the view from an 18-dollar martini

It was maybe one of those moments that we work so hard for and yet feel guilty about --  the self-indulgence aspect, you know.

The photo is from the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel... the Mandarin Bar, perhaps the most over-the-top extravagant cocktail lounge I've ever lounged in.  It's a place where Jerry and I go once each time we come to Las Vegas... It's dark, quiet, elegant, a bit decadent... with a view that keeps your attention.

I wish I could remember the name of the martini I had... I want another one.  Next visit.
