The Chicago Brewing Co.

A few years ago Randy and I discovered The Chicago Brewing Co. located inside the 4 queens Casino. It's a tiny little bar area, but we come here because we like to get the beer sampler. Some beers are really good and some are pretty awful. Randy and I particularly hate the hardway IPA. The weizenheimer is damn good and whatever the seasonal #1 is, it's really good too. It's sweet and almost a dessert beer. For the non alcoholic person in your party, the root beer kicks ass.

The plaza

Yes, we are staying at the plaza. I've always wanted to stay around the fremont st area.

We got a mini suite. It's not too shabby. The decor is rather dated. The room has a ghetto 20 inch tube TV, but really, who comes to Vegas to watch TV? The shower and toilet area is rather small, but luckily the the double sink area is roomy.

The room itself is spacious with a great view of the las Vegas strip. There is a little bar area with a mini fridge. The best thing is that it sports a walk in closet. The only complaint I have is that it only has 6 hangers. What is the point of all that hanging space if there are only 6 hangers. Do they expect people to bring their own?

We had dinner at the buffet. It's rather limited, but what they do have is good. Randy and I shelled out the extra $7 for the pound of crab legs and it was totally worth it.

Now we're going to head out.

Coke store

Only in vegas do I think an entire store dedicated to coke stuff would work. I stop here when I can to get myself a chocolate coke. Yum.

On the road again

so i'm trying a new thing right now, blogging via email from my iphone. hope it works well.

anyway, i'm on my way to las vegas with randy to attend WPPI. i was hoping greg and yvette would be there, but they are both busy doing other things. at least kalen will be there. i'll probably meet up with him for lots of beer later.

my brother and sister will also be in las vegas this weekend. i don't think i'll run into them. vegas is a big place and i doubt either are into attending photo conferences. if you are going to WPPI too give me a call and we'll meet for drinks.
