Last night I had dinner in Venice. Or more specifically in the Venitian hotel as I’m still in Vegas. The restaurant was Italian bistro style, set under a beautiful blue sky with light fluffy clouds in a cobbled square, lined with shops and full of performers and people strolling around. There was even a canal complete with gondolas. The crazy thing was that this was INDOORS. Even weirder it was UPSTAIRS above the casino floor. (Who puts canals upstairs? I told you this place was crazy).
It was great though – fantastic Italian food including one of my favourites – arancini di riso, good wine and all far away from all the bling and wildly coloured casino carpets that make your head spin. And even though this was all indoors, the clever lighting (Ok and the fact that the sky was painted on the ceiling) made it feel like it was outdoors.
