Marshall & Mollie

I’ve been harassing Eric Byers and his girlfriend Rebekah to come to town for some Vegas fun for quite some time now. Rebecca works a tough schedule for the airlines, but we both lucked out with a free weekend in December, so up they came.

The primary event of the weekend involed a Saturday night Double Date on the town. Our eatery of choice was the Hash House A Go Go. They pride themselves on having meals large enough to subdue even the most emaciated customers.

Notice the size of the plate above. Mollie and I shared some chicken and waffles, while Byers and Rebekah worked over an equally huge pasta dish. We’ve been to the Hash House before, and the experience is always enjoyable. I highly recommend finding one in your town (if you live in Vegas or San Diego that is). If you do go, plan on sharing a meal. Get an appetizer. Get a dessert. Its worth it just to see what kind of of mixing bowl your next course will come out in.

Well fed and rather satisfied, we headed to the Treasure Island Casino to watch Mystere. There are no less than six Cirque du Soleil shows playing in Vegas right now. I have had the pleasure of seeing three of these so far (La Reve, Ka, and now Mystere), and they have yet to disappoint. All three shows were both wonderfully different, but still shared many of the same modernesque/artsy/fantastic/spectacular elements. They are all colorful, captivating, and suprisingly humourous. I find them intriguing, and worth the hefty price tag. I’m glad I got to share this one with Byers and Rebecca, it was a great evening! Thanks for coming out you guys!
