Creme Brulee - Vegas Trip Highlight

Ok, so no drooling please. Last thing I posted was my purdy toes, that was for our trip to Vegas that my hubby and I went on. We stayed at the Luxor a nice older (10 yrs +) hotel that uses low rates to keep the folks coming. I also booked online and got a few 2 for 1 deals. Nothing major, but we used the 2 for 1 buffet ticket for breakfast and that was pretty good. The photo is from our "Fancy Dinner" night. We choose one really good restaurant and splurge, right down to the dessert.
This time we actually ate really good twice. Once was a bit of an accident. We had decided to see Le Reve at the Wynn Resort. Very pricey place. We needed to get there early and we took a taxi to avoid traffic. Well, we hadn't had dinner because it was too early before we left. So we ended up looking at some of the bars to see if we could just do appetizers. Well, neither of us wanted to eat what was on most of the menu's and they don't have any non-smoking sections in the bars so...
To make a long story short, we checked out the restaurants and they were all very high end and pricey. I had seen one on the internet that was supposed to be really good Japanese, with Tempura and stuff. So deciding to bite the financial bullet we checked it out. It was pretty small and hardly anyone was there. But then it was only 5:30 at the time so no rush yet. We were seated right away and the first thing we noticed was that the prices were VERY reasonable. So we ordered vegetable Tempura and also something....ack, I forgot what it was called! Something like Robitiaki (in any case it was marinated meat that is grilled) We both tried some. Carl had Sea Bass and I got the filet) I also got one of the best tasting appletini's I have ever had! It was truly a wonderful dining experience! Anyone who goes to Vegas should check this place out. They also have a really good sushi bar (from what I have heard, Carl and I don't do Sushi) Very nice and quiet and wonderful service and food!
Ok, now for the picture....
The next night was our fancy dinner and we ended up "settling" for the Luxor Steakhouse. I had looked all over online for the different steakhouses in Vegas. They were either too high end with weird things food wise or they were just too far away for us to walk. We didn't really want to drive anywhere. So the Luxor Steakhouse was actually on some of the best of the best lists so I thought "fine, we will try it". Best decision I ever made. Apparently they had just changed their menu and chef, and the food and service was fantastic!
Carl and I both had the Filet Mignon and grilled asparagus, with Yukon mashed potatoes (which for a non mashed potato person )that were sublime! And of course last but not least was the dessert. I am a fanatic about Creme Brulee', I really like it if it is done well. And this was done....WELL! The presentation as you can see was very nice but the flavor was to die for!! YUMMY! So we really enjoyed our trip and we will go again next year. We have now tried a few restaurants and may return to one we have already been to. The Fiore Steakhouse at the RIO was a really good one too. So that was our trip and we had a blast.
