I strolled in to the Mirage on the 4th of July, slipped onto a comfy stool, and proceeded to feed a handful of bills into the slot machine.
Now, I pined for a cool - thirst-quenching - refreshing cocktail!
Drats!
Unfortunately, the waitress returned from the bar at the end of the Casino to inform me that the machine that prepared the frothy base for the daiquiris was on-the-outs (broken!).
So, I strode out the front door and trotted down to the Aria Hotel at the spanking-new City Center.
Smart move!
Within minutes, the pretty cocktail waitress plopped down an exotic-looking strawberry daiquiri in front of me, decorated to-the-hilt with delicious whipped cream and a huge succulent strawberry crowning it.
Undoubtedly, the drinkie-pooh was the best I've ever slurped down in the desert oasis to date!
But, the delightful treats awaited me elsewhere, too.
At the chic little Skybox cafe on the Casino floor, I indulged myself further with a scrumptious piece of Boston Cream Pie (it's cake, actually).
The truth of the matter?
The chef whipped up a pastry that was so aesthetically-pleasing to gaze upon, that it was almost a shame to wolf it down, for starters.
Indeed, the wedge of chocolate - with the name of ARIA etched in fudge on its face - was worth framing (for posterity's sake?) after all.
For $6.00 - who could ask for more?
If you saunter in for a snack, tell 'em Julian sent 'ya, eh?
Enjoy!
