Finding Beauty with Imperfection

Kura Conveyor Sushi

Dave was in charge of selecting where we ate on our “one night in Vegas.” He selected Kura Conveyor Sushi restaurant. It’s not located on the strip and so we had to catch a cab. We were thankful not to have to drive because the traffic was terrible. But to sum up the dinner and his selection, it was delicious! He knocked it out of the park!

We left Japan almost exactly 6 years ago to the day! Our final meal in Japan was at the sushi-go-round. I know you’ve heard me tell the story about our first time eating at a Sushiro. How we kept stealing other people’s food because we didn’t know how to change the kiosk to English and order properly. We were professionals after almost 3 years! Anyways, it was super easy to order here and food was delivered right to your table or you could take from the conveyor.

We ate all the tuna, eel, salmon, edamame and karaage. Plus, enjoy a delicious draft Sapporo and house sake.

Another fun and so “kawaii” part of the experience was the cartoon that played after you loaded your plates into the rubbish slot. The cartoon played after every 5 plates.

Also, there was a robot that would bring waters to the tables. Again, kawaii!!

This may not have been the most “upscale” dining experience most people would want in Vegas. But for us, who miss all the goodness about Japan and sushi, it was perfect.

Thanks, my love, for finding the absolute perfect spot for dinner. And taking a trip down memory lane as we talked about our favorite experiences in Japan.

Vegas, Baby!

Let’s Go!!! Here we are in Las Vegas. Definitely not a typical Dwyer destination. We are only spending one night before picking up friends (Jenn and Danny) in the morning and heading to Utah. That is where the adventure begins. Dave “won the lottery” for The Wave hike. Properly known as “Coyote Buttes North” – there is a daily limit of 64 people. Our group is 4 of those. We hike Monday. (Super excited!!!😆)

Vegas!

We decided to fly out early and spend a night in Vegas because Dave has never been and well, why not? Most of you know, Vegas is A LOT. And for this little country mouse who has lived in rural Florida for the past two years, it’s Extra A LOT. Crowds, noise and smoking!?!

The traffic is unreal

Still fun. We’ve walked around and ate lunch. Played the slots and got “free” wine. Not really because we paid to gamble away our $20. We are staying at the Nobu Hotel. It is part of the Caesar Resort. It is a Japanese owned hotel and it’s Ah-mazing. Huge room, bathrobes, and Japanese slippers. ❤️ oh! And they have a yoga mat!! I highly recommend it. It so quiet and comfy.

There will be several more blogs this week as we hike not only the wave, but also Zion and Bryce NP. Meanwhile, please enjoy the Bellagio Fountains.
