We had a lazy day – then into the Venetian for dinner and
the Human Nature Motown show.
We had dinner at Postrio (one of Wolfgang Pucks
restaurants). Very yummy and dessert was divine! Something we have noticed
about restaurants here is the number of staff. There is “meet and greet guy”
who stands at the desk and says hello. He hands you off to “take you to the
table girl” (also usually known as “very short skirt girl”) who shows you to
the table. “Water boy” brings you a glass and keeps it topped up with iced
water. “Waiter” (almost always a bloke), takes the order. “Delivery guy” brings
the food. “Water boy” also doubles as “clears the table boy”. Oddy, the jobs
are clearly demarcated and nobody steps into anyone else’s patch. The other day
we arrived at the desk and “meet and greet guy” had stepped away. “Waiter” and
“”take you to the table girls” stood 3 feet away from us blankly ignoring us.
After a few minutes “meet and greet guy” arrived, said hello and summoned “take
you to the table girl” who smiled as if she had not be ignoring us a minute
ago. Strange!
The Human Nature show was brilliant, lots of old Motown hits like
Mr Postman, Save up all your tears, Stop, in the name of love, Earth Angel etc.
The harmonies were great, and they did a bit of A cappella. Lots of fun dancing
in the aisle and they taught us the moves for Stop, in the name of love. We got
autographs and a pic after the show.
