Umami Goes Vegas (2010): Day 2: Triple Seven Brew Pub

After a very filling Aloha Breakfast at Aloha Specialties, one really cannot eat very much for, oh, at least a day.  But, given the amount of salt in that breakfast, and after a morning of investing money at various casinos in the area, Umami wasn't very hungry, but was thirsty and so was willing to walk over to Main Street Station to check out the Triple Seven Restaurant and Microbrewery.  This is big, high ceilinged room just off the casino floor, with lots of tables and a long bar.


Lunch was a tall glass of Leilani's Mango Cream Ale.  It's apparently an annual summer special.  It has very slight mango flavor, but is not overly sweet.  Good beer.


Umami sat the bar, a couple of stools down from a person of sketchy appearance.  Sketchy ordered only a coke, and then several straws, which he stuck together end to end, and used the contraption to pick coke up out of the glass by holding his finger over one end.  Then he let the soda drip out slowly, all the while trying to chat up the waitress.   When he made a move to leave without paying, the waitress called him on it ("Umm, excuse me . . . ").  He apologized, pulled out a massive roll of $100s, paid his bill, tipped something like ten dollars, and wandered off in the afternoon.  The waitress called him one of the stranger customers she'd ever had.  Umami thinks if that was the weirdest, she's doing very well.


Beer completed, it was off to play some slots.  Maybe the "Sex and the City" machine?  Upapa doesn't "play that kine," but Umami's fortified by mango and alcohol and will give it a spin . . .
