Las Vegas, Part IV

Our last day in Las Vegas was probably my favorite.  My husband is a huge Man vs. Food and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fan and is always on the lookout to try a restaurant featured on one of the shows.  On Sunday, we set out to the Forum Shops to have lunch at Max Brenner.

The menu at Max Brenner features more chocolate-based dishes than I ever though imaginable.

Dave started off with Mexican hot chocolate, served in the Hug Mug.

I was a little overwhelmed with all the chocolate and decided to have something a little less sweet, the BALT (a BLT with avocado).  This was the best sandwich I've ever eaten.  I followed it up with their churros fondue, which was equally delicious.

We decided to walk back to our hotel so we could burn off a few of the many calories we consumed.  When I saw this sign I immediately asked how I could submit my resume as I think this day job would be perfect for me.

I also saw some showgirls, taking a little break.

That evening we headed back to Caesar's Palace for our evening entertainment, Absinthe.  I'm not quite sure how to describe Absinthe other than to say it was probably the most entertaining show I've ever seen.  The show is considered an acro-cabaret variety show and is performed in the round inside a very cool tent.  Before the show, you can spend time in the beer garden outside the Spiegeltent.  There were lots of things to do including socializing at one of the bars and games including corn hole and ladder golf.

There are only about 600 seats and every single one of them has a terrific view.

The acts included lots of acrobatics, each more amazing than the last.





There was also lots of entertainment, hosted by the Gazillionaire and his assistant, Penny Pibbets.  They were hilarious, especially Penny's (R-rated)sock puppet show.



The show was funny, raunchy, entertaining and down right amazing.  I wish I saw it earlier in our trip because I definitely would have done a repeat showing.

Thank you, Dave, for a fantastic birthday trip.  I can't wait to do it again next year!
