Orchids Garden Dim Sum and Sushi Dan, Vegas

View from the Stratoshphere

Towards the end of our stay in Vegas, we went to a brunch party at Orchids Garden and had some dim sum.

Since there were a lot of people in our group we ordered many, many plates of dim sum. It was hard to take pictures because all I wanted to do was eat as soon as they put each plate down on the table! Here’s what I managed to snap before giving in.

My favorites were the bean curd roll, clams, and a spicy kind of beef look fun. But everything that I tried was very tasty. I’d definitely go there again if we were in town.

Later that night we went to dinner at Sushi Dan. My cousin who recommended the restaurant came along with us.

She had the tempura roll and salmon nigiri.

My mom had a salmon teishoku – it was a tasty and huge portion.

It was so much food! I guess our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We shared our tempura and sushi with my mom and cousin, without that we wouldn’t have come close to finishing it all!

After dinner it was pretty late and my mom was getting tired so we dropped her off at the hotel. We decided to stay out a little longer and check out Bellagio.

We went through their fall display in the lobby which was pretty. This guy below was my favorite.

And of course we had to see the water show outside!

It had been so many years since either of us had been to Vegas, we weren’t too sure what to expect. But I’m happy to say that we both had much more fun than we expected. I can see why so many people from Hawaii like to hang out here. Now if only those airfare prices would go back down!

Well I’m sure that your readers appreciate the fact that you managed to get some photos! I know I do. I’ve been pigging out myself but unlike you, when I set eyes on the eats, it’s forget the camera and dig in! (lame, but polynesian paralysis has really took a hold on me!)

About the roach poo….oh I hope never, ever to see that coming out of our coffeemaker!

Hey rowena,
Thanks, I’m glad you appreciate the photos. And I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying some polynesian paralysis while home! :D
