With Standards less than a month away, I'm sure that just like me, all of the attendees are beginning to plan their extracurricular activities. There are plenty of intriguing and unusual museums, fabulous shops, theatrical shows and oh, right gambling to keep you entertained outside of Guild events. The GBW information page for Standards has been updated to offer some helpful ideas for nearby eateries to Excalibur, a map of the Las Vegas Strip, ways to move around the city and more.
Vegas has a lot of variety to offer, but if you feel like indulging yourself with some superb cuisine. Check out this article sent to me by Jeff Peachey from The New York Times titled Las Vegas, Off the Eaten Path. If a drum of coconut panna cotta in a wine glass surrounded by buttons of mango mousse, balls of cantaloupe sorbet and caramelized bananas sounds tantalizing to you, then check out Sweets Raku. But if you have more of a meat and potatoes type of appetite then Carson Kitchen might be the place for you. Check out the article and don't forget to indulge in something other than leather when in Vegas.
