Going to Vegas
Andy and I flew to Vegas on Friday for his birthday weekend. We started with a light lunch at O'Hare's United Club. It wasn't a fantastic lunch but good enough. The brownies were tasty.
We landed, rented a car (a Buick Encore just like I have at home) and drove to Treasure Island where we're staying, mostly because parking is free.
A city of sensory overload.
Our room is on the fifth floor.
We walked through some casinos (already won a bit of money) and wandered into some shops. We found a Honolulu Cookies store and ate some samples.
This is funny.
This was the view from outside of the Sphere (advertising the Wizard of Oz movie being shown there) while we were waiting to cross the street for dinner...
at Battista's Hole in the Wall Italian restaurant.
Another view of the Sphere. This one looks like stained glass.
Quite an interesting restaurant.
Including the menu just to show the prices in 2026. It's always interesting to look at prices in old restaurant and grocery ads, so here's my contribution.
I had the Chicken Parmesan and Andy had the veal version. Dinner came with salad or soup, garlic bread and all the house wine we could drink.
This cappuccino was included too. Tasted like hot chocolate. We were stuffed.
