I enjoyed the Lip Smacking Foodie Tour in Las Vegas.  Started off a bit bad as their rep sent us to the Downtown location.  We arrived and found a group of people standing in a courtyard of a local restaurant.  The rep went around and checked everyone in and then when he got to us, he said something was wrong.  He got on the phone and in minutes was back saying that our tour started at the Aria Resort.  Motha F, we just took a cab ride from the Aria to go downtown.  We had to grab another cab and go back to where we started which was the Aria.  Arrived at Javiar's to find our group done eating.  Our food was on the table and they allowed us a few minutes to devour the incredible Enchildas before whisking us off to the next location which was also at the Aria.  Turns out the entire group was from Hawaii so we made some new friends quite quickly.  Next up was Julian Serrano where we enjoyed some nice appetizers and Paella.  Food here was good but not great.  I kept thinking about those Enchiladas at Javier's.  The highlight was the last stop at Mastro's Ocean Club.  Beautiful venue where we enjoyed a delicious Caprese Salad, Steak and an incredible selection of desserts.  All delicious.  We ended up sitting at Mastro's after the tour ended and enjoyed several glasses of vino.  Our guide was great and I would recommend this tour.  Price is $200 per person.

Always enjoy staying at the Aria in Las Vegas.  Love the hotel, casino and variety of restaurants within the hotel.  Julian Serrano is located in the lobby of the Aria and I have enjoyed the food and service here several times.  On this visit we enjoyed a family style dinner where we let the waiter pick most of our small plates.  We told him to fire away and bring some of the restaurants most popular dishes.  We sat back and sampled a wide variety of flavors.  While nothing was really spectacular we did enjoy most everything on the table.  The Black Rice with Calamari and Lobster and Short Ribs were probably my favorites along with the Fresh Calamari.
