Day 13: Vegas Hard Rock Hotel + Lotus of Siam

In Vegas, we actually stayed in a nice hotel – the Hard Rock Café Hotel. There were costumes from Elton John, Johnny Cash, James Dean, etc. Our hotel was a perfect NYC set-up complete with dice-like tile. We had dinner at a Thai place recommended by our shuttle driver. At first, when we arrived, we thought it was closed – beat-up signs and dark exterior. But luckily, we drove to the backside of the strip mall and found an hour long wait. But worth it! Our pad see-ew and green curry were the best we’d ever had. Apparently this hole in the joint has a chef who is a James Beard 2014 winner and the best chef in the southwest US. It is also the best Thai restaurant in the country.

Overall, an intense and adventurous vacation – I was definitely checked out from the real world given how tough it was but it was also nice to have lots of quality hours to spend with Alex. Thanks to Lola for taking care of Bryson to allow us this time.
