Couldn't quite wrap my brain about who decided that was a necessary thing.

Were they labeled #1 and #2?

How about TV's in the bathroom (with the speakers in the ceiling). We experienced that at the Paris Las Vegas on our last stay (granted we were bumped up the top floor due to overbooking).

Ironically, there WASN'T a phone in the restroom - just a TV.

What an interesting ski run.... :) Ours just felt that painful but really wasn't.

Better luck next time - we've got a second Nutcracker coming in December.

Today, my boss is out sick. It's amazing how different the office is without its leader. Much more relaxed...

I prefer to use pastry rather than bread as it seals a little better .

My favourite recipe for Cornish Pasty Filling:

Breville pasties
125g lamb mince, cooked and chopped
125g mixed chopped vegetables, cooked
1 cup mashed potato
1 egg
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
salt and pepper
1 sheet pre-rolled puff pastry

1. Combine steak, vegetables, potatoes, egg, herbs and seasoning, mix until well combined.
2. Lay pastry over plates.
3. Place in filling.
4. Fold pastry over and cook until lightly golden brown and crisp.

Yummo !!

Yay! I have a sandwich maker like the top one... I can totally use that Cornish Pasty recipe... thanks Lash! :snap:

Speaking of Vegas, we didn't have a ton of time to ourselves there since our main purpose was the wedding, but we did get a chance to see a couple of the new-to-us hotels that have gone up since our last visit.

THEbotel This is what they've galled the new tower at Mandalay Bay. It has to be THEstupidest name I've heard...for THEnicest looking place I've been in. The happy couple stayed here, and they rented out a 60th floor suite for a casual after-wedding party. I was impressed from the moment we walked out of the Casino into this new structure. Ultra-modern decor, but super stylish. The architecture of the entry hallway really caught my eye, as well as the choice of art. Were I ever to want to spend the cash on a nicer place to stay in Vegas, this would definitely contend.

The Wynn: Not at all what I expected. I was expecting posh, ultra-elegance, possibly to the point of having a snobby air. It's not at all. It's certainly elegant, but with much more of a sense of fun and whimsy than I had figured. Definitely more inviting than I expected. I was particularly impressed with the whole area around "Parasol Down", the small lounge down stairs near reception. Fun moving art hanging from the ceiling, the breathtaking water-fall feature out the door, and flanked by a pair of curved escalators! Would love to see the mechanics of that, I noticed that each had a particularly expansive runout at the bottom, I imagine it's pretty complex. I also loved the series of arched doorways with wood surrounds sculpted to evoke the look of pulled back curtains.

Vegas may be the capital of garishally over dramatic design, but when they get something right, it's pretty impressive.

If you liked the curved elevator then you might want to visit the San Francisco Chopping Center. It has a four story curved escalator (not in one long block, with landings at each floor).

Is the one at Wynn of changing curve angles? That would be niftier.

60th floor? yikes...thats a whole lotta 'way the F up there!'

I miss vegas. I think I need to go

Okay, so there's this guy at work.
He's totally not my type.
But he's got that whole straight guy macho thing going on.
And I find that very, very appealing for some reason.

:blush:

Gemini Cricket 11-19-2007 02:02 PM

I'm posting a lot because I'm on a boring conference call.
I'm not really needed for this call, but they want me there just in case.
Bo-RING!
:D
