Umami Goes Vegas (2010):

Umami is back from Vegas, poorer and fatter!  The food was, as usual, fun.  A list of the restaurants is below.


The problem, though, was that there were waay too few "Big Wins" like this one:

Okay, that a penny machine, but $90 is $90!  It's also a fun machine to play:  When Bruce Lee appears as a wild, the picture is a torso shot, that expands to fill the column to make stacked wilds, and then he kicks, all accompanied by appropriate sound effects.  It's hilarious (and, obviously, super cool!)  Here's link if you want to see what it looks like (it's not Umami's video, he just found it on YouTube):  WopPAH!


Anyway, here's the list of restaurants and concerts from the trip.  Umami is still getting photos organized, doing laundry, getting reoriented to humidity . . . but will start blogging these soon!
