Episode 14: Return to Vegas! (Side Bar with Graham MacLennan, Cheftimony)

Tania goes to Vegas and lives to tell. If you don’t gamble, don’t go to shows, and don’t visit “Celebrity Chef” restaurants, what on earth does one do in Sin City? Well A LOT as it turns out. In this “Side Bar” episode, Tania chats with returning guest Graham MacLennan (creator and producer of the Cheftimony Podcast) about Tania’s recent trip to Las Vegas, and her experience of that crazy place through her eyes as reticent newbie turned hooked Vegas geek. What brought on the conversion? Tania talks about her time on the Strip, seeing the Sphere, wandering through “Old Vegas”, checking out Downtown dive bars and getting into the very cool museum scene (yes - they’ve got museums!). Tania also shares a way to escape the madness and head into nature by taking a side trip into the spectacular and awe-inspiring Red Rock Canyon, just a short drive outside of Las Vegas. And then there’s Oscars Steakhouse at the Plaza. On-point cocktails, perfect Caesar Salad, thick griilled asparagus stalks, luxurious mac n’ cheese, roasted brussels sprouts sprinkled with parmesan, juicy rib eye on the bone perfectly grilled, salted and sliced…and much, much more. Want to see yourself in a scene from “Casino”? This is it. There’s also Evel Pie, Letty’s tacos, BBQ food trucks, wine exploring for everyday tasters, and jumping into the mix. Your Vegas adventure need not be fancy (but your pocketbook might think it is!). It’s all about just getting out there and letting it ride.
