Eating Endangered Species

Diner at next table & ex Chelsea centre forward. Therefore part Legend.

Dining out alone wouldn’t be something I do a lot of generally but out here I love it and for many different reasons. Chiefly the food but the random stranger you get sat next to is always good value in Vegas. The other night I munched on Japanese fusion tapas next to a coke addled millionaire Kiwi and three Ladies from California. All this whilst getting served by a flirty Naomi Campbell (or her twin) meant I had an extra glass of Pinot that wasn’t budgeted for but hey, sometimes you gotta kick back a little.

The food here is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I like fine dining and you get the best value in the world here. 5 dear friends of mine ate at the Wynn’s signature Japanese eatery where the service is excellent and the food spectacular. It was an evening of great entertainment in great surroundings with a sumptuous meal thrown in all for less than the cost of a show ticket. One must always be careful in Vegas if food is not part of your holiday money (which also makes Vegas so great as you can eat good food for almost nothing). Last year a well known Irish poker player was going for a burger, met Nicky Power who said he was joining a few of us for a Burger at the Wynn. The poor chap wasn’t informed that the burger would be in the Wynn’s signature steakhouse in the company of some of people who were ordering Sashimi Dolphin covered in Egyptian swan feather dust and that was just for starters. The look on his face when he received his share of the bill would have raised millions for charity.

He could have course joined in the craze of spoofing for dinner. Spoofing is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080627022757AA5Tm2p

And if you can’t be arsed to read the above your basically gambling for who pays the bill. Anyone who thinks their good at poker thinks their good at spoof because of nonsense like soul reads and tells. There’s only one bit of skill in the game, make sure you always have dinner with Marty Smyth.
