My Dinner with BJ

My nephew BJ, son of my sister Diane, showed up in Vegas yesterday and gave me a call.  We dined, along with his business partner Juan, at the Voo Doo Steakhouse on the 50th floor of the Rio.

More later...

Later:

Dinner at the Voo Doo begins with the elevator ride up the outside of the 50 story Rio tower in a floor-to-ceiling windowed elevator car. It is a spectacular view.

In the restaurant we were seated right on the window facing the Strip.  As we dined on dry aged and prime steaks the sun set and the lights illuminated the Strip.  Good company, great food, spectacular view, what could be better?

BJ and Juan are in town for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Fan Expo at Mandalay Bay.  Juan and BJ represent one of the UFC fighters that Juan hooked up with through a friend.  Las Vegas:  a great place to mix business with pleasure.

After dinner we did a quick tour of the shops in the Masquerade Village which included a sports memorabilia store with lots of autographed baseballs, football helmets and framed celebrity photos.

BJ was thinking the clubs would be hopping by eleven or midnight and he wanted to put his feet up for a little while before they hit the nightclub scene.  Seeing that midnight is 3 AM back in Columbus, I wonder if they ever made it?  Oh yeah, they're young.

Me?  I just headed home and crashed.
