LDW Checklist. Check!

If it's Labor Day, then The Foodie is in Vegas with The Hottie & The Meat Guy. Got a lot on my plate -certainly more than any sane person should attempt...but I never claimed to be sane- and, as such, decided to make a checklist just so I wouldn't forget! On the brightside, I've already got one box ticked off and I haven't even left the 510 yet!

(NOTE: I'll be live updating to check off boxes AND add BONUS/Extra-Credit sidequests completed)

☑- Make reservations @ Heritage Steak before it even opens.
☑- Get The Meat Guy to try the Double Blind Special (Beer in a Paper Bag + Random Shot of Bartender's Choice for six bucks) @ Culinary Dropout. BONUS X2
☑- Do the tasting menu @ Alain Ducasse's miX.
☑- Kuma Snow Cream (just made EATER National's "Ice cream Heatmap").
☑- Art of Flavors Gelato (also made EATER National's "Ice Cream Heatmap"). Hey! We'll have triple digits in Vegas, it's impossible to have TOO much Ice Cream under those conditions.
☑- Get a new mug @ Frankie's Tiki Room.
☑- Try Rick Moonen's new place: Rx Boiler Room. The Rx is pronounced "R-i-x"...get it? /facepalm.
☑- Hit Tacos El Gordo at midnight (or later) on a "school nite".
☑- Alcoholic Milkshakes @ BLT Burger (otherwise The Hottie will pout). BONUS: Twinkies are back in production, so the Twinkie Boy (Twinkie milkshake topped with far too much whipped cream + half a twinkie) should be back on the menu!
☑- 20-Veggie Fried Rice @ China Poblano.
☑- Defeat both The Hottie & The Meat Guy @ KISS Minigolf and THEN text the Professional Liar to taunt him that I'm in Vegas playing KISS Minigolf while he's stuck in court in L.A.
☑- Viva Las Arepas (Never been, but it's on EATER's Heat Map & I <3 Arepas).
▢- People-watch the MASSIVE line of people waiting to get into Marquee on a "school nite".
▢- Don't eat sooooo much that I'll still have capacity for Luckyrice SF on FRI. (The least likely task to be completed).
