Nine Fine Irishmen - Las Vegas NV

Happy Hour in Las Vegas.

The conference work is done and it's time to ease into the 8-hour marathon that seems to follow when you're on the Strip.

Sleep? Not a lot. Too much stimulation.

Loved this half-order of excellent Buffalo Wings. Yes, the celery was pretty tired, like The Wingophile later in the week.

But the wings were wonderful.

Solid NY Butter sauce, lovingly applied.

(I think double-tossed.)

The wings were excellent quality, ideally-sized with not a hint of gristle.

It yielded perfectly and smartly to each bite.

The second-best part?

They're six bucks at Happy Hour.
