Kiss the Blarney Stone!

You can kiss the Blarney Stone without having to travel all the way to Blarney, Ireland, to pucker your lips and mingle your mouth germs with the gazillions that have been deposited by tourists from all over the world.

Embedded in the wall of Blarney Castle, the bluestone, as you know, is called Cloch na Blarnan, and giving it a smooch will give you the gift of gab.

But you can partake of the tradition at The D, formerly known as Fitzgerald's at The Fremont Experience in downtown Las Vegas. The D's stone actually came from the castle and is on display at the casino's second-level Vintage Vegas section.

I'd never have found it if I didn't decide to have dinner at Andiamo's on The D's second level.

Did I kiss it? Nope. I don't share my mouth germs with anyone but special people.
