An Amazing Night, Great Friends & a Little Old Vegas Magic…read more
What an incredible night with one of my great friends, Cathi! She was in Las Vegas for the ASD Convention, and I was so happy to have the chance to spend some time together again while she was in town.
I picked Cathi up at the convention hall and brought her back to my condo, where she got to meet Brando for the first time. And, of course, Brando immediately decided she was his new best friend! He absolutely loved her, soaking up all the attention, affection, and probably hoping she had treats hidden somewhere.
After catching up, laughing, and giving Brando a little time to show off his personality, I headed out for a walk with him before starting our evening. It was the perfect beginning to a night that was all about friendship, food, and enjoying the moment.
From there, we headed to South Point Casino for dinner at Primarily Prime Rib. There is something special about this place. The atmosphere has that classic old-Vegas feeling that makes dinner feel like more than just a meal. It has a timeless, comfortable elegance that takes you back to the days when Las Vegas was all about great food, great service, and making an evening out of it.
We started with a glass of wine to celebrate our friendship. After all, good friends deserve a toast!
For dinner, we both ordered the South Point Cut. 10 ounces of absolute goodness! Along with it came a perfectly baked potato loaded with all the fixings and a tableside salad topped with homemade blue cheese dressing. And let's not forget about the amazing sour dough bread that came with the meal.
Everything came together beautifully. The Prime Rib was delicious, the potato was exactly what a Prime Rib dinner calls for, and that blue cheese dressing was the perfect finishing touch for the salad.
And then there was the service.
Impeccable.
A huge shout-out to Stephen, our waiter, who was outstanding from beginning to end. He had the perfect combination of professionalism, attentiveness, personality, and genuine warmth. Great service can make a good dinner memorable, and Stephen definitely helped make this one special. If you visit Primarily Prime Rib at South Point, ask for Stephen. I highly recommend him!
After dinner, it was time to drive CathI back to the Rio. As much as you hate for a great evening to end, sometimes the best nights are the ones that leave you already looking forward to the next time.
A few hugs, a "see you next time," and off she went.
Tonight was a reminder that it doesn't take anything extravagant to create a memorable evening. Sometimes it's simply a great friend, a happy bulldog, a good glass of wine, an amazing Prime Rib, a little old-Vegas atmosphere, and exceptional service. Okay, maybe a little extravagant.
Thank you, Cath, for making the night so special. And thank you, Stephen, for helping make dinner one to remember.
Good friends. Good food. Great memories. Impeccable service. That's a pretty amazing night in Las Vegas.
