Daniel Boulud Brasserie

So, while waiting to get into the legendary Tryst, we decided to grab so fine French food at the uber-fancy Daniel Boulud Brasserie (my mother would have been oh-so proud).

For the first time ever I actually wanted to eat a lettuce-based salad, the Caesar Salad was to die for (too bad the wife wouldn't let me finish it for her)! My own Tuna Tartare was the best I had had for a long, long time.

The waitress told us that it actually was not as busy as usual, especially given that it was the weekend, and especially given that it was the Chinese New Year. Apparently there had been a heavy snowstorm in China which prevented a lot of the high rollers from making it out to Sin City. She was more worried about the Venetian and Wynn clones that had sprouted up in Macao (apparently they were replicating the rest of Las Vegas there - the scientists behind Dolly would have been proud) which would slow down the Asian traffic considerably in the years to come.

Great food and useful information - man the French just know how to do it!
