Las Vegas welcomed us with an awesome view of The Strip
and the pulse of the most attractive gambling city in the world. Our limo
driver was expecting us and to our surprise we arrived in less than fifteen
minutes at the main entrance to the hotel that had become highly recommended to
us. Previous guests had touted: "If you want a luxurious and relaxing Las Vegas
experience and stay in close proximity to the casinos and the nightlife,
thats the Four Seasons. Check-in was unconventional for lack of
better words. The friendly front desk person pointed to one of the elevators
that should lift us into the upper thirties.

We arrived at our spacious accommodations, of which the guest rooms
average five hundred square feet and offer large marble bathrooms with soaking
tubs and separate glass enclosed showers. On the counters were placed
L'Occitane toiletries. The suites were furnished and decorated in traditional
classy, comfortably chic style, although our accommodations left some
maintenance issues to be addressed. Most accommodations offer truly spectacular
views of The Strip and the surrounding desert. The eight thousand
square foot family friendly outdoor pool area, which is surrounded by lush
landscape, offers whirlpools and decks equipped with arbors for shade. Evian
mists, cold towels and ice water are on hand in intervals of half an hour,

Dear Friends, |

Our holiday season is just a few weeks away and though
everyone talks about global warming, it gets awfully cold in the northern
hemisphere. Besides meteorologist are predicting a strong winter. How about a
trip to Las Vegas with the entire family? Trust me, there is so much more to do
and see in and around Las Vegas then casinos. We discovered Las Vegas and its
natural attractions for a week with the Four Seasons as our base. The hotel is
famous for its non-gaming, private setting and surroundings and we enjoyed our
stay. If you prefer genuine snow consider the Residenz Heinz Winkler in the
foothills of the Alps in southern Germany. Residenz Heinz Winkler is ready to
perform its wizardry with true Seven Stars cuisine in their Venetian
Restaurant. It is a place where your eyes will envy your taste buds; a place
where culinary paradise is regained. Until next month from
Londons first boutique hotel The Capital and its
Capital Restaurant, serving French cuisine under the direction of
Chef Eric Chavot. |

I remain yours truly |

It is a place where brave new cooking is the norm; a place where your eyes will
envy your taste buds; a place where culinary 'paradise' is regained. Our
previous encounters with the Venetian Restaurant had left us thinking that the
pursuit of World Class Perfection is their culinary manifesto. This
is the constant ambition of founder and Executive Chef Heinz Winkler, a kinetic
chef with great ideas who early on in his career learned the value of risk
taking. The achievement of greatness is fleeting in most cases and maintaining
an edge requires innovative thinking, inspired creativity and the realization
that the act of eating engages all senses as well as the mind. We believe Chef
Winkler is constantly reinventing himself so that the ultimate pleasure is
bestowed upon the one who is sampling his cuisine.

And so we begin our 2008 sampling of Chef Winkler's modern expression
of culinary balance. We enjoyed a few minutes at the bar with an authentic
Bellini made with the perfect amount of white peach puree, before dinner.
Looking around I noticed just how lovely the restaurant was decorated, each
table with its own live orchid and unique silverware art pieces formed into
roosters and lobsters. After being seated, the restaurant manager Fabrice
Kiefer, took great care in creating the right service atmosphere for our dining
experience by orchestrating his team members in a culinary ballet of sorts.
Seamless, unobtrusive tableside routines lead us through the courses as if we
were on a guided tour.
