O + Picasso

Obviously, there was a trip to Vegas the past weekend. I have yet to update photos because I'm really, really lazy. But I will do a food update!

We went to see the Cirque Du Soleil show "O" first which was amazing. I was so entertained I felt like time went by really fast. I was surprised when it was over. I wanted to see more crazy tricks and stunts.

The hall had really cool statues carved from iron all over the place. Really beautiful delicate pieces worth lots of money... Here's a few pictures.

 

Then, we headed to Picasso on the other side of the hotel and wow. Really unique look. Not to mention the AUTHENTIC Picasso paintings on every wall! Crazy. I was this close to real Picasso art. So cool.

Would I go again: I would have to say yes, only because not only does this place have a wonderful atmosphere inside the restaurant, but it totally restored my faith in Vegas dining. Ahem David Burke... Can we say, Lobster steak and bubble gum creme fraiche? Yea... Lets not go there.
