In which my adventure in Sin City concludes. Psycho Las Vegas Day 3 was when my energy level slowly started fading.

In which I turn 36 years old, and am treated to a delicious celebratory dinner at one of Los Angeles’ finest dining establishments. Click through for pictures and descriptions from a night of outstanding food and wine.
