My Vegas Restaurant Tour

During my trip to Las Vegas last week, I decided to do something different, something I've never done before.

I went on a restaurant tour of dining establishments in the two resort hotels I stayed in, The Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, and The Encore/Wynn on the Las Vegas Strip.

The only times I ate outside the casinos were before I could check in (twice), and after I had checked out and had to spend time in Sin City before my return flight left.

Here's where I ate:

• Dona Maria's Mexican Restaurant on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. Ole!
• Terra Rossa in the Red Rock Casino. Mangiare! Mangiare!
• The Grand Café in the Red Rock Casino. Breakfast omelet!
• Hachi in the Red Rock Casino. Hai! Irashaimase! Itadakimasu!
• Mimi's Café in Summerlin. New Orleans style breakfast!
• Society Café in The Encore. Affordable gourmet dinner!
• The Buffet at The Winn. Oh so much food!
• Wazuzu at The Encore. A mix of traditional Asian!
• Mr. Mama's on Decatur. A great local place for breakfast or lunch!

The best part? These were all restaurants I'd never eaten at before.

I'll be reviewing each of them over the next few weeks in my "Place for My Taste" blog (url in the right column of this blog).
