            I'm renting a car when I get in.

            Restaurant suggestions would be great.

                                          To each his own. They are all good. I just eat at Ruth's Chris enough in Vegas. Mortons is certainly decent but I prefer Gibsons.

                                              I think it was called Bin 36... If you are into a wine bar... Food was good there but portions were very small.

                                                    I fvcking hate piano bars. I wanna throw glassware at people at them in Vegas. How many fvcking times can you hear "Sweet Caroline" before you lose your sanity and want to rip someone's head off? Ughh.

                                                    Piano bars are for chicks and dudes that wish they were born female if you ask me.

                                                      Go to a Cubs game. Just sit there and try to picture them winning a phuckin playoff game.

                                                          This may be a dumb question but when I look up Gibson it gives me 2 choices. Does it matter which one ?

                                                            Are you stalking me because that's what we did?


                                                            Went to Shed Aquarium on Saturday and it was worth it, but went down to the Horseshoe and didn't care for it. It was actually pretty depressing.

                                                            It looked like everyone in that place was betting money that they didn't have. (Normally it's half the people in a casino.) I went to get something at the BBQ place and stood on line behind a few people and the woman up front was a $1 short on her order and she didn't have it. After 10 minutes of nobody knowing what to do, I threw a dollar at the counter so I could get the line moving.

                                                            Was at Gibson's last night and was a little disappointed. I had a porterhouse for $47 that wasn't that great. I needed a chain saw to cut through it. She got the crab claws that was really good.

                                                              thats what i was trying to tell you, Gibsons is an overpriced joke. Ruth's Chris and Mortons are where you go for the BEST tasting steaks. Have not been to the Horseshoe since they remodeled, doesn't seem to be too great from your words.

                                                              hope you get a chance to get some pizza, are you still in Chicago? Go to Due or Lou Malnoti's if you are!

                                                                I got back this morning.

                                                                In NY there's a Ruth's Chris and a Morton's so I wanted to try something different. The funny thing is, the girl I was with was mentioning what a sin it was that they bring out that incredibly over sized desert. How no two people could finish that and it was a waste of food and it started pissing me off also.
