I have just returned from a trip to Vegas, so for the next week you will get your fill of my dining, shopping, and shoe convention experiences.
The first night, we went to the Tao Asian Bistro that is a celebrity hangout in The Venetian. It is over 42,000 square feet, that boasts a nightclub, lounge and restaurant.
The decor is lush velvets, waterfalls , many unique Buddha sculptures and a hand-carved 20-foot tall Buddha floating over a pond.
The food was awesome. Kudos to Sam Hazen the executive chef who has created a menu that features specialties from China, Japan and Thailand. Not going to list everything ordered, as that would make for a very long blog. But the highlights were the Lobster Wontons, the addictive Edamame, Filet Mignon, a Sea Bass dish that was unlike anything that I have ever had, and of course all topped off with a hot sake.
The only downside to the visit - even though we had reservations - we had to wait an hour for a table.
But I will go back just for the dessert - Chocolate and Raspberry Wontons served with Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream. (Next time - NO SHARING!!).
