an order of garlic mashed potatoes.

Jules ordered a flat iron steak with asparagus.

The next day ended up in Las Vegas and after a long meeting, we had a late lunch at 3:00 at WT Pho?.

We closed out the day with a walk down Fremont Street and checking out the vintage slots.

A last glance at the Mob Museum - I will need to visit this place one day.

Hanging with Andrea

I extended my stay in Las Vegas for a day to hang with Andrea and it was great to catch up.  We hit some foodie places like Momo sushi where they had great specials.

I ordered some seaweed salad and the sushi combo.

The local Trader Joe's had a variety of hydrangea and the soy crackers I love which they don't sell in California anymore.

We also indulged at Bachi Burger which is an asian inspired place sharing a burger with mushrooms as well as the oxtail chili fries.

The place is small but the menu presented a challenge of what to order.

Las Vegas is still a bit too dry for me, but it was a bit cooler than San Diego which was 90 degrees when I landed.

Las Vegas Field Trip

Headed to dry and warm Las Vegas for an investigation.  It was a productive trip and I reconnected with an old colleague.

We hit a greek place for lunch - Market Grille Cafe where I had a gyro plate.

After work, I headed to Andrea's place and we went out for dinner at the Bonefish Grill - the same chain as I usually go to with Val in Colorado.  We had a free appetizer of shrimp with rolls.

I ordered the special orange roughy with crab for my dinner with garlic mash and broccoli.

That evening we sat out on the back patio and caught up.  She has a view of the strip.
