We wandered into Las Vegas again yesterday on a kind of different mission: my wife and daughter wanted to go see the musical Wicked at the Smith Center. I went along just for some quiet time in Las Vegas. We left about 15:00 for a 17:00 reservation at a restaurant named Mundo which is near the theater in the World Market Center.
They bill themselves as a Latin chic restaurant; it was fine. We only had appetizers and drinks. While the drinks were good and fairly inexpensive, the appetizers were quite unusual and in the $12-15 range. For example, ahi tuna on a tostada - my wife loves ahi so she had to try it and I even had a bit. It was surprisingly good though certainly different! (I should have tried taking photos of the food but I'm usually too hungry; at least that's my excuse.) I'm sure quite a lot of their evening business comes from the Smith Center crowd since it is so very convenient. There are city and county buildings in the area that probably contribute to the lunch crowd not to mention other businesses in the World Market Center. (Ok, the name is pretty presumptuous but the building is quite interesting. Maybe the 'Our Little Glitzy Corner of the Desert Design Center' wouldn't have the same ring!)
Anyway, while the ladies whiled away two & three quarters hours seeing the show, I took off and ran around the city just checking a few things out. For example, wandering around in Frys isn't as much with my wife along; she is too practical! I can look at these weird things and dream about doing outrageous stuff. It was certainly more fun for me than going to the show! Cheaper too! I guess they liked the show and thought the cast talented but thought it rather long. They also thought they might need crampons to reach their seats!
In the end we made it home by midnight. Reason enough for us not to do this too often! However it was only about 65F (18C) so we could open the windows and cool the house off. Very nice for sleeping! Today we are recovering from the long day and working on those leftovers I have been whining about. We need to take it easy on creating them in the future; this eating the same thing for a week is getting tiresome.
Enough whining. Have a good one!

WE hit Wicked on Thursday night, you should have gone, it was nice. And we too had the cheap seats. But Fry's is almost as amusing.
