Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse offers amazing service, perfect cocktails from the bar, excellent wine list, and a nice atmosphere.

The food is excellent, including seafood (shrimp starter and crab cake), 8oz fillet. An 18oz was the smallest lobster, which we all thought was ridiculous.

We had a table of maybe 9 or 10 guys head out to this place. The staff was super friendly and we had a team handle the table. They were a bit less “professional” than your normal upscale restaurant, but provided some good fun and entertainment with us. We got into some jokes and one of the guys pulled the “do you have any ketchup” routine for the excellent steaks that were served.

The zero gravity Las Vegas experience is now available for those who wish to feel weightless.

A specially designed Boeing 727 will perform effects of a real space flight including flying smaller parabolas that recreate lunar gravity.

The price of Las Vegas space flights, of course, are steep.  But at least now you have the option.  The company is called Zero G and it the only one of its kind.

This is the identical weightless flight experience used by NASA to train its astronauts and used by Ron Howard and Tom Hanks to film “Apollo 13.”

The Liberace Museum is located in two buildings within a mini-mall on Tropicana Avenue. Visiting it is a deeply American experience, like Liberace himself.

Liberace was as flamboyant as they came. What is especially interesting, is how open he was to being gay in an era when it was so very hush, hush.

However, one doesn’t have to be a fervent Liberace fan to appreciate the sheer spectacle that is the Liberace Museum.
