In February we made a trip down to Vegas to visit his uncle and check out some cool sites etc. We stayed just off the strip at Palace Station. It was a great deal, they had a bus that took multiple trips to the strip each day, and the machines paid out better. We had a great time visiting with his family and getting to see some awesome things.
First highlight of the trip- Battista's Hole in the wall Italian Restaurant. usually I hate eating Italian out, but this was recommend by an Italian Friend from Youngstown who lives in Vegas. It was really cute inside. totally old school Italian American with a guy walking around playing the accordion. The food was great, portions way to big. All meals come with unlimited homemade wine, salad or soup, entrée and cappuccino. You do need ot make reservations they fill up fast!
I had swordfish with capers, olives, lemon over pasta.
Ronnie has the steak piazziolowith a side of pasta. (You can see his glass of homemade wine in the picture)
Another great activity is a ride on the High roller Wheel. You can find great deals for tickets, I do not recommend the car that includes alcohol, you can purchase a drink at a reasonable price right before getting on the ride and one drink is perfect for the trip around. We finished it off with a cupcake from Sprinkles!
We also check out Madam Tussauds. Ronnie got a picture with Tiger Woods, we got to hang out with some awesome celebrities, and party with the Hangover people. Again, no need to do the "Hangover" tour. For the money you can go the short amount of time without a drink while walking through the museum. If you have a large group with you, then it would probably be fun but not necessary. We also got to see a really cool interactive 4-D Superhero short.
With his uncle we got to see some cool smaller Casinos that are where more of the locals go. One had an airstream bowling alley.
Our last day we went to Old Vegas. We started at the MOB Museum. It was a really cool piece of history especially being from Youngstown and Cleveland.
We then went to Fremont street where we walked around, zip lines, hung out in the old school Casinos! best part of the trip was ending it at his uncle's house for steaks on the grill before boarding our flight home.
