The above is where we went… The Venetian…..

Our initial plan is to visit The Venetian to check out the “gambling” situation (no, I don’t gamble)….. then we thought before checking out those place, we should have our dinner first. So we chose 3 Monkeys, as one of our colleague that travel with us wants Halal Food!

Here’s the info:

The food at 3 Monkeys were alright. It’s more “Mexicany” taste…. I think. Even the music and the uniform the waitress wear. Whatever it is… what caught my attention were the 3 GIGANTIC MONKEY plush toys… hahaha! so cute!
