VegasChatter

1. Liquor is Where The Money Is:

Remember the Restaurant Week menus don’t include booze. If your goal is keeping your meal cheap, skip the alcohol until you’re back on the gaming floor throwing back freebies or your check could quickly double or even triple.

2. Entertaining dining companions don't have to be human

We hit up Sensi at the Bellagio on Friday, and were somewhat distracted by some amorous crustacean action. Two in the top tank spent most of the meal humping and as we left it looked like the shrimp on the bottom were starting up a mass orgy, plane-going-down-we've-got-nothing-to-lose style.

3. Rao’s Famous Meatballs Ain’t Amazeballs:

The meatballs weren’t horrible; they just weren’t as spectacular as we’d heard. At least one of your VegasChatter truly learned this from the cheaper lunch menu.

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Tasting Menus:

Ask your server if the restaurant has any other menus whether or not it’s Restaurant Week. Some restaurants proudly displayed the RW menus while we had to request it at others.

5. Presentation Counts:

Prettying up a plate can never hurt a dish. See: the sliders on a pair of soft, tanned buns at KGB (which surely must stand for Kerry's Giant Boobs).

Next year, we'd like to extend Restaurant Week to Restaurant Fortnight to have more time to fully appreciate the sliders. And the (b)re(a)st.
