| - i'm being held captive. strapped into the passenger seat of a car careening up the 15 fwy at 117mph. behind the wheel, a Persian with a lit cigarette bouncing off of his bottom lip, while he babbles on and on about how he knows what he's doing. im not convinced.
in record time, me and a few buddies make it to Sin City, Las Vegas. our goal? to have 3 days, and two nights of debauchery that none of us ever talk about again. thats right...a Bachelor Party.
did i mention its 107 degrees outside? and that its freaking 10PM!! im going to spare you the details of most of our exploits. well, those that i can remember. let me set the scene; its 4pm on Saturday and the boys and i are sitting in our hotel room staring at the TV with lifeless eyes. we just woke up from a 2 hour nap, and are slowly gathering our senses. out of nowhere, the Groom to be blurts "i could go for some Ramen..hey Mike, do you know any Ramen Joints around here?" after questioning the mental state of my good friend, for asking about a hot soup, in freaking Las Vegas. i remind myself that this is his bachelors weekend, and therefore he gets whatever he wants. so, onto Las Vegas Yelp i went, and thats where i found Shuseki.
We found the joint with little trouble, and found quick parking. from the outside, the size of this place is a bit deceiving. it looks small, but is very big inside. our party of 7 got sat right away, by a very nice lady with a thick Japanese accent. after surveying the vast menu, the 7 of us made our selections. i opted for the Tonkatsu Ramen, and the groom got the TanTan Ramen. all the guys ordered different stuff and agreed to share. after a short while, our food began to make its way out of the kitchen. my Ramen arrived in a rather large, tank-like, bowl. the broth was decent, and the noodles had a good consistency. i had a sip of the grooms TenTen Ramen, and enjoyed the slight spicy-ness it offered. i sampled Sushi, Tempura, and a concoction called a "Japanese Pizza". all of it was tasty, and everyone was happy.
Thank you, Yelp, for helping me look like a hero to my bro's. hang-overs alleviated, and the groom re-vitalized, we gladly tipped the service heavily, and made our way back to the strip. from there, its all pretty much a blur...thats my story, and im sticking to it.
