We have been posting about our recent trip to Nevada. If you missed those posts, please go back and read our previous posts to catch up, thanks!
During our Nevada trip, my girlfriend very graciously, stayed with our girls so that Mike and I could have dates every night. Thanks friend!
Our favorite restaurant this trip was Joe’s Stone Crab.

They had a Farmer’s Chop salad that was quite possibly the best salad I have ever eaten! Mike and I had never had stone crab but we are both huge fans of Alaskan King Crab so we were excited to try something new. Stone crab ranks right up there with King Crab! The atmosphere, service and the food was excellent, so excellent we kept returning to Joe's!
We walked from Joe’s in Caesar’s Palace to the Venetian for a gondola ride and those people can really sing!
One of Mike’s friends who he had spoke with at the conference suggested we eat dinner at Capo’s Italian Steakhouse.
I was a bit skeptical because generally a steakhouse is a steakhouse and an Italian restaurant is an Italian restaurant and I prefer not to mix the two. But the place came highly recommended so we decided to give it a shot. The cab ride to the restaurant should have convinced me to get out and walk to Joe’s. The cabbie looked nice; however, once behind the wheel…the ride to the restaurant was half the adventure.

Thankfully we arrived safely. Once inside Capo’s, we walked inside a small entrance where we were told to pick up the phone and ask to see, “Goose”. A small door about the size of a six inch by six inch abruptly opened and a huge face was staring at us and said, “What do you want?!” Mike said, “Yea, we are here to see Goose.” Completely in character, the man stormed back, “What kind’a place do YOU think we are run'n here that you could come and ask for Goose??!” Then he slammed the small door in our face.
Mike and I looked at one another and busted out laughing…which obviously convinced the guy to let us in.
The website itself is quite an adventure.

Walking in the restaurant is like taking a step back in time. There are several large screen televisions playing the Godfather. There was live music, etc. Capo’s is very old Vegas and the theme is very good; however, the food is another story. I’ve always been told, if I can’t say something nice…don’t say anything at all…so I won’t.
Please join us for our next blog post which is our conclusion and my favorite day of the trip!
