| - ==Vegas Birthday weekend continued==
Feb 18th-Feb 21st
The first to arrive in Vegas were the three Chris'. Christian (christiang.yelp.com) Cebo (cbooz.yelp.com) and myself. After getting settled in our room and having a few drinks to start off the trip, we decided to grab a bite to eat here at Firefly. Christian has been here before so he suggested it. Great pick my friend!
GOOD:
- Various items to choose from. Great menu.
- Bar. While waiting for a table, decided to grab a few jack and cokes.
-Firefly fries (parmesan, herbs, aioli) Who doesn't love fries!?
- Terra y Mare skewers (grilled shrimp, filet mignon, chorizo sausage, salsa verde) Came with 3 skewers. Another good choice.
- Fried calamari (spicy gribiche dipping sauce) One of my faves. I mean who can resist deep fried rings that resemble foreskin!? Squeeze some lemon all over and you're set.
BAD:
- Right when the waiter comes up and asks what we want to drink, this is how the conversation starts:
Waiter: "what can I get you fellas to drink?"
Dude: "Oh, I like your hair!" (he had an awesome mohawk with designs shaved on the side)
Waiter: "oh thank you, I like yours too!"
Dude: *looks at his friends* (they are already clowning) "what!? it was the first thing i noticed!"
What an awkward way to start the dinner. Nothing wrong with complimenting a guy on his hair. The compliment from the waiter talking about how he likes my hair set up a whole night of ridicule.
Yes the "dude" was me and yes the waiter liked my bald head, big deal.
UGLY:
- Firefly. The name of the place. Had us singing this song all night.

But instead our version sounded like this.
You would not believe your eyes
If 100 real buff guys
was the last thing you saw as you fell asleep
Why did we stop and stare?
These buff guys are everywhere
Are we at excalibur?
Oh wells, We don't really care
I'd like to make myself believe
That one guy danced slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause everytime he dances you get weak!
'Cause we'd give a thousand hugs
Hugs from these SD thugs
Our hugs are equivalent to turbuLANCE
Why is this in our heads?
Maybe we should go to bed
Please don't jump on yelp and start a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That this room is turning slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
We should go to sleep!!
Why did that song come out that way?? After a few drinks, ok maybe after A LOT of drinks and always seeing THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER ads you know why that came out that way!
When you do Vegas with us, be prepared for some great laughs. That's how we do!!
