Buzio's @ Rio
Since it rained all day we stayed inside the Rio resort and casino located off The Strip on the west side of the I-15. For dinner we tried Buzio's, a seafood restaurant. We were seated near the window which has a nice view of Rio's VooDoo Beach:
The pool area was empty, I guess everyone was inside to escape the storm that rolled into Vegas. The menu:
Buzio's has a open kitchen:
Soft rolls, hard rolls, and a mini baguette:
On the menu was a delicious lemonade...fresh lemon juice with aquahealth bottle water and sweetened with organic agave nectar:
For appetizer we went with a Jumbo Lump Crab Cake.
A bowl of the New England Clam Chowder, this was really good!
The Dry Aged Bone-in Ribeye with charbroiled shrimp, green beans and glazed carrots. They cooked it perfectly!
One of the specialties of Buzio's is the fresh fish, we ordered a Miso marinated Chilean Sea Bass. The fish was very good as were the sauteed mixed mushrooms and sweet potato fries:
The Fish and Chips were good, I didn't expect such a generous portion!

Should I be worried???
When I checked into my hotel the hostess asked if I was superstitious. I told her that I wasn't so I got this: Hmmm...should I go in? =O -MW...
Thunder storm and floods!
So we're in Las Vegas and wanted to check out the High Roller, the world's tallest Ferris Wheel: I thought it would be cool to be at the top when a storm approached the Sin City. Unfortunately the rain hit Las Vegas hard and brought too much water to the ...

Icepan..again!
Whenever I am near the Harrah's casino I always hit up Icepan for some tasty handmade ice cream. The seasonal selection was watermelon which sounded great for a hot Las Vegas summer: I've posted about this place before but I have to say, the Watermelon wa...
Pho Da Nang
Anyone here like Vietnamese food? Next to the Sports Book and Sports Deli at the Rio is a place called Pho Da Nang. They have an assortment of the usual Vietnam food items on their menu. We start with the Cha Giao, a crispy fried spring roll: It comes wit...
Yumm!!! Need to check this place out, MW!
Good eats and a scenic drive, seems to me that it was a good trip overall, Ming. As far as the street flooding goes, I can totally relate, as my hometown also has poor drainage system. Glad you took an SUV for the trip! Thanks for sharing and I am glad no...
My statement might be a tad too strong
Anybody that against PHO commits crime against humanity :) :) :). You should go to Saigon (the real city) and try different variety of pho. It's mind bogglingly delicious and diverse. cen@jkt
re: strong
I haven't ventured to Vietnam but I can imagine how wonderful the Pho must be. Do you add the herbs, sprouts, lime, and peppers? I see some dip their noodles with hosin and fish sauce. -MW
I only add
Herbs (kind of mint leaves actually), chopped chilies, chily sauce, hosin sauce, and lemon. cen@jkt
re: add
I do siracha but the peppers and other hot sauce they provide is usually too spicy for me! -MW
re: nice
Fortunately it was very nice...it turned out to be very lucky! Hope all is well sten and HAGWE! -MW
