March 2, 2009 - I completely forgot to tell you all about dinner Saturday night. After a great day of seeing the LA sights (see last blog post) we went back to Andaz for a few cocktails before dinner. We had the hotel guest services make a reservation for us at BLT Steak. For all the NYC blog followers out there you will recognize the name since BLT has over 7 locations in New York. The dinner was ridiculously good and totally worth it if you are in LA.
As I said guest services had made the reservation for us and somewhere along the way there was a misunderstanding in the chain of communication and BLT thought that Sarah's Dad owned Andaz. As some of you know Sarah's father works with the family that owns the Hyatt Hotel chain (Andaz is the Hyatt version of the W) and at one point in his career was an executive with the firm. The people at Andaz obviously told BLT that we were VIP's (I love being a VIP) and they should take care of us. In the end we got the best table in the restaurant (in my opinion) and we got a whole bunch of food comped. To top off the night Eric Dickerson walked in about half way through the night and sat down right in front of us.
Sarah and I are not huge fans of LA but our weekend with her parents and all the great food we ate was a highlight of 500o Miles Of Freedom.
We are now in Vegas for the night and then continuing back east tomorrow. We are staying at the Venetian hotel and got a great room rate. Tonight we ate at B&B Mario Batali restaurant on the property. The place was fantastic and well worth the bill. After dinner we did some gambling (not me) and didn't fair as well as Tahoe. Oh well maybe next time.
The trip is over within the week so we are dealing with that. 48 days on the road is a bit tiring...
Hope all are well.
