Finally catching up on my work email here at The Venetian...5pm...After spending a sunny & hot afternoon schmoozing with colleagues in the pool garden, I decided to make a pit-stop at The Coffee Bean to grab a Chai Latte Light before heading back to my luxury suite (which, I swear, looks like a mini papal enclave).
My experience with the Coffee Bean in LA has always been pretty decent...it's basically Starbucks without the "star," but cost the same "bucks." Anyway, this barista who was working the counter here at the Venetian's Coffee Bean screwed up my Chai Latte Light order twice...the taste was fairly pedestrian...and the store looks like it was hit by one of the Venetian's gondolas that ran aground.
I should have known better and went to Bouchon Bakery for my afternoon jolt. Oh well, there is always tomorrow morning.
I had to get this review off my chest. More Sin City reviews (of more illustrious places) after I'm back home to the glimmering verticality of NYC...and I've got plenty to say...
