| - The best meal we had in Vegas, we picked this restaurant because it was in Caesar's Palace, which was supposed to have fireworks on the 4th this year (but didn't) and also because I had a dream involving crab legs. Yes, crab legs.
I ordered said legs, and our waiter took the liberty of bringing me the smaller portion, with the explanation that he thought I might want to start with the smaller plate, as I could always order more if I wanted. He was so right, my eyes being much bigger than my stomach, even though the king crab was really excellent. (And nicely pre-cracked so I could maintain a delicate and girly demeanor while wielding the little crab fork.)
We shared a bottle of champagne, very nice, and the stone crab appetizer. Stone crab is the specialty and great, though I preferred my legs. Someone at my table ordered oysters, also very good.
Our waiter was fantastic. In conversation, we found out he was a philosophy major and had lived in Chicago, where we're from, so we could have a chat about Chicago winters in the desert.
