Meanwhile, on TMZ... “Matt Damon has been spotted shooting the next Bourne movie at Aria. But sources say there’s been tension on set, due in part to Brian Malarkey’s very distracting new-to-Vegas seafood restaurant...” Confession: we’re the “sources.” And, of course, the very distracting restaurant is Herringbone—a lounge-like spot with a nice patio
“But there’s a snack wagon.” That’s you, convincing whoever needs convincing to kindly join you for dinner at Harvest—a new restaurant where the Negronis are bottled and your meals are subject to the delicious whims of chef Roy Ellamar.

Last weekend involved Valentine’s Day. This weekend involves You-Eating-Kobe-Beef-Meatballs-and-Drinking-Candied-Bacon-Old-Fashioneds Day. ... We’re still working on the name.
