I read this fellows blog occasionally. I enjoy his writing and am a
big fan of his "Gallery of Regrettable Food," which is how I
originally found his website.

He recently took a trip to Las Vegas and stayed at the Venetian. I
enjoyed reading about his trip, and his unusual observations about the
city.

The first part of the report is up now... from the tease I can only
assume there is more to come.

Enjoy.

Grizwald but every morning I wake up happy to be there."

Great link- I like the brochure about the Gobbler hotel/restaurant in
Johnson Creek Wi. I grew up not too far away from that place and I had
heard stories about the carpeting on the wall and the rotating bar.
