We gambled a bit more at the Venetian, with Somchai winning another $1,000, this time at the Monte Carlo slot machine, but I lost enough to balance things out. We also had a very good dinner at Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay's new (at the time) Las Vegas outpost. I had been to his New York restaurant and liked it but wasn't wowed, and this place had just opened yesterday, so it could easily have been a disaster, but it was actually one of our best Las Vegas meals. Service was a strong point here, and the restaurant itself was very nicely designed, cleverly divided to mask the fact that it's a pretty cavernous place, and with plenty of interesting design touches to keep everyone entertained. Food was typical Bobby Flay, a nouvelle Tex-Mex. (Food-16, Decor-18, Service-18).
