Dinner and a show Las Vegas style

Yes, yes, I’m posting about my recent travels all out of order.  I feel I simply must share my Vegas dinner and a show with you though.  We had dinner at Origin India and saw Jersey Boys at the Palazzo (extension of the Venetian).

Dinner and a show: Poole’s and Avenue Q

We definitely saved the best for last!  Before our last show of the season (Broadway Series South), we had dinner at the new and improved Poole’s Downtown Diner.  Then we saw the much anticipated Avenue Q.

Dinner and a show: Bojangles & Spamalot

This is a bit overdue since we went on April 17, but I’ve been really crazy lately.  I had a meeting kinda late, so we couldn’t do the usual try-a-restaurant-in-Raleigh thing.  Instead, we drove thru my favorite fast food joint, Bojangles, on the way to the theatre.

OMG, you guys!

March 27 was date night again for my husband and me – Joe’s Place and The Wedding Singer.  I’ve been so busy that I’m just now getting around to posting about it.
