So, we're back in Vegas. As much as the apartment has become affectionately nicknamed "Satan's Ass" - I'm happy to be in it. Happy to be on my own schedule again. Now we're looking at getting a house to get us through the WSOP. Yesterday we looked at a big house out near Sahara and Rainbow where the edge of Vegas housing used to be. Back in the day. The house was nice, but I'm hoping for one with a pool. We'll look some more this weekend. The real estate agent that showed us the property yesterday had gone to a big real estate agent meeting and said the banks are expecting the market to go down another 10% within the next year. He recommended waiting to buy a house at least six months if not a year in either California or Nevada.
Susan and Jeff Brady & Sean Keener are in town independent of one another. It's Jeff's birthday and we went to Osaka to celebrate. It was a fun restaurant where you sit on pillows and take off your shoes to eat. The food was good, and perfect for a birthday dinner. John and I are such Nobu snobs that it was hard not to compare. The Osaka waitress rushed us a bit, bringing out nearly all the food at once, instead of in the set order that Nobu does. This was a little annoying - but luckily the food was great so there was little to complain about.
Today I'm thinking about going to Morel's at the Palazzo. I've been wanting to try their Parmesan truffle fries. Susan and Jeff and Sean can be my guinea pigs. I was shocked that Susan hadn't even heard of the Palazzo. That's how fast Vegas is growing. If you live here, the eye sore of a building going up seems to take forever, but when you're a visitor coming once or twice a year, it's easy to miss the additions. Just for that I drove them through the Town Square.

More good advice on this topir perspective on the finicky process of booking a hostel.
