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.

Arizona Field Trip

Since the hot weather has passed, I ventured to Arizona by starting my trek to Tucson.  Arrived late and had to settle for burgers from Five Guys for dinner.  The next day was a southern drive into Green Valley and on the way back north, we stopped for sushi at Sachiko.

The trek then headed further north to Phoenix where we landed for the night.  Dinner was at Avanti where the decor reminded me of where wise guys met up for meetings.

Service was super fast and dishes were smothered in sauce.

More north had us in Winslow for lunch at the Brown Mug, a recommendation from the Postal Service where it is rumored it was one of Harrison Ford's stops when he flies into town.

The combo platter was good and it came with sopaipillas.

More north only Indian land and spotty cell service with a possible weather system moving in but we didn't get any rain.  The setting sun as we headed into Flagstaff was beautiful.

Dinner was at Sakura attached to the hotel and the sushi chef steered us away from ordering too much food so we didn't try the holloween specials.

Last view in Arizona before we left the state.
